I would be very pleased to see RMS St Helena continue.
I have always wanted to do a tri on her but so far not been able to.
The small passenger ship is an entrancing prospect (rather than the enormous cruise liner getto).
I wonder if the RMS St Helena could make a profit of subsidise its costs by running other routes such as Sub Antarctic journey to South Georgia/Falklands, or to Tristan de Cunha, etc with passengers?
It is the antithesis of a cruise liner, and desirable as such. The last Royal Mail ship and being a small ship even more desirable (maybe there is still a RMS Queen something on trasatlantic as well).
A small, working ship that carries passengers and sails on sometimes rough seas is very enticing to me, and perhaps others.
Long may RMS St Helena last.
