Ship
Ocean Nova
A small and comfortable expedition ship
Ocean Nova was originally built in 1992 in Denmark and underwent a full refurbish in 2006. Her smaller size and 1B/1A hull ice class makes her one of the smaller and sturdier expedition ships in the Arctic and Antarctica. With only 78 passengers onboard, she has ideal characterists for expedition cruising. All cabins are twin and triple accommodation with exterior views and private facilities.

Why we love Ocean Nova
- Smaller expedition ship
- Open deck plan
- External views for all cabins
- Bright and open lounge
On board there is also a library with a collection of polar books and DVDs. Passengers are welcome on the bridge around the clock and there is always something to see or search for from the spacious observation decks. The atmosphere on board Ocean Nova is relaxed and very friendly.
