Ocean Nova
Built in Denmark in 1992 and refitted in 2006 this ship delivers clean, crisp Scandinavian styling and a reputation as an excellent ship for Expeditions to Antarctica. Originally built to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland, Ocean Nova's (Sarpik Ittuk) ice-strengthened hull has enabled the ship to park in the ice of the Weddell Sea!
With just 68 guests the Ocean Nova offers small group Expeditions to Antarctica. With a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room on the top deck, and all en-suite cabins this expedition vessel is a comfortable option for discovering the polar regions.
