Ocean Nova was built in Denmark in 1992 and was thoroughly rebuilt in 2006. She now works as a small and comfortable expedition ship. The Ocean Nova can carry up to 78 passengers in twin and triple cabins, all of which have outdoor views and en-suite bathrooms. Your cabin also has a workstation with a chair and storage space for clothes and equipment. The dining room serves exquisite meals, while the panorama lounge serves drinks with breathtaking views of the surrounding frigid region. This is where your guides will entertain and educate you about the flora, animals, and history of the area.

A library with polar literature and DVDs is available on board. Passengers are welcome on the bridge 24 hours a day and there is always something to see or look for from the spacious observation decks. The environment on Ocean Nova is easygoing and welcoming. Traveling on this small expedition ship provides a completely different experience and perspective than on a larger and more traditional cruise ship.
