Ocean Nova is a great ship for Antarctica expeditions. It is a sturdy and nimble expedition vessel that was built in Denmark in 1992 to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland.
The ship was fully refurbished in 2006 and since then has benefitted from annual upgrades and improvements.
For our air-cruises, Ocean Nova has a capacity for 67 passengers accommodated in comfortable outside cabins.
The ship offers three categories of accommodation: dedicated Single Cabins, Twin Cabins, and Triple Cabins.
All cabins feature a picture window, a writing desk with a chair, a wardrobe, an individually controlled heating system, and a private bathroom with a shower.
