The Ocean Nova is a modern ship built in 1992 at the Orskov Shipyard in Frederikshavn in Denmark. She was built to navigate the ice-choked waters off Western Greenland. The 73-metre vessel, offering comfortable travel for just 68 passengers is the perfect expedition ship for discovering Antarctica, combining the intimacy of a small ship with the stability and spaciousness of a larger vessel.

The Ocean Nova has 37 outside cabins, all featuring private facilities, located on the main, upper and bridge decks. In 2006 she was refurbished and upgraded, adding a glass enclosed forward observation lounge, the perfect spot from which to spy whales and icebergs. There is a spacious dining room on the upper deck as well as a lounge and bar on the bridge deck. The Ocean Nova is a first class boat to explore and discovery the highlights of Antarctica.
