Ocean Nova – small exploration cruise ship

Ocean Nova is a great small ship for Antarctica expeditions. Fully refurbished in 2006 with further annual upgrades and improvements, she was built in Denmark in 1992 to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland, it has a strengthened hull that is ideally suited for expedition travel in Antarctica. The ship has 7 Zodiac boats that are well suited for disembarking and wildlife watching. EXPEDITION & EXPLORATION CRUISE CHAT
