Ship Overview

Ocean Nova invites you to wake to ever-changing seascapes streaming through your cabin windows, each one hinting at the adventures ahead. Built in Denmark in 1992 for Greenland’s icy waters, this intimate expedition ship blends rugged performance with a surprisingly light footprint compared with many larger vessels. A defining highlight is the glass-enclosed lounge offering sweeping 200-degree views, an ideal perch for whale sightings and seabird watching as the horizon unfolds. If you crave fresh air, the open decks invite photographers and nature lovers to frame the drama of ice, water, and sky. Its shallow draft and easy Zodiac access put exploration within easy reach, shortening transit times and maximizing time on the water and ashore. Onboard life centers around flexible dining—open seating that pairs ocean panoramas with globally inspired menus, including vegetarian and fish options, and desserts baked fresh each day to cap the evening. The ship also accommodates special diets with care and ease. With just 79 guests and a courteous crew of 32, Ocean Nova delivers a close-knit experience where every moment feels connected to nature, to your fellow travelers, and to the spirit of discovery.
