Ocean Nova

Adventure

The Ocean Nova (formerly the Sarpik Ittuk) was built in Frederikshavn, Denmark. The vessel, originally designed to navigate the ice-choked waters off Western Greenland, was upgraded in 2000 and significantly refurbished in 2006. The cabins are all outside and range from triples to twins (a few with upper/lower berths) - all with private facilities. With a spacious dining room and a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room on the top deck, this expedition vessel is a comfortable option for discovering the polar regions.
