Ocean Nova is an extremely comfortable and well-equipped Antarctic expedition vessel, that was originally built to navigate around Greenland, and is one of the leading vessels classified to operate in ice-filled waters.

Ocean Nova features an excellent glass-enclosed forward observation lounge on the top deck, where lectures by the expedition staff will be given and documentaries and films shown. At the rear of the vessel is a very well-stocked library / reading room and a separate small gym, with basic fitness equipment.

Cabins are outside facing, can be twins and quads, and each with fixed windows, a compact bathroom and all similarly furnished with a desk, chair and simple wardrobe.

The vessel has a spacious open seated dining room serving excellent buffet-style breakfast and lunch, and a choice of meals at a table service dinner.
