MS OCEAN NOVA

The Scandinavian expedition ship

MS Ocean Nova

Scandinavian-style expedition ship

The Ocean Nova was built for passenger transport along the Greenland coast and converted into a modern expedition ship in 2006. With its clean, unadorned Scandinavian style and a panoramic lounge for observing the fascinating wildlife, it offers ideal conditions for voyages to the polar regions.

The ship can accommodate 72 guests in 37 outside cabins. It features a spacious dining room, a panoramic lounge, and a bar with a wide selection of spirits and wines, as well as a library with polar-related books, a lecture room, and a small fitness room. Wine, beer, juice, and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner on board, as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino, water, and snacks throughout the expedition. A doctor and a small sick bay are also on board. Wi-Fi is available on board. With a fleet of 7 Zodiacs on board, all passengers can be transported at the same time, allowing for even more time ashore.

All cabins on the Ocean Nova are outside cabins and have their own bathroom with shower, toilet, and hairdryer. They are also equipped with a panoramic window, desk with chair, and individually adjustable heating. The twin cabins also have two additional upper fold-down beds that can be used for storage.
