About the Ship
The Ocean Nova was built in Denmark in 1992 and fully refurbished in 2006. She was designed to navigate the ice-choked waters of Greenland and as such, is ideal for use in both polar regions, to get to places other ships aren’t able to. She has a fantastic glass-enclosed observation lounge and dedicated single cabins for solo travelers who prefer their own space.
