The ship Ocean Nova 78 passengers

The expedition ship Ocean Nova is the sister ship to our popular M/S Quest in Svalbard. She was built in Denmark in 1992 and in 2006 she was completely refurbished and has now a career as a small and comfortable expedition ship.

The Ocean Nova takes up to 78 passengers in twin and triple cabins, all with exterior views and en suite facilities. In your cabin you also find a desk with a chair as well as storage space for clothes and equipment.

Ocean Nova provides an experience that is very different from a larger, conventional cruise ship.

In the dining room you are treated to delicious meals and in the panorama lounge you can enjoy a drink with breath-taking views of the surrounding polar landscape. This is where your guides entertain and educate you with lectures on the area’s flora, fauna and history.

On board there is also a library with a collection of polar books and DVDs. Passengers are welcome on the bridge around the clock and there is always something to see or search for from the spacious observation decks. The atmosphere on board Ocean Nova is relaxed and very friendly. Travelling with this small expedition ship offers an entirely different experience and perspective than you get on a larger and more conventional cruise ship.
