Very few ships I've sailed on so effortlessly combine Ocean Nova's charm and intimacy, plus unparalleled capabilities in the ice. She also serves up one of the best cappuccinos afloat!

Why we like Ocean Nova

  • A small, compact ship with a true expeditionary spirit and loyal fan club
  • Its small size, high ice class rating and outstanding manoeuvrability means it can access places less capable ships can’t
  • Its clean Scandinavian styling and functional cabins are ideal for expeditionary cruising when the destination is the main focus
  • Features a panoramic lounge with almost 360-degree views where you can enjoy the passing scenery and spot wildlife while keeping warm
  • One of the few Arctic ships to offer dedicated single cabins
