Polar Latitudes Expedition Ship

Ocean Nova

Max. Passengers: 80 Crew: 50 Passenger to Crew Ratio: 1.6/1 Maximum Speed: 12kn Ice Class: 1B (Hull Ice 1A) Length: 80m Register: Nassau, Bahamas

The Ocean Nova is a small expedition vessel designed for voyages in the polar regions. With a maximum of around 80 guests on board, it offers a personal atmosphere and allows for immersive nature experiences away from the scale of larger cruise ships. Thanks to its compact size, the vessel can also reach remote bays and stretches of coastline. The small number of passengers offers a key advantage: in many cases, all guests can go ashore at the same time, leaving more time for Zodiac excursions and wildlife observation. On board, guests can expect a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The Panorama Lounge with its 200-degree view forms the heart of the ship and is complemented by a restaurant, a library, and several open deck areas. The Ocean Nova is also characterised by its comparatively low fuel consumption and offers guests the opportunity to support scientific projects as part of a citizen science programme during the voyage.
