Ocean Nova
The Ocean Nova will be reconfigured in 2008 to operate as an Adventure Ship with clean, crisp Scandinavian styling and a reputation as an excellent ship in the Antarctic. Built to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland, Ocean Nova’s ice-strengthened hull has enabled the ship to park in the ice of the Weddell Sea!
