SHIPBOARD INFORMATION
The Ocean Nova was built in 1992 at the Ørskov Shipyard in
Frederikshavn, Denmark, to navigate the ice-choked waters off Western
Greenland. The ship was upgraded in 2000 and will be significantly
refurbished once again in 2006 to include a glass-enclosed forward
observation lounge on the top deck - and to offer Quark Expeditions
travelers even more of a comfortable retreat after days of exploring
ashore. (The ship photos on the left have been digitally modified
to include the planned new features.)
Carrying up to 82 passengers and classified to operate in ice-filled
waters, the 73-meter vessel is guided by Danish officers with deep
experience in polar navigation. With outside cabins only (all with
private facilities), a spacious dining room and a comfortable library,
the OCEAN NOVA is a perfect expedition ship for discovering Antarctica.
