Journey with the Ocean Nova
Food on Board
Enjoy open-seating meals in the roomy restaurant, surrounded by ocean views. Adventure Canada expedition team mingle with guests to share their expertise and swap stories over meals.
Breakfast and lunch include a wide variety of tasty and healthy choices. Globally inspired a la carte suppers offer options to suit every taste, including fish and vegetarian options. Desserts, made fresh daily, are a highlight! Food sensitivities, special diets, and personal choices can be accommodated with advance notice.
Life on Board
Imagine waking up to breathtaking sea views through your cabin windows, each one whispering promises of adventure. Built in Denmark in 1992 for Greenland’s icy waters, this compact ship sails with a lighter carbon footprint than most expedition vessels. Its crown jewel? A glass-enclosed lounge with sweeping 200-degree views—a cozy perch for whale watching and seabird spotting. Prefer the great outdoors? The open decks are a dream come true for photographers and scenery enthusiasts. On the Ocean Nova, every moment connects you to nature, each other, and the thrill of discovery.
From Ship to Shore
Thanks to the Ocean Nova’s intimate group size and our seamless operations, hopping into one of our eight Zodiacs is a breeze—rain, shine, or snow. With the ship’s shallow draft and ability to anchor close to shore, you’ll spend less time ferrying and more time exploring. Need to head back to the ship mid-excursion? No problem. Simply return to the landing site, and we’ll whisk you back in no time. More adventure, less waiting—that’s the Ocean Nova way!
