Ocean Nova
Ocean Nova will operate as an Expedition Ship in Antarctica from November 2007 to March 2008.  This ship offers clean, crisp Scandinavian styling and a reputation as an excellent ship for the Antarctic.  Purpose-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!
