Ocean Nova
 EXPEDITION CRUISE SHIP INFORMATION
Ocean Nova was built in 1992 at the Ørskov Shipyard in Frederikshavn, Denmark, to navigate the ice-choked waters off Western Greenland. It was formally known as the Sarpik Ittuk, (Its unusual name combines two Greenlandic words: ittuk refers to the throbbing sound of its engines, and sarpik means "the tip of a whale's tail.") 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 travelers even more of a comfortable retreat after days of exploring ashore.
Carrying up to 96 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.
