Antarctica Small Ship Expedition: Ocean Nova
Antarctic Peninsula
Outstanding value cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula on a small ship from Ushuaia. The expedition takes you out the scenic Beagle Channel and across the mythical waters of the Drake Passage to Antarctica. You’ll be surrounded by scenery that will astound you, with majestic snow-capped peaks soaring overhead and glaciers tumbling to the water's edge. Due to the vessel's small size everyone is able to land at once and maximise time ashore, to witness the abundant wildlife with penguins, seals and seabirds. At this time of year, extra special whale sightings are hoped for!
- The ship’s small size allows access to Antarctica’s hidden gems
- All travellers able to step ashore quickly and at once
- One of the best cruises to see penguins, seals, whales and Antarctica’s natural beauty
- Just 71 passengers makes for an intimate experience for Antarctic explorers
- Expert guides and a modern, comfortable, ice-class Antarctic cruise ship
- Outstanding value for the Antarctic voyage experience of a lifetime!
Everything was more than perfect! Everyone went out of their way to make this a memorable experience!
Friendly staff!
Plan but was always done well and kept my interest.
Each and every member made excellent presentations.
Every day was well planned and the zodiac trips unforgettable

Ship Information
Expedition Vessel: M/V Ocean Nova
The M/V Ocean Nova is a modern and comfortable vessel - one of the few remaining genuinely small ships in polar travel. She was built in Denmark in 1992 to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland, and her ice-strengthened hull is ideally suited for expedition travel in the polar regions both Arctic and Antarctic. The M/V Ocean Nova has capacity for just 71 passengers accommodated in comfortable outside cabins, all with private facilities, including dedicated single, twin and triple cabins. In addition to a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room, a spacious dining room, a bar, a library and an infirmary. The ship has Zodiac boats that are well suited for disembarking and wildlife watching.
