Ocean Victory

Ocean Victory provides a chic, intimate, and exceptionally comfortable small-ship experience in the Arctic and Antarctica. The ship's Arctic cruises cover a range of captivating destinations, including Greenland, Svalbard, Iceland, and the Canadian Arctic.

With the highest available ice rating, Polar code 6/Ice class 1A, Ocean Victory ensures superior stability with its X-Bow®-Infinity design, offering smoother sailing in rough seas compared to many traditional expedition ships. The ship's observation decks are a notable feature, providing a vantage point for observing sea birds, whales, and massive icebergs.

The ship can accommodate up to 174 passengers in its 93 staterooms and suites, with 90% featuring private balconies, ideal for enjoying views from anchor sites in the Arctic or Antarctica. The cabins, designed in a modern Nordic style, are well-lit and comfortably appointed, offering unobstructed sea views from sizable windows based on the chosen cabin type; those on lower decks feature porthole windows. Additionally, dedicated single cabins cater to solo travellers seeking to avoid single supplements.
