Adventure Canada has announced it will expand its fleet with two vessels for the 2026 season, enabling the operator to offer more trips.
Exploris One and Ocean Nova have a capacity of 144 and 78 guests respectively and have been selected following an analysis of their carbon footprint and environmental impact as well as their track record of safety and experience operating in Arctic conditions.
“We are thrilled to be operating on Exploris One and Ocean Nova for the 2026 season and beyond,” Adventure Canada CEO Cedar Swan said.

It was most recently refurbished in 2023 and offers 72 staterooms and suites, two restaurants, a fully equipped fitness area as well as outoor jacuzzis, sauna, steam room and massage facilities.
Meanwhile, the 45-cabin Ocean Nova was purpose-built to sail Greenland in 1992 and offers a restaurant, fully equipped gym, library and panoramic observation lounge. The vessel will be operated in partnership with Nova Logistics.
Both vessels will sail to a range of destinations including Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Scotland.
