The Ocean Victory, launched in 2021, is one of the most modern small expedition vessels at sea. Purpose-built for discovery, it combines comfort, capability, and a deep commitment to sustainability—an ideal platform for our smallship journeys to some of the world’s most remarkable places.

Food On Board

Meals aboard the Ocean Victory are as much about connection as nourishment. Guests enjoy dining in either of two restaurants, or, when weather allows, outdoor barbecues set against spectacular backdrops. Menus pair international favourites with regional flavours, supported by Adventure Canada’s Taste of Place program, sustainable seafood choices, and reduced-carbon meals that keep sustainability central. Complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks are served with dinner. Between meals, the Nordic Bar offers a welcoming space for drinks and conversation—making the experience a celebration of community, place, and purpose.

From Ship to Shore

Every landing from the Ocean Victory is designed for ease and discovery. A spacious mud room keeps gear organized, while a fleet of eighteen Zodiacs ensures quick, safe access to beaches, coastlines, and wildlife viewing. These versatile crafts bring guests into the heart of the action—whether stepping onto wild shores or cruising past a seabird colony.

With Polar Code 6 and Ice Class 1A certification, the ship navigates icy seas confidently, allowing us to pass through heavier ice and opening access to places few vessels can reach—this should reduce itinerary changes and delayed landings due to ice, a common challenge in Arctic waters.

Responsible Exploration Aboard the Ocean Victory

Aboard the Ocean Victory, adventure is inseparable from responsibility. Every voyage follows three guiding principles: minimize environmental impact, mitigate risks, and maximize the good we do along the way.

Launched in 2021, the Ocean Victory is one of the most environmentally responsible expedition ships afloat. It’s design combines electronically controlled diesel and electric engines to reduce fuel use and emissions, supported by advanced wastewater treatment, dynamic positioning, and efficient energy systems. Sustainability is also built into daily operations, from food and beverage to hotel services.

Together with Adventure Canada’s optional Voyage to Neutral carbon-offset program, the Ocean Victory demonstrates how exploration can be both inspiring and environmentally responsible—charting a path toward a more sustainable future for expedition travel.
