Ocean Nova Expeditions
Discover Antarctica aboard the nimble Ocean Nova ship, accommodating just 78 guests for immersive polar expeditions with expert guides.
Polar expeditions demand purchase of insurance immediately after initial deposit to qualify for pre-existing condition waivers, avoiding claim denials. Look-back periods of 14-21 days are standard; delays risk exclusions for medical issues. EXP-342 policies address this critical window for high-risk Antarctica travel.
