Ocean Victory Review

Review of ocean victory.

MS Ocean Victory cruise ship is an ice-strengthened (polar class 1A / PC6) expedition vessel delivered in February 2021. The boat is owned by the Danish company SunStone Maritime Group (via its USA-based subsidiary SunStone Ships Inc) and until 2024 was operated under charter by Victory Cruise Line USA (brand owned by AQSC/AQV-American Queen Voyages ) and seasonally by Albatros Expeditions ( Copenhagen Denmark -based company specializing in Arctic and Antarctic cruisetours, subsidiary and brand owned by Albatross Travel Group Ltd).

Albatros Expeditions itineraries are in Arctic Europe ( Svalbard Norway , Faroe Islands, Scotland), Arctic Canada (with Greenland-Iceland), Antarctica (with Patagonia/Chilean Fjords and SGSSI-South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ).

Since 2025, during the summers, Ocean Victory is chartered by the Spanish luxury travel company Alma Cruceros.

The vessel (IMO 9868869) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI number 311000868) and registered in Nassau .

Ship technology

Ocean Victory is the second in a series of ten "Ulstein CX103" design (Infinity-Class) expedition vessels, with sisterships Greg Mortimer (2019-Aug), Ocean Explorer (2021-Feb), Sylvia Earle (2022-Oct), Ocean Odyssey (2022-Oct), Ocean Albatros (2022-Oct), Douglas Mawson (2025). Four more units were intended but eventually canceled and replaced by the new BOUNDLESS Class boats.

The patented ULSTEIN X-BOW design is one of the unusual for expedition ships features, The vessel also utilizes the latest technologies in naval engineering. The ship is technically managed by Cruise Management International ( Miami -based passenger vessel/fleet management company). CMI Leisure Miami handles hotel operations.

For the interior designs of this entire series of SunStone-owned ships was contracted the Weston Florida-based company Tomas Tillberg Design.

In November 2018, AQSC signed an agreement for purchasing the brand "Victory Cruise Line", as well as its chartered (from Sunstone Ships) vessels. Victory Cruise Line has a separate fleet and management and operates as a subsidiary company of AQSC. AQSC's Victory Cruise Line cooperated with the US-based shipowner SunStone Ships Inc to construct a custom-designed vessel for expedition-type voyages in polar regions, providing industry's best adventure travel vacation experiences and modern amenities.

With the highest for passenger vessel ice-class 1A (Polar Class 6 / PC6), MS Ocean Victory has icebreaking capacity 1 m (3 ft) and complies with maritime industry's latest polar code requirements and specifications. The boat offers unprecedented levels of safety and environmental protection.

The major advantage of the patented "ULSTEIN X-BOW" design is the ship's ability to navigate with improved stability in comparison to traditional bow-design vessels. X-BOW vessels are less subject to vertical motions (induced by waves), continuing on course smoothly while maintaining high speeds. The ship's engines use less fuel, which results in reduced air emissions and fuel consumption.

The ship is equipped with the latest propulsion and return-to-port systems. It also has top-notch dynamic positioning technology - computer-controlled systems allowing automatic maintenance of the vessel's position through its own propulsion units (thrusters and propellers). This allows stable floating while maintaining the necessary stability for launching watercraft - and without using anchors.

Shipboard facilities

The newbuild expedition vessel features dedicated outdoor observation areas (including fore-located Observation Deck with two Hydraulic Platforms and two Viewing Platforms/Bridge Wings), a stern marina (watersports platform serving the company's sea kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving programs), a fleet of 20x Zodiacs (large-capacity motorized boats used for passenger transportation - tendering and landings). The aft-located Zodiac loading platform is a new design and allows easier and faster boarding. Sun Deck (top-deck forward) is furnished with premium garden furniture (sofas, armchairs, sun loungers) and used for both relaxation and wildlife viewing. On the top-deck bow is the Observation Lounge (served by its own Bar) and midship is the funnel (with four stacks/engine exhaust pipes).

Other facilities include Medical Centre (Infirmary), Change Room (Mudroom), Bar Lounge (lecture theater forward on Deck 5), Dining Room Restaurant, Buffet Restaurant, Ship Shop, Lobby area (Reception Desk), Library, Piano Bar, Art Room, Wellness Centre (Fitness, Spa, Sauna Room, Treatment Rooms for Massages), Lower Sun Deck (Deck 7 aft, with lifeboats and liferafts), Upper Sun Deck (Deck 8 midship, with sunbathing area and swimming pool (infinity), pool bar, two whirlpool hot tubs, alfresco dining area).

Four Zodiac Docks (2 on each side, hull access at sea-level) serve as boat launching platforms.

When chartered by Albatros Expeditions, Ocean Victory provides some exclusive amenities via the company's partnerships with brands like Gerard Bertrand (organic wines from southern France, wine-tasting menus) and Julius Meinl (organic coffees and teas). Albatros also introduces Polar Spa (providing exotic treatments and massages), all-inclusive Suite cabins (with dedicated butler service, complimentary minibar, free laundry and pressing, in-cabin dining / daily served Canapes, Espresso machine / Julius Meinl, unlimited specialty restaurant access).

Decks and Cabins

Ocean Victory staterooms (93 total) allow max capacity 186 passengers. Cabins include 68x Balcony, 9x French Balcony and 16x with Porthole Windows. The vessel is served by 100 crew/staff accommodated in 57 crew cabins. Most cabins (80% of all, excepting only Deck 3's porthole cabins) are with a private, step-out balcony accessible from the living area via sliding, floor-ceiling glass door. Each balcony is furnished with a small table and two deck chairs. 60% of all cabins can be booked with triple occupancy (accommodate a 3rd person on a pull-out couch/sofabed).

• Hotel beds (King-size or two twin, size 200 x 160 cm, ample under-bed storage space for suitcases), sleeping couch (sofabed), bedside cabinets, mirrored vanity (writing desk / dressing table) with chair, built-in dressers with drawers, mini-bar / refrigerator, 42-inch smart HDTV (local and satellite reception), phone (onboard communication only), digital clock / alarm, seating area (small table with 1 or 2 armchairs), spacious wardrobe (closet with hangers, drawers, electronic safe), individual climate control, medical emergency button.

There are a total of 20 pairs of connecting rooms (balconied cabins) that can be booked as one "family stateroom" for up to 6 persons. There are no wheelchair-accessible cabins (suitable for passengers with disabilities).

The boat has 8 decks , of which 6 are passenger-accessible and 4 with cabins.

Itineraries

Starting operations for Victory Cruise Lines, Ocean Victory's itinerary program 2021 (May through September) includes a total of 20 cruises in Alaska (USA) and British Columbia (Canada). Itineraries lengths range between 7-day to 10-day.

Ship's resident scientific staff (including marine biologists and naturalists) lead all expeditions and also provide educational onboard lectures.

Ocean Victory Wiki

Ocean Victory is the first Infinity-Class (ULSTEIN-designed) vessel chartered by Albatros Expeditions - followed by Ocean Albatros (chartered for Antarctic season 2022-2023). The ship-chartering agreement includes a deal with the Miami -based CMI Leisure Management. The company's ship management services include staffing, hotel services, housekeeping, onboard food and beverages, purchasing supplies, logistics. CMI Leisure is among the world's leading companies providing small-ship management services.

On March 16, 2017, SunStone Ships Inc signed the shipbuilding agreement with the Hong Kong -based company "China Merchants Industry Holdings" (abbrev CMIH) for the construction of 4 units. SunStone is the world's largest (by tonnage) shipowner chartering exclusively expedition vessels to cruise travel companies. Since there is an option for an additional 6 sisterships, by this "ULSTEIN CX103" project could be built up to 10 units. The USD 260 million shipbuilding order for the 4 boats was signed in June 2017.

The vessel's keel-laying ceremony (hull/yard number CMIH 196-3) was held on September 19, 2019, at CMHI's Haimen Shipyard. The launch (float out from drydock) was on March 16, 2020. On the same day started the construction of the sistership Sylvia Earle .

Yellow Sea trials (in East China Sea) started on January 22, 2021, and were successfully completed on January 27. During the 5-day sea trials, the boat's machinery was tested by 150+ personnel, including crew, shipyard technicians, CMIH managers, Bureau Veritas representatives, SunStone Ships marine advisors.

The boat was officially delivered to SunStone Ships on October 12, 2021. The signing ceremony was attended by Niels-Erik Lund (SunStone's CEO). Following the boat left CMHI Haimen and via Xiamen sailed to Manila Philippines for crewing. Then it made a technical stop in Papeete (Tahiti Island, French Polynesia) for bunkering and arrived in homeport Ushuaia Argentina to start the inaugural Antarctic season for Albatros Expeditions on Nov 26th (2021).

Albatros Expeditions christened Ocean Victory on December 3, 2021, off the South Georgia Island . The godmother Elise Grondahl (company’s Head of Operations and Product) used a block of ice (crashed into the hull) instead of the traditional champagne bottle. The special event was also participated by Soren Rasmussen (company's owner and Chairman), Hans Lagerweij (company's President) and Laura Sinclair Willis (CEO of the Government of the British dependency "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands").

The company CMIH is a subsidiary of China Merchants Group (among the country's largest groups of companies). Following the contract with SunStone Ships, CMIH signed an agreement with the Norwegian company Ulstein Design (part of Ulstein Group, headquartered in Ulsteinvik Norway ) to supply the ship design and equipment package (ULSTEIN COM / Navigation Bridge system, and the integrated automation systems ULSTEIN IAS and ULSTEIN POWER), and also to supervise the shipbuilding works. For the ship's hotel design was contracted the Florida (USA)-based company Tomas Tillberg Design International (specializing in passenger vessel design). The design features Ulstein's patented X-BOW (providing fuel efficiency and significantly improved stability in rough seas). The vessel complies with the 2009-issued SOLAS requirements for "Virtual Anchorage" and "Safe Return to Port" (SRtP) implemented via Dynamic Positioning System (computer-controlled, automatically maintains ship's position) and Zero Speed Stabilizers (roll reduction system).

CMIH also signed an agreement with the Finnish company "IS Makinen Inc" to pre-fabricate the vessels' cabins, wet units and interior public spaces. For this purpose, Makinen established a cabin assembly plant and an interior workshop facility at the shipbuilding yard in China. Project's shipbuilder is the subsidiary company "China Merchants Heavy Industry" (abbrev CMHI, shipyard near Shanghai ).

The ship is powered by 4x Wartsila-20 diesel engines (two 6-cylinder plus two 8-cylinder) running on HFO (heavy fuel oil). The 6-cylinder engines are fitted with Wartsila-NOR (exhaust gas cleaning system, NOx gas reducing technology). The contract with Wartsila was signed in November 2017.

MS Ocean Victory's charter contract with Aurora Expeditions was signed on June 6, 2018. In October 2018 was announced that the boat will be also chartered by Victory Cruise Line (a subsidiary of AQSC-American Queen Voyages ). There were rumors about Poseidon Expeditions also considering a charter deal for the new boat.

In mid-November 2018, AQSC announced an agreement to acquire the brand "Victory Cruise Line", which included purchasing its two chartered (Sunstone Ships-owned) sisterships Victory I (2001-built, now Ocean Voyager) and Victory 2 (2004-built, now Ocean Navigator). To AQSC's fleet was also added the newbuild Ocean Victory - Sunstone-owned and operated by AQSC under charter. All the 3 vessels are in a separate fleet - under the "Victory Cruise Line" brand. The announcement was officially made by AQSC's CEO John Waggoner. The acquisition deal was closed in mid-January 2019. Transaction terms (and price) were not disclosed.

The vessel's propulsion system is diesel-electric (twin-screw) and designed by Brunvoll Volda AS (Volda Norway-based company specializing in marine propulsion, positioning and maneuvering systems). For the ULSTEIN CX103 project, Brunvoll contracted DMC (Damen Marine Components, Hardinxveld Giessendam Holland-based marine equipment manufacturer) to produce and supply the vessel's two rudders (model Van der Velden ATLANTIC) and two steering gear systems (model Van der Velden COMMANDER).

Six Myths About Plastic Pollution: Debunked 

BY:  Jessica McLean

The promise of plastics was a great one, but as the consequences of this convenience become clearer and clearer, so do the mistakes and misleading supposed solutions that have produced the ongoing plastic pollution crisis. We were told that recycling would solve this problem, and yet more and more plastic enters the world’s oceans every second.  So these broken promises leave us wondering: what is the truth about plastic? Dive in as we debunk six popular myths about plastic pollution.

SIX MYTHS ABOUT PLASTIC POLLUTION – AND THE FACTS

Myth #1: most plastic waste is recycled..

FACT: Unfortunately, most of the plastic we use is not recycled nor is it recyclable. In fact, only 9% of all the plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. Meanwhile, some is disposed of or lost in the recycling process, some is turned into lower-value products, a process called “downcycling.” Meanwhile, the remainder ends up in landfills, exported to countries with less-robust waste infrastructure, or incinerated. 

MYTH #2: Microplastics are only found in the ocean. 

FACT: Microplastics are found everywhere – floating in the oceans, consumed by marine life, in our food, and even in us! In fact, humans are estimated to ingest or inhale thousands of microplastics per day, at least.  

MYTH #3: That little recycling triangle and corresponding number means a piece of plastic is recyclable.

FACT: That icon doesn’t always indicate that an item is recyclable or made from recycled materials. Recyclability varies for each of the corresponding numbers and there’s no oversight for how the icon is actually used. 

MYTH #4: It is safe to toss “biobased” plastics in the ocean.

FACT: In fact, the labels like “bio-based plastic”, or “bioplastic” are not tightly regulated and create tons of confusion on how to properly dispose of them. Nearly all of these materials will persist in the ocean for a long time. 

MYTH #5: There is no good solution to replace single-use plastic bottles.

FACT: The solution already exists: refillable bottles. Refillable bottles have been around since the 19th century and were how most beverages were sold until the 70s when they were replaced by single-use plastic in many countries around the world. Where they still exist, refillable bottle programs have over a 90% success rate for getting the bottle back, and each bottle can be reused up to 50 times.  

MYTH #6: Plastic packaging and single-use plastic bottles are everywhere. The tide won’t change anytime soon.

FACT: The tide is changing! Places like Chile and the European Union have laws in place or soon to be in place that require retailers (including supermarkets) to offer a certain amount of beverages for sale in reusable packaging. And in countries like Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, and Germany, refillable bottles are already widely used. More pressure is needed to bring refillable bottles to all markets. 

THE PATH FORWARD

The reality is that plastic pollution is a crisis, plaguing our oceans and harming marine wildlife, coastal communities, and human health. But there’s a path forward to a cleaner, more sustainable future with less plastic. Oceana campaigns to tackle the plastic pollution crisis at that source – by calling on companies to provide plastic-free alternatives, and working to pass policies that reduce the production and use of unnecessary single-use plastics.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Whale breaches and lands on boat capsizing it sending fishermen flying

A humpback whale breached and slammed into a fishing boat, flipping it and throwing two boaters into the ocean and prompting a desperate mayday call.

The huge juvenile whale emerged from the ocean of the New Hampshire coast and its head landed at one end of the vessel, tipping it to the side and ultimately flipping it upside down.

Both fisherman aboard the small boat could be seen tumbling down into the water.

‘Oh my god,’ someone recording the video could be heard saying.

Radio calls immediately after the dramatic incident on Tuesday morning near Odiorne Point State Park revealed the panic of other boaters who watched it unfold before their eyes.

‘Mayday, mayday, flipped vessel, behind the tanker in front of Odeon, about three quarters of a mile. Two passengers safe on another vessel, boat sinking,’ an unknown person could be heard telling the US Coast Guard.

‘There were two people on board, they’re currently on another vessel, they’re still out here with us, everybody is safe. Pulled out onto the adjoining vessel.

‘Their boat was hit by the whale, capsized, they were thrown under the water. Boat is currently upside down sinking.’

A Coast Guard official could be heard repeating some of the details, including that it happened around 7.45am, and advising: ‘All vessels in the area are requested to keep a sharp lookout. Assist if possible.’

Both fishermen who were tossed from the vessel – Greg Paquette and Ryland Kenney – were not wearing life jackets, and managed to escape the situation unscathed.

The pair said they had spotted the giant marine animal earlier and were trying to stay away from it as they floated at the edge of a big school of fish.

‘When I turned, the whale’s head was already landing on the engine,’ Paquette told WMUR . ‘So when I saw that, then all of a sudden, I look down, the boat is pitching up, the transom is going down into the water.’

Kenney said ‘everything seemed like in slow motion’.

‘Everyone was like, “Oh, it was eight seconds. How’d you move so fast?” But it was almost slow motion, like a movie,’ he told the TV station.

Maine brothers Colin and Wyatt Yager also saw the whale and the former had his phone in his hand and recorded the incident.

Wyatt said: ‘I saw it come up, and I was just like, “Oh no, it’s going to hit the boat!” and then it started to flip.’

Coast Guard officials said the whale did not appear to be injured.

The capsized vessel was able to be salvaged.

It happened more than a year-and-a-half after a m ako shark jumped out of the water off the coast of Maine and onto a vessel with a group of fishermen.
