Ship history
US-based SunStone Ships has ordered a series of X-BOW® expedition cruise vessels for construction at the CMHI yard in China.
The 'Ocean Victory' is vessel number three in the INFINITY series of expedition cruise vessels. Although a sister vessel to number one in the series, 'Greg Mortimer', the 'Ocean Victory' differs in several ways, reflecting the flexibility of the design series. The 'Ocean Victory' has 93 staterooms, all with ocean view and 90 per cent with their own balcony, and an infinity pool has been installed. Two observation platforms have replaced the bridge wings. Onboard are several restaurants, a wellness area, an Albatros Nordic Bar, an open deck dining facility, a modern lecture lounge, and other amenities.
