Timeline

Dated events for this ship from every source Voydar holds, newest first. Each line names its source; derived items say how they were derived.

Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.

Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

About EXPEDITION

MV Ocean Adventurer is an ice-capable expedition cruise ship operating commercial voyages to both polar regions, with Terra Nova Expeditions and formerly with Quark Expeditions of Seattle, Washington, United States. The vessel was previously been registered as Clipper Adventurer, and was renamed as Sea Adventurer on 1 October 2012. She is the sister ship to Lyubov Orlova. Built in 1975 in the former Yugoslavia as Alla Tarasova, she underwent a $13 million refit in 1998 managed by Master Mariner AB, Sweden. During the summer of 2009 Adventure Canada of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada carried passengers through the Northwest Passage on Clipper Adventurer. On 27 August 2010, Clipper Adventurer ran aground on a supposedly uncharted rock in the waters of Nunavut's Coronation Gulf during a cruise.
