Ocean Advice, a member of the United Waterways Group, has taken over the nautical and technical management of the expedition cruise vessel Seaventure.
Seaventure, owned by Chinese cruise line 66° Expeditions, offers polar voyages to both international and the Chinese market. Previously known as Seascape, Bremen and SeaQuest, the ship underwent a fresh refurbishment early in 2025. Its itineraries include voyages to Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard and Antarctica.
The move enables Ocean Advice and United Waterways Group to expand its presence in the expedition and Asian cruise markets. The group currently operates three ships in the white label sector for Asian customers.
“We are delighted that our experienced management team will be operating the Seaventure and that we will be able to to expand on the Asian market whose cultures and ways of travel we are fully committed to support,” said Oliver Sassen, CEO of Ocean Advice.
United Waterways plans to launch another expedition cruise ship and a coastal cruiser by 2028, growing its presence in the ocean cruise sector.
“This is a huge step forward for us and we are proud that we are able to support the ‘66° Expeditions’ brand with our infrastructure, logistics and all other benefits that come with economy of scale,” said Sascha Gill, CEO of United Waterways.
