Discover the National Geographic Explorer

Originally crafted for Norway’s famed Coastal Express, the National Geographic Explorer has a rich history of navigating challenging seas along Norway’s coast. Her manoeuvrability and sturdy construction made her an ideal choice for expedition cruising, with a size that allows access to remote locations while offering a comfortable and well-appointed base for adventurous travellers.

The ship has been meticulously rebuilt, paying homage to 50 years of pioneering expeditions. She was outfitted with an ice-strengthened hull and state-of-the-art navigation equipment, making her a capable and confident vessel with raft of specialised tools to further enhance her exploration capabilities. The interior design philosophy of the Lindblad fleet shines through in the ship’s well-appointed spaces, where vast expanses of glass create an unprecedented connection to the breathtaking environments she sails through, embodying the perfect balance between the raw beauty of nature and the refined comforts of modern expedition cruising.

From her Welcoming Bridge to the cosy Chart Room and the captivating Observation deck, every space tells a story of exploration and adventure. Adorned with artwork celebrating historic expeditions, the ship is a moving gallery of curiosity and wonder, offering a unique and immersive experience for guests seeking the privilege of wildness and the luxury of comfort.
