Lindblad Expeditions : National Geographic Explorer
National Geographic Explorer is the world’s ultimate expedition ship. Her design and equipment is the result of almost 200 years of collective expedition experience. Originally built for service along Norway’s coast as part of the famed Hurtigruten, or Coastal Express, her excellent maneuverability and just-right size made her a natural choice for addition to the fleet. Drawing on nearly 50 years of pioneering expedition history and expertise, the cruise completely redesigned and rebuilt her. Explorer is uniquely equipped with an ice-strengthened hull and advanced navigation equipment for polar expeditions; a roster of tools for exploration; and a well-appointed interior with vast expanses of glass for an unprecedented connection to the regions that explores. She provides a peerless expedition cruise trip.

Ship Highlights:

  • All accommodations are outside, and most cabins feature oversized picture windows that connects with the passing views
  • While seating in a Lounge enjoy the good views and multiple plasma screens
  • The bistro bar is a perfect spot to have a cappuccino before or after activities
  • Public Spaces such as Fitness Center, Wellness Center, Mudroom etc
Dining 
Dining is an integral part of expedition experience, with influences and flavors that reflect the regions exploring, along with traditional fare. All food prepared aboard is sourced locally whenever possible from sustainable providers. All seafood served is sustainably caught or raised.

Lindblad Expeditions : National Geographic Explorer

All of the public spaces offer expansive windows and instant access to the outside decks. The handsomely-designed library invites you to curl up with a good book or go deeper into a new topic that interests you. Each evening at cocktail hour, the Expedition Leader convenes everyone in the lounge for recap, a hallmark of Lindblad's unique expedition style.
