Sister-ship to National Geographic Endurance launched in 2021, christened National Geographic Resolution. Lindblad's second new polar build, it as named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. Resolution’s most striking exterior feature is her distinctive profile, the patented X-Bow®, a game-changing design that guarantees the smoothest, most comfortable ride in all kinds of conditions; and since it eliminates bow impact, a quieter ride, as well.

Lindblad Expeditions launched a new polar expedition ship, National Geographic Endurance, in 2020. The ship’s Polar Class 5 rating allows for traveling polar environments during any time of the year, vastly enhancing Lindblad’s reach. This 126-guest expedition ship features a specially-designed bow that maximizes fuel efficiency so that it can operate extensively in remote destinations and is fitted with zero-speed stabilizers to ensure a comfortable voyage. 75% of its staterooms feature balconies and there are multiple points throughout the ship designed for optimal observation, plus an outdoor barbecue area.

National Geographic Orion set course for Europe following her Antarctic season in early 2016. These unique voyages travel to Portugal, Spain, France, England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, the Baltic Republics and Scandinavia. Onboard, Lindblad has staffed their ship with an extraordinary team from a diverse scope of expertise: special speakers will be drawn from the top tiers of journalism, science and world affairs as part of the “Global Perspectives Speakers” program, and each voyage will feature a National Geographic photographer.

On May 8, 2014, Lindblad’s National Geographic Explorer made history by being the first passenger vessel to call at the medieval port of Harlingen, in the Netherlands. Captain Ben Lyons was presented with a port of call placard to commemorate the first visit, and local news crews covered the event.
