Overview

National Geographic Resolution

Lindblad Expeditions welcomed a new ship to its fleet in 2021. National Geographic Resolution is the sister ship to National Geographic Endurance, ready to explore polar and temperate regions.

The second polar build was christened in Antarctica on November 22, 2021. Her name honors the second voyage of the iconic Captain James Cook, who was the first to circumnavigate Antarctica and whose favorite vessel was named MS Resolution.

The vessel is ready to conquer the most incredible ice adventures as it is of PC5 Category A, the highest ice class. National Geographic Resolution boasts the patented X-Bow exterior design. It guarantees the smoothest, quieter, and most comfortable ride in rough seas and all conditions.

The ship uses the cleanest marine fuels found in every distant area of her operation. Also, National Geographic Resolution has engines exceeding the strictest emissions control standards that do not need hazardous chemical exhaust after treatment.

Inaugural Sailing

The stunning National Geographic Resolution began her inaugural polar sailing on November 17, 2021. Her first voyage was to the Falklands, Antarctica, and South Georgia.

After spending a season in Antarctica, the vessel planned to sail in Europe, letting guests see France, Portugal, Norway, and Scotland, then visit the Arctic, return to Antarctica through the East China Sea and Japan, and voyage to the Pacific Islands.

For the 2022/2023 season, Lindblad Expeditions added 4 Antarctica departures, all set for the early season October/November, aboard the 126-guest polar expedition ship. Seeing the ice-filled ocean, exploring the beautiful landscapes, hiking, skiing in the most breathtaking surroundings, and observing the courtship rituals of penguins is all possible on National Geographic Resolution.
