About the Ship

Name

National Geographic Resolution

Operator

National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions

The sister ship to National Geographic Endurance, she explores polar & temperate regions

Our second new polar build, National Geographic Resolution, is named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. A fully-stabilized vessel of the highest ice class (PC5 Category A), she will enableadventurous guests to go where few have or can. 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.
