Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. took delivery of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDURANCE in March from Ulstein Verft, marking the official completion of the line’s first polar new build. Two years in the making the state-of-the-art 126-guest ship has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS as the ultimate expedition platform with a focus on safety and comfort.

While we are all social distancing at home, the team on board NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDURANCE have been prepping and polishing every inch of the ship’s gleaming new surfaces so when guests can finally explore on her this remarkable ship will exceed their every expectation. So today, I would like to share with you a sneak peak of this remarkable ship led by Captain Aaron Wood and members of his team —from the Bridge and the Observation Lounge to cabins and suites, to new features like the glass-walled yoga studio, infinity Jacuzzis and the first igloos at sea.
