National Geographic Endurance

A next-generation expedition ship, purpose-built for polar navigation. Fully stabilised, highly strengthened vessel designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore uncharted waters, while providing exceptional comfort.
The first new polar build in Lindblad’s 50-year history, National Geographic Endurance is named to honor explorer Ernest Shackleton and his legendary Transantarctic Expedition. A fully stabilized vessel of the highest ice class (PC5 Category A), she enables adventurous guests to go where few have or can.

National Geographic Endurance’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. An equally impressive feature may well be her capacity: she carries just 138 guests, a commitment to expedition excellence and a deeper personal experience.
