Lindblad Expeditions

National Geographic Resolution is a fully stabilised, next-generation expedition ship, purpose-built for year-round polar navigation.

The Polar Class 5 National Geographic Resolution will feature Ulstein’s signature X-BOW®, that provides fuel efficiency while significantly improving guest comfort in rough seas; and a very high ice class for access deep into Polar Regions. 

She will provide an extremely smooth ride in adverse conditions, and even reduces spray on deck, for superior observation, while you’re soaking up the views while sipping on your morning coffee.

She carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities, such as kayaks, underwater cameras, a hydrophone, electronic charts, and an open bridge.

Get excited, because National Geographic Resolution is scheduled for delivery in 2021.
