BUILT FOR AWE
The powerful ships in the National GeographicLindblad Expeditions polar fleet bring you directly— and safely—into the heart of the Arctic’s icy wilds. Each small, nimble vessel was designed to deliver the finest in polar exploration and is helmed by a veteran “ice master” captain who possesses extensive experience navigating polar waters.

Informed by more than 55+ years of polar experience, the 138-passenger National Geographic Endurance and her sister ship, National Geographic Resolution, are in a class of their own. These highest ice-class vessels can navigate polar passages year-round and safely explore uncharted waters, and the wave-slicing technology of their patented X-Bows® ensures the smoothest ride possible.

LIFE ON BOARD
Each ship in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet is a destination in its own right, featuring superior amenities and engaging experiences to ensure that your time on board is equally rewarding as your time on shore—from exquisite culinary delights to soothing spa treatments, performances from local musicians and more.
SAVOUR THE FLAVOURS OF YOUR DESTINATION
Sampling local cuisine is a highlight of any voyage, and the culinary team takes great care to bring Arctic flavours to the meals you enjoy on board. Executive chefs design unique menus that prominently feature sustainably sourced seafood and produce from the places you visit, as well as wine pairings and guided tastings to enhance your experience.
Special onshore activities—like a mussels tasting on Cape Breton and an in-depth exploration of Iceland’s once-thriving herring fisheries— invite guests to forge deep connections with local culinary traditions.
WELLNESS AT SEA
Greet the day with a sunrise yoga session or unwind in the spa with a massage, serenaded by the sound of soothing waves. Dedicated wellness spaces—including treatment rooms, saunas, fitness centers and more— encourage you to tap into the natural rhythms of your surroundings. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs, and each of the fleet’s fully accredited wellness specialists is also a licensed massage therapist.
SOUNDS OF THE FAR NORTH
Whether it’s a soulful Icelandic folk song or a cheerful Newfoundland sea shanty, music offers a window into the identity of our northerly destinations. Ethnomusicologist Jacob Edgar curates musical experiences aboard the ships, bringing melodies that echo your ports of call. For select voyages, he has assembled a lineup of performances featuring local musicians whose songs bring the traditions of the far north to life.
“ Travelling in Svalbard is a kind of “lottery”—one rarely knows what will be behind the next corner. It might be a stunning view or a bucket-list animal, like walruses, an Arctic fox or maybe even a distant polar bear. The unpredictability creates a true expedition spirit, which makes Svalbard so exciting for both first-time visitors and seasoned guides like me.”
—KERSTIN LANGENBERGER, NATURALIST
SVALBARD & NORWAY
WITNESS THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE FAR NORTH
Few places showcase the drama of their creation like Norway, where a maze of rock and water cuts the coastline from tip to tail. Sail the country’s iconic fjords, or set your sights on Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago framed by snowy peaks and ice-checkered waters. On this icy frontier, polar bears outnumber people, and multiple types of whales are regularly spotted offshore.
For the Scenery Seeker: From the waterfall-laced fjords of the mainland to the snowscapes of Svalbard, Norway has some of the most stunning scenery in the far north.
For the Wildlife Lover: Svalbard’s snowy shores are as wild as the Serengeti. Set out on an Arctic safari to spot polar bears prowling the ice, walruses hauled out on shore and reindeer prancing across tundra.
For the Active Traveller: Kayak amid sparkling icebergs and soaring fjords, and hike sweeping glacial valleys and jagged granite peaks.
For the Photographer: With epic wildlife, stunning landscapes and endless light from the midnight sun, this is a dream destination for photographers. A National Geographic photographer joins every voyage to help you bring home your best photos.
When to Go: April–June
In spring, Svalbard is covered in ice and snow and bathed in astonishing light. The landscapes come alive in the summer, the best season for wildlife watching.

PHOTOGRAPHING SVALBARD WITH NICK COBBING
Drawn to the breathtaking Arctic landscapes, National Geographic Photographer Nick Cobbing has travelled to Svalbard nearly every summer since his first visit in 2005—often as an expert for National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyages. Here, he explores the photographic allure of this remote, high Arctic archipelago.
Taking photographs is an important part of the expedition experience because it helps you understand the landscape. What makes Svalbard an inspiring place for a photographer is the diversity. Ice and snow, glaciers, a very powerful ocean—there’s a lot to capture here.
With the Zodiacs, we can go ashore to photograph the tundra’s grasses, lichen and mosses. There’s also the beautiful purple saxifrage flower—a signature of Svalbard—that puts colour into pictures.
Some subjects from my favourite images: Svalbard reindeer, which aren’t found anywhere else. Sometimes an Arctic fox might be curious about us. There is also abundant birdlife: kittiwakes, eider ducks and Arctic terns—beautiful birds that come here to feed and forage in the summer.
The glaciers and snow influence the light because they reflect it back up so that there’s light coming out of the ocean and darker spaces in between. It creates a whole palette that we can incorporate into our photography.
“
Much of Iceland remains untouched by humans, and that’s our greatest treasure. With National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, we get to enjoy it in a way that minimises the footprint while maximising the experience.”
—STEFAN THORGEIRSSON, CULTURAL SPECIALIST
ICELAND & THE FAROE ISLANDS
RICH CULTURES AND VOLCANIC LANDSCAPES
Iceland showcases the drama of our living Earth like nowhere else. In this land of geological treasures, the brightest gems are hidden in remote corners, where waterfalls flow through mossy canyons, glaciers tumble from mountaintops and fjords carve paths from the sea to timeless fishing villages. Let the Viking spirit guide you from these surreal shores to the Faroe Islands, where turf-roofed cottages and archaeology bring the legends of ancient seafarers to life.
For the Geologist: Located atop a geothermal hotspot and at the meeting point of two tectonic plates, Iceland’s landscapes were born of geological upheaval— you’ll see volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, lava fields and much more.
For the Culture Enthusiast: On remote shores, delve into rich Icelandic traditions, like eiderdown harvesting and herring fishing.
For the Wildlife Lover: Sea cliffs and shorelines are aflutter with a multitude of seabird species: kittiwakes, shearwaters, gannets and colourful puffins. Humpbacks, orcas and several other cetaceans swim offshore.
For the Active Traveller: There are a multitude of ways to interact with Iceland’s elemental landscapes, from hiking to waterfalls and volcanic craters to mountain biking into the backcountry and strolling black-sand beaches.
For the Young Explorer: Every Icelandic itinerary features the exclusive National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program for kids and teens 18 and under.
