A TRULY GLOBAL SHIP With walls of glass framing jaw-dropping landscapes from icy fjords to palmlined atolls and iconic European harbors, National Geographic Resolution is a destination in her own right. She capably and gracefully explores polar regions with stable ice-cutting power, and with outstanding adaptability, uses that same power to navigate between temperate destinations faster.

More time in each compelling locale allows richer experiences both on land and in extraordinary marine environments. From Japan and the East China Sea across the South Pacific to Easter Island, National Geographic Resolution will visit some of the world’s most off-the-beaten-path isles, reaching secluded, dreamed-of destinations with ease and comfort. Her speed and efficiency will serve Europe brilliantly as well, nimbly navigating diverse geographies by ship in the time-honored way—freed from the hassles of airports, rail stations, and large ports. Unpack just once and have the world outside your door. Carrying just 126 guests, and with exceptional design, amenities, and capabilities, National Geographic Resolution is the state-of-the-art realization of our decades of expedition experience, and truly a global ship.

Clockwise from far left: The medieval walled city of Saint-Malo, France is known for its explorers and privateers including Jacques Cartier and Antoine de Bougainville; flower leis are held on the arm of a Polynesian woman in the Gambier Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago; Krenitsyn volcano on Onekotan island, Kuril Islands, Russia; the beautiful Dynjandi waterfall deep in the remote Westfjords of Iceland; polar bear on pack ice in Svalbard, Norway.

Unabashedly beautiful and luxuriously appointed, National Geographic Resolution’s interiors are superlative from a design and hospitality perspective. They uphold our traditions: making community (the Lounge) and insight (the ‘Circle of Truth’ podium) the center of expedition life.

FIRE & ICE ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR SHIP Sleek and powerful on the outside, National Geographic Resolution is quietly luxe in the best Scandinavian design tradition on the inside. From the streamlined modernism of her welcoming Reception and the distinctive style of her elevators and staircase, to the cossetting comfort of her public and private spaces, National Geographic Resolution’s demeanor is gracious dedication to your ease. With a total of six guest decks, the ship has over 10,000 square feet of glass to frame the spectacular scenery she transits—keeping you constantly connected to the view, while her considered décor and amenities, as you’ll see, keep you, and just 125 fellow guests, spaciously and contentedly contained.

Clockwise from far left: Shift in Lounge design, but the Circle of Truth remains at the heart of it and Recap is the main event; National Geographic Explorer was the first ship to transport scientists and researchers to bridge the ‘grant gap,’ now there’s a locus for them to work aboard and for guests to observe science in action; different library design, same reverence for books on all topics; the Den serves as a warm, inviting nook to catch up on that novel during days at sea, or to enjoy a nightcap.

To the extent our company has a mantra, it’s the “tonic of wildness.” We believe, as Henry David Thoreau did, in the healing power of wild places for the human spirit.

YOUR WELLNESS SANCTUARY Exploration history is fraught with stories of hardship, deprivation, and struggle. In juxtaposition to what’s gone before, National Geographic Resolution offers a bastion of wellness. The Sanctuary takes a page out of Roald Amundsen’s playbook (the sole explorer who made the race to the South Pole look athletic, graceful, more exhilarating than debilitating).

It offers you the self-care options, and inspiration, to take yours to the next level. Discover spa treatments and therapies. Saunas, from high heat to milder to entertain you with stunning views. A panoply of training options in the gym. Enjoy spectacular daytime views in the gorgeous yoga studio or view the sky in an overnight stay in our igloos.

Clockwise from far left: an expansive studio, with a curving wall of glass creates a spectacularly serene place for yoga and stretch sessions; the gym is fully equipped for fitness with weights, cardio and mobility equipment plus vitalizing views; twin saunas, one for adepts at a classic temperature, the other less hot for cooler types, boast glass walls for soaking in milliondollar views; twin plunge pools and innovative glass igloos allow you to take in nature any time.

Our hotel team provides superlative personalized service and care on all of our ships, but to be able to operate in this caliber of physical space, to offer a new level of dining and amenities is incredibly exciting for us. We have involved our hotel teams across the fleet and solicited valuable input from our guests to create incredibly comfortable and considered spaces for the places we explore. We can truly meet and exceed every expectation on National Geographic Resolution.

TASTE: ANOTHER WINDOW ON THE WORLD Restaurant 270º features wrap-around views and provides a window on vital expedition team members—our galley staff as they prepare your meals. Tupaia’s, named after the great Polynesian navigator, offers an early riser breakfast as well as lighter, made-to-order fare for intimate, small group lunches. Both dining areas feature sustainable choices, local where possible, and unassigned, flexible, inclusive seating. Plus—over the course of each voyage, all guests aboard will be hosted by our Chef at the Chef’s Table, an innovative approach to private dining. Intimate and interactive, each dinner features regionally inspired and inventive food. In addition, daily high tea, hors d’oeuvres at Recap, and BBQs in the Winter Garden (not shown) for al fresco dining in complete comfort, promise ‘anything but deprivation’ during our National Geographic Resolution expeditions.

Clockwise from far left: Restaurant 270º; Tupaia’s restaurant, featuring lighter fare for breakfast and lunch; experience innovative private dining at the Chef’s Table; inventive and sustainably-sourced dishes are one of the highlights.

THE LUXURY OF COMFORT Elegantly imagined, with a sense of limitless space effortlessly incorporated into the design, the 13 cossetting, extra large balcony suites (at left) impart a feeling of serenity. Warm creams, oatmeal and coral, soft textures, round corners, art that invites the eye to linger and our signature feather duvets, plus a walk-in closet and roomy stoneclad baths make each suite a haven (and a refuge from the poles’ midnight sun, thanks to dark-out shades). Fullheight windows and furnished balconies bring the scenery to you. And in the 56 standard cabins, azure accents meet polar vistas at the windows for a feeling of expansive yet cozy space. Of the 56 standard cabins, 40 feature a balcony (including the 12 solo cabins). All of the 69 total cabins feature a Command Center, and either a comfortable sofa or reading chair.

Clockwise from far left: Grandly proportioned suites feature a privacy wall, with TVs on each side to screen from bed and from the sitting area, while admitting gorgeous light. The roomy balcony is furnished with seating and a hammock for basking on sunny days; cabin categories 3, 4, and 5 feature a three-seat sofa that converts to a double bed and a spacious private balcony; sleek stone-clad suite bathroom features tub, rain shower, heated towel rack; Command Center in all suites and cabins feature an National Geographic Atlas, barometer, analog clock, digital tablet with daily programming & a generous array of USB and universal electrical ports for cameras and devices, plus a retractable lighted vanity mirror.

incomparable regions with National Geographic photographers aboard every departure. These photographers, many with significant careers to their credit, have enabled countless photographers of all skill levels to take their best photos ever—but more importantly, to advance their storytelling skills to effectively tell their personal expedition story. And these pros are flanked by a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor, skilled naturalists trained to assist you with camera settings, the basics of composition, the how-tos of wildlife observation, and more, to equip beginners with new skills.

EXCLUSIVE ONBOARD GEAR LOCKER Our partnership with acclaimed retailer B&H Photo Video enables us to offer our guests the opportunity to field test the best new lenses from Sigma, camera bodies from Canon, mirrorless cameras from Olympus and Sony and more during their expedition. Yearning to try some big glass? Looking to research a new camera purchase? Excited to aim binoculars with Swarovski optics on exhilarating subjects? Once aboard, listen for announcements that B&H Gear Locker is opening—and dive in with our compliments. Take advantage of our exclusive booked guest B&H discounts pre-trip, too. Ask an Expedition Specialist, or visit expeditions.com/BHPHOTO.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHERS The photo ops are endless and varied. The light, angles and compositions shift dynamically, how to best take advantage of it all?

Luckily, there’s a National Geographic photographer at your side and at your service to help you develop your skills. And since our certified photo instructors are naturalists as well, you’ll learn about wildlife behavior at every photo op.

Some of the National Geographic photographers joining us in 2022 include: Ralph Lee Hopkins, Nick Cobbing, Karen Kasmauski, Sisse Brimberg, Evgenia Arbugaeva, Erika Larsen, David Wright, Camille Seaman, Kiliii Yuyan, Dan Westergren, Tommy Heinrich, Alison Wright, and Jim Richardson.

ANTARCTICA SOUTH GEORGIA & THE FALKLANDS Navigating around the colossal, incandescent ice forms that dwarf our Zodiacs and kayaks, and the sheer scope of the White Continent and its sheets of pristine white ice stretching as far as the eye can see will humble even the most intrepid of explorers. To the vast colonies of penguins—numbering in the tens of thousands on South Georgia Island alone— add majestic whales, leopard and elephant seals, and the Falklands’ remarkable gathering of 70 percent of the world’s albatrosses. Experience all the splendor of this region, expedition-style.

EUROPE From the North Sea to the Mediterranean and from Orkney to the Iberian Peninsula, our expeditions deliver special experiences in iconic destinations. History is brought to vivid life at legendary sights of antiquity like Scotland’s Neolithic Skara Brae and Cartagena’s Roman ruins.

Architectural wonders include the legendary palace of the Alhambra, Santiago de Compostela’s medieval cathedral, glorious Mont-Saint-Michel, and the billowing metal façade of the Guggenheim Bilbao.

Sail through Norway’s dramatic fjords, taste whisky on Skye and port in Porto, walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago in Galicia, and learn how to make pintxos in Basque Country.

Marvel at the turquoise waters and sandy beaches of Tresco Island off the coast of England and walk in Monet’s footsteps on picturesque Belle-Île-en-Mer. Diminutive Shetland ponies can be seen in their natural habitat and minke whales, porpoises, and other marine animals often show themselves at sea. But it’s pelagic birds that most often appear, sometimes in enormous numbers as in the tens of thousands of gannets, guillemots, fulmars, puffins, and kittiwakes that nest on the seabird skyscraper of Noss Island.

ARCTIC, ICELAND & RUSSIAN FAR EAST The sheer visual splendor of the Arctic is astounding, from Greenland’s stunning Ilulissat Icefjord, where massive icebergs soar upwards of 300 feet, to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Iceland and the Kuril Islands. The wildlife we encounter is just as incredible.

Two of the best places on Earth to observe the king of Arctic wildlife, the polar bear, are Svalbard and Wrangel Island. Don’t forget arctic foxes, reindeer, and musk ox; and in the icy seas we cross, beluga, bowhead, sperm, and gray whales; plus walruses, ringed seals, and perhaps even the elusive narwhal. The dramatic sea cliffs of the Faroe Islands alive with thousands of nesting puffins, and avian species like the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, enormous Steller’s sea eagle, and sacred red-crowned crane can be spotted in the Russian Far East. The peoples of these distant coastlines have histories, cultures, and languages not widely known in the world. We’ll meet Chukchi and Yupik villagers, Koryak reindeer herders, and Ainu in the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido.

THE SANCTUARY

SELF-DISINFECTING SHIPS: Lindblad Expeditions became the first selfdisinfecting fleet with the rollout of the ACT CleanCoat™ system in 2019.

This photocatalytic cleaning process activates when illuminated, continuously breaking down unwanted microbes such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and airborne allergens. The positive environmental impacts of this nontoxic, chemical-free system are many: less plastic in the supply chain and waste stream, and more than one million gallons of water saved annually.

The system lowers our carbon footprint and creates a cleaner, healthier shipboard environment for guests and crew alike.
