Welcome on board Luxury Polar Expedition Ship, National Geographic Endurance / Lindblad Expeditions

Have you ever wondered what a purpose built polar expedition ship actually looks like? This is National Geographic Endurance from Lindblad Expeditions. And she is not just designed to visit the polar regions, she is built for them. She has one of the highest ice class ratings for a passenger ship, meaning she can safely navigate deep into icy waters in both Antarctica and the Arctic. But this is not roughing it. On board you will find beautiful panoramic lounges for wildlife spotting, a marina platform for Zodiac launches, a proper expedition team of naturalists and photographers, and even outdoor igloos where you can sleep under the polar sky. There is a spa, a gym, cosy cabins and incredible viewing decks, because on an expedition like this, the scenery is the main event. It is intimate, carrying just around 126 guests, which means landings feel personal and immersive. If you love wildlife, photography and proper adventure, this is a completely different style of cruising. Would you choose ultra luxury relaxation, or full polar exploration?
