Purpose-built for polar navigation, National Geographic Endurance is designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore uncharted waters, while providing exceptional comfort. The patented X-bow ® is key to their design; its powerful wave-slicing action provides an extremely smooth ride even in adverse conditions, and even reduces spray on deck for superior observation. The ship carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities.

Highlights
The most advanced ice-class expedition ship afloat, offering unprecedented access to polar regions
- 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), National Geographic Endurance enables adventurous guests to go where few have or can. 
- Her 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. 
National Geographic Endurance's public spaces ensure that your time on board is as rewarding and enriching as your time on shore. Spaces include an observation lounge; library; main lounge with full service bar, 24-hour beverage station, and state-of-the art tech for films/presentations; an expedition base with lockers for expedition gear; and open access to the Bridge, Captain, officers, and on-duty wildlife spotters. Restaurant 270° features wrap-around views; two other dining areas offer lighter, made-to-order fare or intimate, small group dinners. All feature sustainable choices and unassigned, flexible, inclusive seating.
