Wonders of the Western Pacific: Orangutans, Sun Bears, and the Coral Triangle
Sail through the Coral Triangle to discover remarkable biodiversity above and below the sea. Learn about conservation challenges and triumphs in the mangroves of Vietnam’s Con Dao National Park and observe orangutans and sun bears in Malaysian Borneo. Snorkel and dive healthy reefs, and swim in a lake filled with harmless jellyfish in Palau.

The sister ship to National Geographic Endurance, she explores polar & temperate regions
One of two new ships expressly built for polar waters, National Geographic Resolution is named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. A fully-stabilized vessel with ice class PC5, Category A, she will enable adventurous guests to go where few have or can. National Geographic Resolution’s 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.
