National Geographic Endurance

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.

Guests explore Antarctica's icy wonderland by zodiac from the ship National Geographic Endurance.
