National Geographic Resolution is a next-generation expedition ship, purpose-built for polar navigation. A twin to the first polar newbuild, National Geographic Endurance, she is a fully stabilized, highly strengthened, ice-class Polar Class 5 (PC5) vessel, it is designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore uncharted waters, while providing exceptional comfort. Its patented X-BOW® is key to its design; its powerful wave-slicing action provides an extremely smooth ride in even adverse conditions, and even reduces spray on deck, for superior observation. She carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities.
Restaurant 270º on the Main Deck features wrap-around views and provides a window on vital expedition team members: This dining area like all others aboard the ships features sustainable choices, local where possible, and unassigned, flexible, inclusive seating.
The Ship's second restaurant Tupaia's - offers early riser breakfast, light fare for lunch, and a 24-hour hot beverages station.
Bistro.
The Lounge Deck’s Ice Lounge, with its signature Lindblad Circle of Truth at the center, is where the daily ritual of Recap convening, sharing knowledge and anticipating tomorrow takes place over cocktails and canapes, with engaging presentations or undersea videos lighting the screens. It’s also home to the Photo Studio, where all guests can rent B&H gear, with our compliments.
National Geographic Resolution provides a ‘lab’ for researchers needing to stretch grant dollars to get to key sites and do their vital work. Guests gain a front-row seat on ongoing science and connect with interesting researchers.
The Fitness Studio features state-of-the-art equipment, including free weights, weighted balls, kettle balls, treadmills, and ellipticals.
Reception.
As its name suggests, the Expedition Deck is home to the equipment and amenities needed for exploration off the ship. The spacious Basecamp offers warm, ‘welcome home’ storage for your expedition gear; Zodiacs and kayaks are stored in the Garage; and the newly-designed loading bays allow our fleet of Zodiacs to be deployed quickly—ultimately maximizing your time ashore.
Gym.
Spa.
Originally intended as solarizing units for the adjacent infinity hot tubs, the igloos quickly became such an acclaimed feature that guests can now book an overnight stay (on a first-come, first-served basis). It is a one-of-a-kind experience to lie on a superb mattress under the froth of a cozy duvet, warmed by twin hot-water bottles in the traditional Scandinavian way, as you gaze out at impossible polar beauty, or up at never-before-seen polar stars.
Enjoy massages, facials, and other wellness treatments in the two massage rooms during days at sea.
