National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions
Built to handle deep swells and towering waves, the National Geographic Explorer lends herself to globe-spanning travel and a dedication to curiosity and wonder.
Originally constructed for service along Norway's coast as part of the famed Hurtigruten, or Coastal Express, she ferried passengers among the fjords of this iconic coast in conditions that could deteriorate into heavy seas in a matter of minutes. She had to be able to handle deep swells and towering waves-and have a high degree of maneuverability. Those traits, and an ideal size, made her a natural choice for addition to the Lindblad fleet.
