Travelling in Svalbard is a kind of lottery—one rarely knows what will be behind the next corner. It might be a stunning view or a bucket-list wildlife sighting, a walrus, an Arctic fox or maybe even a distant polar bear. The unpredictability creates a true expedition spirit, which makes Svalbard so exciting for both firsttime visitors and seasoned guides like me.

THE POLAR FLEET

BUILT FOR AWE The powerful ships in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions polar fleet bring you directly—and safely—into the heart of the Arctic’s icy wilds. Each small, nimble vessel was designed to deliver the finest in polar exploration and is helmed by a veteran “ice master” captain who has extensive experience navigating polar waters. This fusion of advanced technology and unrivaled expertise allows National GeographicLindblad Expeditions to stay flexible, go farther and deliver some of the most ambitious itineraries available at the top of the globe.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDURANCE & NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC RESOLUTION Embodying 60 years of polar experience, the 138-passenger National Geographic Endurance and her sister ship, National Geographic Resolution, are in a class of their own. These highest ice-class vessels can navigate polar passages year-round and safely explore uncharted waters, and the wave-slicing technology of their patented X-bows® ensures the smoothest ride possible. Sleek Scandinavian design and special amenities— including infinity hot tubs, fire pits and saunas—deliver a supremely comfortable onboard experience.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER With a storied history working in Norway’s famed Coastal Express, the 148-passenger flagship National Geographic Explorer was completely rebuilt to sail the poles. With an ice-strengthened hull, well-appointed shared spaces and a dynamic suite of exploration features—including an interactive chart room, a high observation lounge and a low-profile bow with dramatic views—this extraordinary ship is devoted to discovery, every detail revealing a dedication to curiosity and wonder.
