National Geographic Resolution is a purpose-built polar expedition ship designed for remote-region exploration. The 138-guest vessel carries a substantial expedition team and features Polar Class 5, Category A ice capability, full stabilization, and Ulstein’s X-BOW design. Its intimate scale, outside-facing accommodations, expedition equipment, and access to the Bridge support a travel style centered on wildlife, landscapes, and interpretation rather than conventional resort cruising.
The ship is Polar Class 5, Category A and uses Ulstein’s X-BOW design for improved comfort in rough seas. Expedition equipment includes Zodiac landing craft, kayaks, snowshoes, cross-country skis, and specialized underwater-viewing equipment.
The ship provides expedition equipment and guided activities suitable for active travelers, including kayaking, shore landings, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. No dedicated children’s facilities were confirmed in the reviewed sources.
Wellness facilities include a gym, yoga studio, spa, ocean-view saunas, and infinity-style outdoor hot tubs.
The vessel was designed with fuel-efficiency features including the X-BOW, expanded fuel and water capacity for remote operations, and a CleanDesign classification notation. Lindblad also describes sustainable dining choices onboard.
