National Geographic Resolution

Resolution’s two onboard helicopters expand operational reach beyond anything a Zodiac-only expedition ship can offer — aerial wildlife surveys, remote landing sites inaccessible by sea, and overflights of polar landscapes that most Antarctic travelers never experience. Identical program to Endurance, delivering the same access advantage on every PC5-routed voyage.

Resolution’s Zodiac fleet launches daily in most conditions — bringing guests to Antarctic shore sites, wildlife colonies, and ice formations the main ship can’t access. The program mirrors Endurance’s, with the same tight operational tempo and expert-led shore programming that maximizes time on ice and minimizes wait in the water.

Every Endurance voyage includes a certified National Geographic photographer and a photo instructor with access to Lindblad’s NatGeo photography resources. From wildlife timing to low-light polar technique, the program gives guests practical skills to document the expedition the way NatGeo would — and the results show.

Endurance’s Science Hub is an active research facility where guest-accessible citizen science programming runs throughout every voyage. Equipped with analytical tools, specimen collections, and specialist oversight, it’s where Lindblad’s commitment to genuine scientific contribution becomes tangible rather than decorative.

The Ice Lounge is Endurance’s signature social space — a forward-facing observation lounge with panoramic glass walls and a design that keeps Antarctica in view from almost every seat. Expedition briefings, post-landing recaps, and the informal conversations between specialists and guests that define the Lindblad experience all happen here.

C-Greens is Endurance’s main restaurant, serving three meals daily with menus that draw on global cuisines and fresh ingredients. The dining program is consistently rated a standout by Lindblad guests — genuinely better than the expedition ship norm, and a welcome backdrop for the kind of conversation that tends to happen after a full day on the ice.

Lindblad’s undersea specialist program deploys video cameras, remotely operated equipment, and specialist divers (on qualifying voyages) to document the marine world beneath the expedition route. Live footage is broadcast to screens throughout the ship in real time, allowing every guest to observe what the undersea team is encountering below the Zodiac landing sites. The program reflects Lindblad’s National Geographic partnership — a commitment to scientific documentation as an inherent part of the expedition experience rather than an optional add-on.

The most compact solo option on Resolution — dedicated, private, and efficiently designed for single travelers at the best-value price point in the fleet.

A dedicated solo cabin — no single supplement, no shared berth. Solo A is the more comfortable of Resolution’s two solo options, with full access to the expedition program for single travelers.

The most compact standard cabin on Resolution — bunk-style, designed for efficiency and maximum value. For guests who want the expedition experience and NatGeo program at the most accessible price point, Category 7 is the entry door.

Similar footprint to Category 5, with thoughtful design that maximizes usable space for two. The right choice for guests prioritizing expedition quality over cabin size — on Resolution, the cabin is genuinely the least interesting part of the trip.

A comfortable, functional expedition cabin for travelers who spend their days on deck and in the field. Designed for efficiency — and on a 126-guest ship with this expedition program, that’s a defensible priority call.

A well-appointed standard cabin with everything needed for a comfortable expedition voyage. No balcony, but the Lindblad program is identical across all categories — the naturalists, shore excursions, and NatGeo photography access don’t change by cabin tier.

A balcony cabin with private outdoor access, a more generous footprint than the lower categories, and the full expedition program regardless of what you’re watching from your balcony. A strong value proposition for guests who want outdoor cabin access without the full suite commitment.

A premium suite with private veranda and well-defined living space. Category 2 is the most sought-after tier for guests who want suite-level comfort without the full investment of Category 1 — a significant step up and worth comparing carefully before booking.

Resolution’s most expansive cabin category — a generous suite with a private veranda, distinct living area, and premium appointments throughout. Identical in design to Endurance’s Category 1. The full Lindblad naturalist program applies equally here, but the cabin is genuinely worth the category jump for guests on longer itineraries.
