National Geographic Orion
Featuring 53 cabins, the gracious and intimate National Geographic Orion takes travelers to little-known waters and islands in the South Pacific, Antarctica, and the Mediterranean, allowing them to experience each location's natural and cultural wonders up close. With her high ice-class rating, National Geographic Orion is strong enough to explore the polar regions, yet her enhanced maneuverability allows her to navigate practically anywhere accessible by sea. At the helm of National Geographic Orion is an expert crew, capable of handling intricate operations that large cruise ships could never attempt. The ship is equipped with modern navigational tools and technology that enable her to navigate safely, even in uncharted waters. She currently holds the distinction of having sailed farther south than any other vessel in the National Geographic-Lindblad fleet.
