Our Favorite Expedition Ships

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic combine forces on board the National Geographic Sea Lion, which sails the West Coast from the Columbia and Snake Rivers to the Panama Canal. Accommodating up to 62 guests, the nimble Sea Lion can easily access shallow waters and narrow passages.

The Ocean Albatros has 95 comfortable staterooms and suites, all with unobstructed sea views, most with their own balcony. The vessel has more than a 50% lower carbon footprint than traditional expedition vessels and is one of the most environmentally friendly, implementing the Green Initiative Program, ensuring both absolute comfort and sustainability for participants.

Iceland Pro Cruises’ Ocean Diamond easily transports its 210 guests into the fjords of Iceland and Greenland with its ice-strengthened hull and two stabilizers. Modern amenities and panoramic lounges are the perfect setting from which to admire remote waterways and glaciers.

With state-of-the-art expedition tools and amenities built to enjoy the far reaches of the Atlantic, Adventure Canada’s Ocean Endeavour sails the North Atlantic from Canada and Greenland to the British Isles while accommodating up to 198 passengers.
