“At the end of the day there
there is no substitute for experience”
In 2025, National Geographic Orion will set sail on six brand-new expeditions that explore from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Isles. Visit historic islands and lesser-known ports of call in places like Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Sicily, and the Azores, as you discover these familiar regions from a new perspective.
The fleet bears the National Geographic name because they are equipped for in-depth exploration. Stocked with tools like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and hydrophones, these expedition vessels enhance undersea and onshore discovery for guests— and for the explorers and researchers who join select departures. Most of these small ships are also outfitted with a fleet of kayaks, paddleboards, and Zodiacs for up-close exploration at water level.
A National GeographicLindblad
certified photo instructor (CPI) joins every expedition and a National Geographic photographer accompanies select departures. Every guest—from smartphone camera users to advanced hobbyists—can stand side by side with these top photographers, pick up tips in the field, and return home with the photos of a lifetime.
On select ships, travelers have access to a complimentary OM System Photo Gear Locker, stocked with lenses, camera bodies, and other equipment that they can test in the field.
