Fire & Ice

Unabashedly beautiful and luxuriously appointed, National Geographic Resolution’s interiors are superlative from a design and hospitality perspective. They uphold our traditions: making community (the Lounge) and insight (the ‘Circle of Truth’ podium) the center of expedition life.

FIRE & ICE ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR SHIP

Sleek and powerful on the outside, National Geographic Resolution is quietly luxe in the best Scandinavian design tradition on the inside. From the streamlined modernism of her welcoming Reception and the distinctive style of her elevators and staircase, to the cossetting comfort of her public and private spaces, National Geographic Resolution’s demeanor is gracious dedication to your ease. With a total of six guest decks, the ship has over 10,000 square feet of glass to frame the spectacular scenery she transits—keeping you constantly connected to the view, while her considered décor and amenities, as you’ll see, keep you, and just 125 fellow guests, spaciously and contentedly contained.

Clockwise from far left: Shift in Lounge design, but the Circle of Truth remains at the heart of it and Recap is the main event; National Geographic Explorer was the first ship to transport scientists and researchers to bridge the ‘grant gap,’ now there’s a locus for them to work aboard and for guests to observe science in action; different library design, same reverence for books on all topics; the Den serves as a warm, inviting nook to catch up on that novel during days at sea, or to enjoy a nightcap.
