WHY GO BY SHIP Throughout the ages, the thrill and romance of exploration have been the making of heroes and the source of legends. Like the explorers in history books, but with world-class expedition vessels, the exhilaration of discovery is ours. From pole to pole, roaming free and untethered from ports and schedules, our small and nimble ships venture to wild places few have ever seen. Head to the Tuamotus or the Ring of Fire, in remote seas with dugongs or narwhals. Live among mother and calf gray whales in Baja or sail to Svalbard to see polar bears. Landing on tiny, deserted islands; skirting fjord-carved coastlines; and threading into narrow waterways where brown bears and reindeer roam, we go farther. And once in these distant, wild places, go even farther. Zodiac cruise among blue icebergs, snorkel with sea lions, or penetrate the Amazon’s cathedral of green in a custom skiff. The open bows and generous windows of our ships ensure complete connection at all times to the remarkable landscapes and wildlife of the places we explore. From the deck, feel the joy of racing playful dolphins, the awe of spotting leaping mobula rays, and the unique wonder of hundreds of parrots flying overhead. And don’t be surprised if your dinner conversation is interrupted by a pod of whales in a dining room surrounded by windows.

THE MOST EXHILARATING DISCOVERIES ARE THE ONES YOU MAKE TOGETHER Whether it’s observing blue-footed boobies performing a courtship dance in Galápagos, getting eye level with gray whales in Baja, or kayaking off a shore studded with foraging bears in Alaska, we believe shared activities in a wild and exciting environment can unite a family. Our expeditions ensure seamless family getaways where everything is taken care of. Kids thrive in the safe, comfortable spaces of the ship where they can exercise a measure of autonomy. Our naturalists and National Geographic certified field educators are excellent role models who ably embed learning in every activity. And since we believe the most exhilarating discoveries are the ones you share with your kids and grandkids, we offer $500 off the double occupancy rate for each child under the age of 18.

National Geographic Global Explorers, our exclusive family program, is aboard all ships traveling in Alaska, Baja, and Galápagos. Developed in conjunction with National Geographic Education, this unique exploration-based program provides an unforgettable “smart fun” experience. Kids and teens choose cool activities—from earning a Zodiac “driver’s license” to recording wildlife sightings in their Field Notebook—all designed to help them develop the attitudes, skills, and knowledge of an explorer. Guests under age 18 will have the opportunity to:    

First and foremost, have fun! Benefit from National Geographic certified field educators Connect with nature Learn to be a storyteller

 Develop their observation skills

NORTH AMERICA From sea to shining sea, North America showcases its wildness—from Newfoundland’s striking fjords and Alaska’s calving glaciers to flocks of pink flamingos in the Bahamas and whales and dolphins feeding among the Channel Islands. Breathe the bracing fresh air of a British Columbia old growth rainforest or witness the Earth’s mantle laid bare at Gros Morne National Park. In remote, roadless places, jet boat through sinuous Hells Canyon or kayak in the still mangroves of uninhabited Conception Island where sea turtles forage and boobies nest. Follow the trails of Vikings, Christopher Columbus, and Lewis and Clark and learn about cultures like the Haida whose ancestors settled in Haida Gwaii nearly 13,000 years ago. For all our differences, one thing is certain: North America offers unmatched, mystical wild encounters with stoic bears and manta rays, crashing hidden waterfalls and deep blue holes swirling with marine life.

May/June

Springtime is a favorite amongst our naturalists. Still-budding vegetation sets the stage for rarer wildlife sightings and lingering snow on the mountain peaks sends hungry bears to the shoreline to feed, sometimes with newborns in tow. Harbor seals have their pups early, and you can spot them deep in the fjords floating atop ice floes for safety. Each day bursts forth with more life, as the wildflowers bloom and days continue to stretch until the summer solstice. While nights can be a bit cooler, the days are often brilliantly sunny.

July/Early-Mid August

These months generally see the warmest temperatures and longer daylight hours means more chances to spot and observe wildlife. If a whale is spotted after dinner, we can stay on the bow until 10pm in the lingering daylight. In mid-to-late July, the salmon start running, luring bald eagles and bears. If you’re inspired to forage yourself, late summer hiking trails are often dotted with a bounty of wild berries, ripe for the picking. And of course, the height of summer is prime time for families.

Late August/September

Wildlife is still very active as preparation for hibernation or migration is underway— so that means lots and lots of eating. It’s “a wonderful time to predictably see large numbers of whales,” according to Andy Szabo, director of the Alaska Whale Foundation. Fall in Alaska is ephemeral but brilliant, as cottonwoods turn golden yellow and fireweed turn vibrant red. Plus, September offers a chance to end an awe-inspiring day in Southeast Alaska with one of nature’s most breathtaking exclamation points— the shimmering Northern Lights.

BAJA This is the season to visit Baja California, a remote yet close-to-home hidden gem that we’ve been exploring for 40+ years. Our Remarkable Journey is the most comprehensive Baja experience possible—an expedition that begins in the gray whale birthing lagoons on the Pacific side of the peninsula and then ventures into the Sea of Cortez for over a week of exploration.

Or choose Exploring the Sea of Cortez to focus on the region’s pristine islands and go where a great variety of whales and dolphins gather. On all these voyages, walk miles of pristine beach, kayak along sculpted sandstone cliffs, and snorkel with sea lions. Witness gorgeous sunrises and sunsets daily; and see the Milky Way clearly stretched across a star-filled night sky, from the ship’s deck or a beach BBQ.

Spot curious sea lions and zipping penguins on a Galápagos snorkeling expedition? Check.

EUROPE From the North Sea to the Mediterranean and from Orkney to Gibraltar, our expeditions deliver special experiences in iconic destinations. Walk with a historian in the footsteps of Allied troops on Omaha Beach, cruise the storybook canals of Bruges on a private boat tour, taste locally produced marzipan in Lübeck, and collect mussels with a Galician fisherman. History is brought to vivid life at legendary sights of antiquity like the ancient village of Olympia, Crete’s Minoan city, and Scotland’s Neolithic Skara Brae. Architectural wonders include the legendary palaces of the Alhambra, Santiago de Compostela’s medieval cathedral, glorious Mont-Saint-Michel, and the billowing metal façade of the Guggenheim Bilbao. Sail through Norway’s dramatic fjords, stroll along Amsterdam’s canals, taste whisky on Skye and port in Porto. Diminutive Shetland ponies can be seen in their natural habitat and minke whales, porpoises, and other marine animals often show themselves at sea. But it’s pelagic birds that most often appear, sometimes in enormous numbers as in the tens of thousands of gannets, guillemots, fulmars, puffins, and kittiwakes that nest on the seabird skyscraper of Noss Island.

DISCOVER EUROPE ANEW & ENJOY ‘SLOW TRAVEL’ TOO Many people yearned for the remembered scale, charms, warmth, and patina of European villages and vistas during the pandemic. Designed to do more than merely make up for lost travel time, our expeditions explore a Europe ideal for these times—one far from airports, railyards, and rental cars. We skillfully steer onto the beaten path when it matters (who wants to miss a visit to Mont-Saint-Michel?) and off it to surprise even the most Europe-savvy (an exclusive tasting at an ancestral oyster farm in Bretagne? Heaven!) With the exception of sea time on our longer voyages, there’s very little downtime— our team makes the most of your desire to see it all. Given that, our week-long voyages will seem to go by fast, but there’s no need for speed. You can enjoy the benefits of slow travel, aboard the brand-new National Geographic Resolution, with her stunning décor and superb amenities. And save 10%, too. The pace, the kaleidoscopic variety, and the sheer ease of distance-eating ship travel, coupled with the quality of life aboard National Geographic Resolution offer a deeply rewarding alternative to the ‘before times’ ways of exploring Europe. Save 10% when you combine all three, or any two of the following seven-day itineraries: Culture & Cuisine from Porto to Basque Country (page 31); Medieval to Modern: Tracing History from Bordeaux to Dublin (page 32); and/or Wild Isles: Rugged Coasts of Scotland & Ireland (page 33).

ARCTIC & RUSSIAN FAR EAST The sheer visual splendor of the Arctic is astounding, from Greenland’s stunning Ilulissat Icefjord, where massive icebergs soar upwards of 300 feet, to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Iceland and the Kuril Islands. The wildlife we encounter is just as incredible. Two of the best places on Earth to observe the king of Arctic wildlife, the polar bear, are Svalbard and Wrangel Island. Don’t forget arctic foxes, reindeer, and musk ox; and in the icy seas we cross, beluga, bowhead, sperm, and gray whales; plus walruses, ringed seals, and perhaps even the elusive narwhal. The dramatic sea cliffs of the Faroe Islands alive with thousands of nesting puffins, and avian species like the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, enormous Stellar’s sea eagle, and sacred red-crowned crane can be spotted in the Russian Far East. The peoples of these distant coastlines have histories, cultures, and languages not widely known in the world. We’ll meet Chukchi and Yupik villagers, Koryak reindeer herders, and Ainu in the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido.

PACIFIC ISLES Volcanic peaks rise dramatically from turquoise lagoons and steep cliffs drop straight to deserted beaches. An astonishing array of marine life inhabits clear, warm water: 20 species of whales and dolphins, 16-foot manta rays, green sea turtles, and vast schools of tropical fish dart around multicolored galaxies of healthy corals. Dine on a private motu; float in a hidden cave; spot an ultramarine lorikeet on a rainforest hike or a fairy tern while kayaking in a secluded cove. Find your perfect paradise in the iconic landscapes of jagged green peaks, pristine beaches, and the bluest of blue waters, continuing the legacy of explorers, writers, and artists like James Cook, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Paul Gauguin. Idyllic surroundings are a given but what many find surprising is how much these islands are steeped in history and culture. Through meeting welcoming locals and seeing dance performances, thousand-year-old petroglyphs, an eight-foot moss-covered tiki, and sacred sites called marae, we uncover the infinitely rich cultures and proud histories of this dynamic region.
