Following the build of National Geographic Quest at Nichols Brothers shipyard, her sister ship, the 100-guest National Geographic Venture, floated into the bay on Whidbey Island, becoming the fourth ship in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet built at this storied Pacific Northwest shipyard. In the 1970s, Nichols Brothers built the twin ships National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion, which continue to sail the waters of the west coast of North America and Central America.

Highlights

American-flagged, National Geographic Venture and her sister ship, National Geographic Quest, are at home in Pan-American waters.
  • National Geographic Venture's design and engineering reflect decades of experience exploring Alaska, Baja California and Central America.

  • Examples of features unique to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions include twin boarding platforms that enable the team to load two Zodiacs at once, so guests can get off the ship quickly to take advantage of wildlife sightings and maximize exploring time.

  • She also features a shallow draft, allowing the Captain to navigate the inner reaches and provide more intimate experiences.
