National Geographic Orion Activities & Services

Cruise Line:  Lindblad Expeditions

Activities & Services

Wake each morning to another day of adventure with the expedition team, and then return to your base camp Orion. Whether your experiences involve landing on a remote beach, venturing up narrow rivers in your Zodiac, or exploring caves for ancient rock art, you know that you will always return to the comfort of the dedicated 75 member crew. Have a massage to unwind, a sauna for sore muscles, or order a refreshment brought to you, spa side, before enjoying dinner on the back deck or in the dining room. You’ll find National Geographic Orion is unlike any other ship. Her appointments are luxurious, yet life aboard has a distinctly relaxed flavor with the international-standard service being warm and unobtrusive. The ambiance is intimate and subtly elegant. Orion takes you to the planet’s most remote, wild places while maintaining a superb level of comfort and convenience.
