An authentic expedition ship, purpose-built for exploring the South Pacific, Asia, Antarctica, the Mediterranean, and beyond
National Geographic Orion's elevated maneuverability allows for navigation of inshore waters, secluded bays and sinuous rivers–practically anywhere accessible by sea.
At the helm of National Geographic Orion is an expert crew, capable of handling intricate operations that large cruise ships could never attempt. The ship features modern navigational equipment and technological abilities that allow her to navigate safely, even in uncharted waters.
Of her many amenities and features, the most appealing is her outdoor dining and deck space, which offers a range of panoramic views of every region’s rich avian and marine life.
