Lindblad Expeditions has announced its intention to order a new polar-expedition cruise ship.
This will be the fourth polar vessel in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet, joining the National Geographic Explorer and the National Geographic Orion, both currently in operation, and the National Geographic Endurance, which is scheduled for delivery in early 2020.
Lindblad has not confirmed where it intends to place the order, though National Geographic Endurance is being built at Crist Shipyard.
This vessel is anticipated to be delivered in 2021.
