National Geographic Polaris

The minute you board the expedition ship National Geographic Polaris, her mellow woods, polished brass and gracious informality will make you feel right at home. Our expedition style is casual: there’s no need to dress up ever. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are relaxed and informal, with no assigned seating. Since to us “expedition” doesn’t mean “deprivation,” count on enjoying genuinely fine dining and the attentive personal service that consistently wins us accolades and industry awards. And Polaris’ inviting spaces — her handsome teak deck, spacious lounge and cozy library make camaraderie or a quiet reverie even more pleasurable.
