National Geographic Sea Bird /
National Geographic Sea Lion

These twin expedition ships can reach places inaccessible to larger ships due to their small size, yet each comfortably accommodates 70 guests in 37 outside cabins. The feeling is often compared to that of a large private yacht, with everyone integral to the adventure.

The Sea Lion, built in 1982, and Sea Bird, built in 1981,
and refurbished in 2000, are of U.S. registry and comply
fully with U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
