Accommodation
We built National Geographic Explorer—the flagship of our fleet—to be the most technologically advanced, fully stabilized, and accommodating expedition ship in the world. Explorer carries 148 guests in 81 cabins, 13 with balconies. She is a Canada cruise ship equipped with a full discovery toolbox—enabling you to see, do, and learn, more. Her size and nimbleness offer the perfect combination of safety and the ability to sail Canada to out-of-the-way coastal islands and other places where cruise ships cannot go.
