We love that the ship has an onboard selection of camera gear to try out on location, free of charge. With your onboard National Geographic photographer nearby for advice, it's a great way to make the most of the stunning photographic opportunities.

What our customer think of the National Geographic Resolution of National Geographic Resolution

The Nat Geo Resolution is hands down the BEST ship I have ever been on... and a shoutout to Heidi the Captain and her team who sail that mega ship as if it was a zodiac! It has amazing views from wherever you are, it's cosy, the rooms couldn't be better thought out. The food was really excellent - the chefs really came up with a good menu, and we even had a really delicious outdoor barbeque! Read the full review

Cabin was fantastic, spent a lot of time on the balcony looking out for whales and taking in the view, and the food was to die for!! I would definitely repeat this trip on this boat or follow the boat wherever it went! Read the full review
