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.

Beautiful ship, cabins were clean and comfortable. Laura was excellent, very personable and her staff was superb! When I was seasick, the food staff brought me rolls and ginger cookies. Yes, I would choose the Resolution in a heartbeat again. Read the full review

The best! It exceeded our expectations in every way. The cabin was spacious, comfortable and we always felt safe and secure. The food was outstanding. I have a lot of diet restrictions, so I received a copy of the menu the day before, marked what I wanted, and they would adapt the item to meet my dietary restrictions. It was always very tasty and the servings were plentiful. Yes, we would definitely choose this again! Read the full review

10/10 - Each and every team member on the Resolution played a big role in the experience. Each team worked well independently and interacted well with others. A shoutout to the expedition team as they were exceptional. Read the full review

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
