National geographic Endurance

摘要

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDURANCE LAUNCHED IN JULY 2021, AS HER SISTER SHIP, THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC RESOLUTION, IS SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH IN THE AUTUMN OF 2021. NAMED IN HONOUR OF polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship, it is designed to navigate polar passages year-round while providing exceptional comfort. The National Geographic Endurance will safely explore unchartered waters and new latitudes, including Northeast Greenland, remote Jan Mayen Island, the Northeast Passage, and more. Originally set to launch in April 2020, the 126-guest, state-of-the-art National Geographic Endurance sat out the pandemic in Norway and is ready to discover the wilder side of Iceland and Greenland as her maiden voyage kicked off from Reykjavik, Iceland in July and returning there 17 days later. She will explore Iceland, where her walls of gleaming glass and expansive decks will provide optimal viewing of spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife. Then National Geographic Endurance will follow the ice edge off the east coast of Greenland, an Arctic 'savannah' for polar bears, walruses, and whales. Right before her maiden voyage, she was christened in a ceremony that kicked off with a special video highlighting the making of the National Geographic Endurance, her construction to her completion in the top shipbuilding capitals of the world, and the extraordinary polar environments she will explore. National Geographic Endurance is the first ship ever to be christened in Reykjavik Harbour, her first of hopefully many history-making distinctions.
