| A test of Resolution

LINDBLAD Expeditions’ National Geographic Resolution polar vessel has successfully completed her sea trial.

The test was carried out earlier this month, departing from and returning to the shipyard, Ulstein Verft, ahead of the final construction phase before her first expedition cruise in Antarctica.

The trial included various manoeuvres such as the 360-degree turning test and power tests, as well as emergency tests.

Resolution is the sister vessel to National Geographic Endurance, which was delivered in Mar 2020, and carried out her first expeditions in Iceland this northern summer (CW 21 Apr).
