Noteworthy Experience
Available aboard National Geographic Endurance and National Geographic Resolution, a limited number of guests can sleep overnight in a glass enclosed ‘igloo’ on the Observation Deck. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience to lie on a superb mattress under the froth of a cozy duvet, warmed by twin hot-water bottles in the traditional Scandinavian way, and gaze out at impossible polar beauty or up at never-before-seen polar stars.
