Lyngen

National Geographic Explorer is a small ice-strengthened passenger vessel in the Lindblad Expeditions fleet. She can accommodate 148 guests. She was previously operated by Hurtigruten.

Lyngen was built in 1982. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for Lyngen include a gross tonnage of approximately 6,471 GT, a passenger capacity in the vicinity of 310, an overall length of approximately 112 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of Lyngen's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to Lyngen reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
