About National Geographic Endeavour II
National Geographic Endeavour II is the largest of Lindblad's Galápagos ships, carrying 96 guests in 52 cabins year-round in the archipelago. The ASENAV yard at Valdivia, Chile, built her in 2005 as Via Australis for the Patagonia cruise line Australis, and her hull is ice-strengthened for those southern waters. Lindblad took her over in 2016 and rebuilt her from top to bottom for the tropics, cutting her capacity from 136 passengers. A shallow draft, a large open observation deck and big windows in the lounges suit wildlife watching, and Lindblad markets her as its most family-friendly ship. Her voyages include Galápagos expeditions on their own and combined with Machu Picchu and Peru.
