About National Geographic Venture
National Geographic Venture is the sister of National Geographic Quest, built by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders on Whidbey Island, Washington, and floated out in 2018 as the fourth Lindblad ship from that Pacific Northwest yard. Like Quest she is U.S.-flagged, carries 100 guests in 50 cabins and has a shallow draft for working close inshore. Her year moves between Alaska's Inside Passage, the Great Bear Rainforest, the San Juan Islands and British Columbia in summer, and California's Channel Islands, Baja California's Sea of Cortez, Costa Rica and the Panama Canal in the colder months.
