About National Geographic Sea Bird
The National Geographic Sea Bird is your gateway to unforgettable adventures along the stunning coasts of North and Central America. With a capacity for just 62 guests in 31 elegant outside cabins, this vessel ensures an intimate and enriching experience. Designed for both comfort and exploration, the Sea Bird's shallow draft and compact size grant access to secluded waterfalls, fast-moving channels, and hidden bays perfect for snorkeling and kayaking.
Each cabin offers panoramic views through windows or portholes, private facilities, climate control, and modern conveniences like Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and USB ports. Indulge in sustainable, locally sourced cuisine served in an inviting dining room with a single seating and unassigned tables that encourage socializing and camaraderie.
The ship boasts a range of luxurious public spaces, including a well-stocked library, a global market, and a lounge with a full-service bar and state-of-the-art facilities for films and presentations. Relax on the observation deck or the partially covered sun deck, or explore the “open bridge” to meet the captain and officers while gaining insights into navigation.
For wellness enthusiasts, the Sea Bird features a fully equipped fitness center and a LEXspa treatment room staffed by skilled wellness specialists. The vessel is also outfitted with a fleet of 6 Zodiacs, 16 kayaks, paddleboards, and an array of advanced expedition tools, including a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), hydrophone, splash-cam, underwater video camera, and video microscope. Snorkeling gear and wetsuits are provided to ensure a seamless adventure.
One of the ship’s standout features is its spacious bow, perfect for gathering with naturalists, photo instructors, and experts to witness the awe-inspiring sights of whale watching or dramatic glacier calving.
