Description

National Geographic Gemini is a highly maneuverable, shallow-draft expedition ship, specially built for exploring remote areas with ease. Sailing with a maximum of 48 guests, the ship offers a choice of larger suites, cabins with balconies, and a mix of double, single, and triple cabins, all with ocean views. Suite 601 on the upper deck is the largest in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Galapagos fleet, featuring a separate living room, forward-facing balcony, private hot tub, side balcony, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The ship also boasts a hot tub and a fitness and spa center with windows, an outdoor café on the Lounge Deck, as well as a restaurant on the Marina Deck. The lounge features a spacious bar, a well-stocked library, and an adjacent reception area. National Geographic Gemini also carries a fleet of fast-deploying Mark VI Zodiacs, a glass-bottom boat, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, making the ship well-equipped to explore the islands and marine reserve. Snorkeling gear is also provided for all guests.
