Featuring 53 cabins, the gracious and intimate National Geographic Orion takes travelers to little-known waters and isles in New Zealand, Australia, French Polynesia, the Pacific Islands, Asia, and the Mediterranean to experience each location's natural and cultural wonders up close. National Geographic Orion's elevated maneuverability allows for navigation of inshore waters, secluded bays, and sinuous rivers–practically anywhere accessible by sea.

At the helm of National Geographic Orion is an expert crew, capable of handling intricate operations that large cruise ships could never attempt. The ship features modern navigational equipment and technological abilities that allow her to navigate safely, even in uncharted waters​. National Geographic Orion offers guests a spirited, almost clubby environment onboard. Of her many amenities and features, the most appealing is her outdoor dining and deck space, which beckons in the balmy reaches of the South Pacific, the Mediterranean, and beyond and offers a range of panoramic views of the region’s rich avian and marine life.

The ultimate cruise experience blends elegant settings and extraordinary service on board with incredible natural surroundings ashore. The combination of Century Cruises’ years of experience in providing top-notch service and inspiring itineraries is paired with forward thinking and innovation. It has adopted new exciting amenities and developed vibration and noise reduction technologies as well eco-friendly features. We can always aim higher.
