To build her and her sister ship, National Geographic Quest, we turned to Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, the company that built the beloved National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion—vessels that, with our regular maintenance schedule and refurbishments have been operating successfully for decades. Nichols Brothers has been building boats on beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington since 1964 and we are proud that the Venture and Quest will be the first expedition ships of their kind to be purposefully designed and built for expedition travel and made entirely in the U.S. Designed with over 50 years of expedition heritage, National Geographic Venture is able to explore the same remote locations we’ve sought out for decades while setting a new standard in comfort and style. She will follow National Geographic Quest in featuring step-out balconies (available in 22 of the 50 spacious cabins), plus 6 sets of connecting cabins for families and groups; a Sun Deck bar, and a designated mudroom for expedition gear. #### Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Passenger Capacity | 100 | | Crew | 0 | | Gross Tonnage | 0.0 | | Length | 0.0 ft | | Total Cabins | 50 | ## Ports of Call ### Los Angeles *Coordinates: 33.7701, -118.194* Los Angeles is a sprawling Southern California city and the center of the nation’s film and television industry.
