LINDBLAD’S National Geographic Orion is out of action until Apr after the main engine suffered a technical problem as it was leaving the Antarctic Peninsula on 27 Dec.
The ship’s Safe Return to Port feature was switched on and it arrived in Ushuaia two days late, on 29 Dec.
A scheduled 27 Dec departure was cancelled, along with all Jan and Feb sailings (a total of five).
Guests will be reimbursed for any costs due to their late arrival into Ushuaia and will receive a $1,000 future travel credit.
Those who had already travelled to Santiago for the cancelled 27 Dec departure will be refunded for the voyage and their airfares and receive a full credit for the amount they paid for the cruise.
Guests booked on the Jan cancelled sailings will receive a refund for their voyage and air along with 20% off their next expedition if they rebook immediately or a $2,000 travel credit toward a future voyage.
