About IMO 8705266

National Geographic Islander II is a cruise ship currently operated by Lindblad Expeditions. Built by Flender Werft in Lübeck, Germany, she was laid down in 1988 and floated out as Lady Diana in 1989. She was completed in December 1991 as Aurora I. She and sister ship Aurora II were purchased by Star Cruises in 1994. Aurora I was renamed Megastar Taurus and served from 1994 until being laid up in 2008. In July 2015, Crystal Cruises announced that she would join its fleet as Crystal Esprit, and on December 20, 2015, she was rechristened at Eden Island Marina in Mahé, Seychelles, by Lady Gaenor Anne Meakes (fiancée of yachtsman Mark Richards). In September 2021, Crystal announced that they had sold the all-suite ship following a review of its post-pandemic offering.
