National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions


For six decades, Lindblad Expeditions has been refining the art of responsible travel, taking small groups of private travelers to destinations previously only witnessed by world-famous explorers.

It was in 2004 that Lindblad first collaborated with National Geographic. This combination, of Lindblad’s cutting-edge expedition ships and experience with National Geographic’s team of explorers and a world-famous reputation, has taken their voyages to new heights– or new depths, if we’re speaking literally.

Today, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions takes travelers to all seven continents, with more than 100 thrilling itineraries to choose from. Their ships are smaller than most expedition ships, allowing them to take guests that touch closer to the edge of unknown. Passenger capacities also never exceed 160 guests, so every itinerary feels as magical as the first time these places were discovered.

We could talk all day about the landscapes you’ll witness, the cultures you’ll connect with, and the stories you’ll carry home, but let’s not forget what actually makes a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyage feel so effortless: what’s included. Because with everything taken care of, you’re free to focus on what truly matters: exploration, connection, and awe.
