Lindblad Expeditions

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have teamed up to offer expert sailing and exploration with a small-ship cruise experience.  There are no typical tropical destinations on the itineraries. Instead, adventure travel and a love for discovering new places combine to make the ultimate destination a reality for travelers.

Some of the most beautiful and interesting places on earth are the destinations for Lindblad Expeditions. Passengers don’t just sit on the ship and watch the scenery go by. Hiking and exploring on foot, by kayak, and by Zodiacs bring a unique perspective and a new way to learn about the locations.

In Alaska, families aboard Lindblad Expeditions can cruise where others can’t.  Hidden coves and narrow channels allow unparalleled glimpses of bears, eagles, whales, and other wildlife that make Alaska so unique.

While Egypt is a desert, a cruise on the Nile is really an ideal way to see its sights. See the pyramids and the Sphinx, the ancient cities of Luxor and Cairo, and visit bazaars that offer everything from colorful cloth to exotic spices.

In Central America, Lindblad Expeditions explore the rainforests, cloud forests, volcanoes and wildlife that make up Costa Rica and Panama. There are plenty chances to kayak down river channels or climb through the canopy of the rainforest.

The Mediterranean region is stunning, with ancient ruins, a rich history, incredible food, and some of the best sunsets in the world Lindblad’s sailing yachts allow guests to experience isolated beaches, small fishing villages, tavernas and archeological treasures.

The isles of Britain and Ireland are diverse and unique. Lindblad Expedition cruises along these isles offer spectacular scenery, ancient Celtic Christian monasteries and beautiful gardens where numerous birds and plants flourish. Castles atop craggy cliffs, rugged landscape and friendly people make traveling throughout these isles a pleasure.

The Galapagos Islands are off the coast of Ecuador, and boast some of the most ecologically diverse wildlife and ecosystem. Snorkel in the clear aquamarine waters and observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. Kayak around the island for a unique perspective of its coastline. View lizards, birds, and turtles that could have been the same types that Darwin observed. The Lindblad Expedition team ws the first in the Galapagos islands, and after visiting, it’s easy to see how that makes for a great experience.

Another first that Lindblad Expeditions offers is the chance to visit Antarctica. Kayak around icebergs while observing penguins, view whales breeching from the deck of the cruise ship, and feel safe in the knowledge that you are with the most experienced ice team on earth.

These tours give everyone a chance to really get out and see the world. Whether it’s a group of friends who want to reconnect and enjoy a new experience, a couple on their honeymoon, or a family eager to explore, there is adventure to be had by everyone. Specially skilled staff members organize and plan activities specifically designed for young people to enjoy, which combines both education and fun into one package.
