ULTIMATE POLAR EXPEDITION SHIPS

Exploring Antarctica should be a pinnacle event in a traveler’s life. We’re committed to doing whatever it takes to make your experience the most memorable ever—and our expedition ships are key. Top-tier Ice Class vessels, each is purpose-designed and built, incorporating 55+ years of polar experience, for exploring the ice in comfort and safety. The captains of the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet are extraordinary mariners, with decades of ice navigation expertise. Our expedition teams are hand-picked for their knowledge of polar natural history and their ice skills. Equipped with state-of-the-art tools, our ships are unparalleled bases for explorations. And the logistics on each are superb, designed to swiftly and efficiently get you off ship on your choice of thrilling daily forays.

A+ EXPEDITION TEAM

Many of the experts on our staff are veteran polar guides, with Lindblad for decades. Chosen for their knowledge in natural history, life and climate sciences, and the history of polar exploration, they’re also keen-eyed spotters able to optimize opportunities to observe each region’s incredible wildlife.

TAKE GREAT PHOTOS WITH THE PROS

Travel with esteemed photographers and Lindblad-National Geographic certified instructors for inspiration & top caliber assistance in the field, so you can go home with your best shots ever. Participatory one-to-one critiques, ‘laptop gallery’ events and more engage beginners to advanced hobbyists. Plus try out big-ticket gear from the exclusive B&H Photo Locker.

EXCLUSIVE UNDERSEA PROGRAM

Our ships don’t merely use the Southern Ocean, recently deemed the Fifth Ocean by National Geographic cartographers, as a highway, we explore it. Only on our expeditions is an Undersea Specialist an integral part of the team. They dive the polar deep, or use Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), to bring back images—often surprising and unexpectedly colorful—to enrich your understanding of Antarctica as a dynamic landand-sea ecosystem.
