Expertly Crafted Coastal European Adventures Explorers have long found inspiration on the shorelines of Europe, from the Vikings who launched their longships from Norwegian fjords to the navigators who set sail from Portugal’s golden sands. Today, coastal Europe still holds the promise of discovery for expedition travelers. On the fringes of the European continent, little-known wonders are found along

captivating seafronts—treasures like an ancient basalt sea cave in Scotland, volcanic Azorean vineyards, and prehistoric standing stones in the Corsican countryside. To sail Europe with Lindblad

Expeditions-National Geographic is to encounter both the iconic and unfamiliar, exploring a

wide range of geographies to gain unique perspectives on

the threads that connect their

histories and cultures. Our small

ships sail deftly among windswept archipelagos, through historic canals, and into open water,

inviting you to see Europe’s seascapes through the eyes of the explorers who came before. And the team at the helm of each expedition—including naturalists, cultural experts, historians, and certified photo instructors—offers expert insights into Europe’s past to help illuminate her present.

We take you to the front doors of grand medieval cities and picturesque Mediterranean harbors, approaching them in

an authentic, time-honored way and immersing you in their

illustrious histories. And the special experiences we arrange on shore with local chefs, fishermen, musicians, and art

curators help you forge deeper connections to the cultures

that helped shape these storied places. Explore Europe with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic and discover new perspectives on timeless treasures.

Surprising Sights and Uncommon Adventures Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic voyages are expertly curated to include unique destinations and excursions that allow you to experience a different side of Europe. Alongside our knowledgeable expedition teams and handpicked local experts, enjoy unexpected adventures, from a chef-guided market tour in the Azores to a hurling demonstration in Cobh. Celebrate Norway’s Independence Day

Add a twist to your annual Independence Day celebrations by taking part in Syttende Mai, or 17th of May, honoring the 1814 signing of the Norwegian Constitution. In 2024, join in the celebrations, which include parades, gatherings, and plenty of traditional food. (See pg. 25)

Try Your Hand at Hurling

Visit a local hurling club in Cobh for a demonstration of this stick-andball game with Gaelic origins. Meet the players, then pick up a wooden hurley and try your hand at passing the sliotar down the field. (See pg. 22)


Go Back to the Bronze Age in Sardinia

In the second millennia B.C., a conical defensive structure known as nuraghi developed on Sardinia, which harbors the finest remaining example of this unique architecture: Su Naraxi di Barumini. After visiting this UNESCO site, delve into its history at a nearby archaeological museum. (See pg. 33)

Unearth Azorean Culinary Traditions Guided by a local chef in the Azores, select fresh ingredients at a market, then prepare and enjoy cozido, an Azorean specialty stew that’s naturally cooked underground by the volcanic activity of São Miguel’s verdant Furnas Valley. (See pg. 20)

Hike Crete’s Samaria Gorge

Take on the challenge of hiking one of Europe’s longest canyons: the Samaria Gorge on the island of Crete. This spectacularly scenic trek winds through a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of soaring cliffs and Mediterranean forests that host endemic species like wild goat. (See pg. 16)

See Where Michelangelo Sourced Marble

Michelangelo was among the first artists to recognize the beauty of the stone from the marble quarries near Pietransanta. Today, the Tuscan town is known as ‘Little Athens’ for the international artisans—marble sculptors in particular—with studios along the charming medieval streets. (See pg. 30)

Sardinia's Su Nuraxi is the best-preserved evidence of the ancient Nuragic civilization, and was declared a UNESCO site in 1997.

TRAVEL IN GOOD COMPANY

Nicholas Kristof In 2025, we are thrilled to welcome acclaimed journalist Nicholas Kristof to the National Geographic Endurance as a special guest speaker on the April 2 departure of Islands of the Azores: Basalt Peaks to Volcanic Vineyards. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof has contributed to The New York Times for nearly four decades—as a reporter and a columnist— covering topics ranging from presidential politics to human rights issues. Early in his career, Kristof backpacked through Africa and Asia, writing articles to fund his travels. He has lived on four continents, reported on six, and visited more than 150 countries. During his adventures, he survived malaria, encounters with wars and warlords, and an airplane crash, among other adversities. After joining The New York Times in 1984, Kristof served as a correspondent in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo. He has interviewed everyone from President Obama to Iranian President Ahmadinejad, and he was the first blogger on The New York Times website. In 1990, Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn—then also a journalist for The New York Times—became the first husband-wife team to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism for their coverage of China’s Tiananmen

Square democracy movement. Kristof won his second Pulitzer in 2006 for what the judges called “his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur and that gave voice to the voiceless in other parts of the world.” Together, Kristof and WuDunn have written five best-selling books, including Half the Sky and A Path Appears, each of which inspired a prime-time PBS documentary series. Kristof has won innumerable awards, including the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, the Anne Frank Award, and the Fred Cuny Award for Prevention of Armed Conflict. As a speaker, Kristof captivates with his moving storytelling and unique insights into the events that shape our world. On our voyage through the Azores, he will share lessons learned from his decades of reporting, as well as thoughts on the philanthropy revolution—a movement that extends to sustainability initiatives. As a leading destination in sustainable tourism, the Azores provides a fascinating backdrop for discussions with Kristof on how conservation is tied to human rights and social justice.

TRAVEL IN GOOD COMPANY

Mary Robinson On 2025 departures of Ancient Isles: England, Ireland, and Scotland, travelers will be joined for a portion of their journey by the renowned Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, chair of The Elders, and the former UN special envoy on climate change. Mary Robinson is one of the world’s most respected advocates for climate justice. Her new book, Climate Justice, has received praise from former world leaders and the environmental and human rights community. Robinson is a graduate of Trinity College and Harvard Law School. She holds honorary doctorates from more than 40 of the world’s most elite universities and is the recipient of the Indira Gandhi and Sydney Peace Prizes. Robinson served in the Irish Senate for 20 years before ascending to the Presidency in 1990. She is widely regarded as a groundbreaking leader who helped shape modern Ireland in a period of rapid economic growth.

In 2007, Robinson became a founding member of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders formed by Nelson Mandela to tackle the world’s most pressing issues. She was appointed as the UN special envoy on climate change in 2016 and has sounded the alarm when extreme weather events have disproportionately affected the world’s most vulnerable populations. Robinson is looking forward to returning to the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet as a guest speaker on the Ireland portion of our journey. She brings the thoughtful leadership of a former head of state, a grandmother’s passionately felt concern for the future, and the compelling stories of the thousands she has met traveling the world as a champion for climate justice and human rights. Among our travelers, she is known for sparking meaningful conversations and framing climate issues in solvable terms, leaving guests hopeful and inspired to change the course of our planet’s future.
