Explorations 2022-2025 VOYAGES | EXPEDITIONS.COM

Dear Traveler,

Our fleet is moving at full speed into the 2023 travel season, with more than 100 voyages to destinations near and far. From short escapes to epic journeys, our itineraries offer diverse options for safe and adventurous travel, whether you are exploring with family and friends or striking out on your own.

It takes many people working in concert across the globe to make this portfolio possible. These people are the heart and soul of the experiences we provide, whether they’re locals welcoming you ashore or crew members making sure that every cocktail is fresh and every wetsuit is dry in time for the next snorkeling session. In the pages that follow, I am pleased to introduce you to some of the people working to ensure that your experience with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic is unforgettable.

Shaun Powell, Director of Field Staff for Lindblad Expeditions, explains what we mean when we say ‘active exploration’ and how this unique and customizable approach leads to the most immersive and authentic experiences. An essential part of exploring with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic is our exclusive expedition photography program, so we asked National Geographic photography expert Ralph Lee Hopkins, the program’s founder, to share his tips for capturing your best expedition photographs. Our Vice President of Hotel Operations, Ana Esteves, explains why creating a sense of place on board starts with a welcoming community of crew members and travelers. Our founder, Sven Lindblad, reflects on the special allure of “epic” voyages: extended journeys that evoke the spirit of history’s legendary expeditions. Finally, we are delighted to share some of our guests’ recent experiences, in their own words. We are truly grateful to be part of their lives as they explore our wild and wonderful planet, and we thank them for taking the time to share their thoughts here.

I hope that these perspectives from our experts and guests offer new insights into what our expeditions are all about and inspire you to choose your next adventure. We look forward to welcoming you on board.

Sincerely, Dolf Berle CEO, Lindblad Expeditions

The Lindblad-National

Lindblad Expeditions is the pioneer of modern expedition travel, with unparalleled experience guiding inquisitive travelers to the world’s wildest and most remote destinations. Come aboard and experience the difference of traveling with us.

The Ultimate Expedition Fleet

The nimble and compact vessels in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet were de signed to take travelers to the world’s most secluded spaces, inviting exploration in spots far beyond the docks where tourists congregate. Our ships are outfitted with kayaks, paddleboards, and Zodiacs for up-close exploration at water level, while cuttingedge tools like hydrophones and SplashCams encourage further discovery on board the ship.

An Unparalleled Experience Onboard

Being in the wild doesn’t have to mean renouncing first-rate amenities, superb food, or supreme comfort. Beautifully appointed cabins, suites, and common areas reflect the sights, sounds, and artistic traditions of your destination, and meals feature local cuisines and sustainable ingredients sourced directly from nearby lands and waters. Our wellness program has also been developed to connect you more deeply with your surroundings, whether you choose to greet the day with a yoga class on deck or unwind with a massage in the spa.

A Veteran Team

Every member of our crew—from our naturalists, photographers, and expedition leaders to our staff working behind the scenes—is committed to ensuring our guests have an unforgettable experience. Many are veteran guides who have worked with us for decades,

Geographic Difference

chosen for their extensive knowledge of subjects like geology, wildlife biology, and history. They give rich context to the cultures and landscapes we encounter ashore and are also keen-eyed spotters who maximize opportunities to observe each region’s incredible flora and fauna.

Actively Explore Every Day

Our itineraries feature a range of activities designed to immerse you in your destination. Kayak through a maze of icebergs in Patagonia’s Glacier Alley, hike beneath a smoldering volcanic cone in Costa Rica, or ride a Zodiac into an ancient Scottish sea cave. No matter the destination, you will be able to explore your way—and at your own pace—each day. Activities are always included in the price of your voyage.

Exclusive Undersea Program

Whether you’re sailing the turquoise seas of the Caribbean or plying the ice-packed waters of the Arctic, our exclusive undersea program reveals the wonders hidden beneath the waves. Each voyage features an

undersea specialist who dons diving gear or deploys a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to document the marine environment, feeding live footage to the ship lounge so you can glimpse fascinating sea creatures and their oceanic habitats.

Developing Young Explorers

The National Geographic Global Explorers Program is an exclusive educational adventure for guests under 18 years of age. This hands-on, interactive program uses the natural world as a classroom in the Galápagos, Alaska, Baja California, and Antarctica. Onboard field educators teach kids to explore like scientists through engaging activities, from learning to identify whale flukes to catching plankton and examining it under a microscope, and young explorers also have the opportunity to get a Zodiac driver’s license.

At Home on the High Seas

As a former international chef with a restaurant resume that reads like a map of the world, Ana Esteves brings her deep knowledge of the globe’s cuisines and cultures to her role as Vice President of Hotel Operations for Lindblad Expeditions. We asked Ana—who was recently recognized as one of the United States Tour Operators Association’s “Future Lights of the Tour Industry”—to describe how she and her team consider every detail to make you feel truly at home and deepen your connection to the places we explore so that your time on the ship is as meaningful as your time on shore.

I travel around the world for my job and in my experience it’s easiest to connect with a place when you feel welcome there. At Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic, we define luxury as genuine comfort, and this value translates to an onboard experience that is truly friendly. Guests should feel like they can strike up a conversation with any crew member and tell them about the iceberg they saw or the sea lion they swam with and that crew member will be interested and excited for them! That sense of comfort helps travelers feel at ease with one another as well, and it’s part of the reason why, time and again, we see such strong communities form onboard.

“Lindblad-National Geographic travelers are naturally curious about their environments, and we like to feed that curiosity, both literally and figuratively.”

The food we serve comes from the very lands and waters we explore. If you have a slice of banana bread for breakfast on one of our Costa Rica expeditions, the bananas used to make that bread are endemic to the country. We’re able to do this because we build relationships with local farmers, and our chefs harvest ingredients alongside them. This helps us to establish a real connection through the cuisine and to understand what is culinarily important to the region both historically and today—and we can pass what we learn on to our guests.

Strong relationships with locals also help us uphold our commitment to sustainability which is a guiding principle for us. We know the exact fields and forests your food is coming from, and we reduce waste by asking our providers to reduce the food and plastic waste in our collaborative processes. These standards extend beyond the dining room. We use sustainable products wherever possible, from the bath amenities in your personal guest suite to the spa treatments in our shared wellness spaces.

When your surroundings and experiences are ‘of the land,’ immersion in your destination comes naturally. The art in the corridors, the cabin cushions, and the table flowers—they all reflect the heritage of the regions you’re visiting. Everything you taste, see, feel— everything you experience onboard should tell the story of the land and its people.

CHEERS! Beginning in 2024, champagne, wine, beer, and spirits are on us across our fleet.

Choose Your Own Adventure

An unconventional childhood on a farm in Northeast Texas led to Shaun Powell’s lifelong fascination with the natural world, but it was his quest for adventure that brought him to Lindblad. A 25-year veteran with degrees in marine biology and journalism, Shaun is adamant that his real education has been on the job—as purser, pastry chef, naturalist, and expedition leader, to name a few. Now Director of Field Staff, Shaun is perfectly positioned to share with us what makes for an ‘active exploration,’ how exactly we are able to access such remote locations, and more insider insights.

At Lindblad-National Geographic, we are known for what we call ‘active exploration.’ How would you explain this concept?

Active exploration is when you get out there and maximize the experience. You don’t simply observe, take a photo, and return to the coach or ship—you might go kayaking on your own, at your own speed, soaking in the environment. Or perhaps you take a walk with one of our naturalists, learning every little detail about that area’s ecosystem. Or you could visit an ancient cultural site where you learn how people lived there. It is a more intimate and connected way to travel.

What are the various tools we use for active exploration?

We are constantly researching the latest and most innovative technology, and we deploy numerous tools and toys to enhance the expedition experience. We have an onboard photo gear locker and spotting scopes are strategically positioned on the ship so we can spot, track and safely approach wildlife. Sonar equipment helps us go to remote locations where other ships don’t dare go, and through years of research we know that a Zodiac is the best vehicle for expedition cruising. For the undersea program, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) access depths of the ocean that divers can’t reach on their own, and hydrophones allow us to listen in on whales beneath the ship.

How does the field staff help differentiate an expedition from a cruise?

On an expedition you have the advantage of the team that is traveling alongside you. You aren’t left to your own devices or your own initiative. The experienced group of naturalists, professors, scientists, and scholars are there to help facilitate your connection to the environment.

How does the size of our ships enable us to explore the way we do?

The small scale of our ships serves a few different purposes. On an interpersonal

level, it allows you to get to know everyone onboard. We are also able to maximize each experience. While whale watching, for example, instead of watching from eight decks up on a large ship, we get everyone out on Zodiacs, where you’re at water level with your own little group of whales. It blows people’s minds. On top of that, we can go where large ships simply cannot. With our sonar and skilled captains, our vessels can access remote shorelines that are not outfitted with docks and jetties.

How do we accommodate guests who prefer a slower pace or who are less comfortable with vigorous activities? It’s true that we go to some remote destinations, but we always have safety and comfort in mind, and all activities are created to suit varied desires, comfort levels, and abilities. Plus, each vessel’s embarkation and disembarkation platform is designed to accommodate all capabilities. Adventure awaits for all!

ALL IN: Activities and excursions are always included in the voyage price.

The Art of Expedition Photography

Ralph Lee Hopkins has circled the globe for nearly 30 years with Lindblad Expeditions, teaching travelers how to document their journeys with beautiful imagery. Here, he shares some of his top tips for expedition photography so you’ll be ready to zoom in the moment you step on board.

The best souvenirs are the ones you make yourself—and there’s no one better to help you create stunning pictures of the places we explore than National Geographic photography experts and our certified photo instructors. Through our exclusive expedition photography program, one of these experts joins every voyage to give guests hands-on instruction on how to frame a Norwegian fjord or leverage the glow of the golden hour in the Galápagos. Whether you’re learning the fundamentals or perfecting your portfolio, our expeditions allow you to pursue your passion for photography in some of the most picturesque places on Earth.

Look for the Establishing Shot

Visually telling the story of your expedition starts by conveying an overall sense of place. You want a striking image that captures the essence of the destination and helps answer the question, “Where did you go on your expedition?”

Use Your Smartphone

As the image quality of smartphone cameras has improved, their use for expedition photography has grown exponentially. You don’t need a ton of fancy equipment to get a memorable shot, and many travelers are now using their smartphones to photograph expeditions

Be Ready for Action

Capturing wildlife behavior and movement may be the most challenging aspect of shooting on expedition. You can increase your odds of success by setting the camera to burst mode which captures multiple frames with a fast shutter speed—then pre-focus where the action is likely to happen.

Embrace the Photographer’s Mantra

Heading out with my camera, I always think of this mantra: light, composition, moment. I look for provocative light, create a strong composition, then wait for a sense of the moment.

Zoom to Simplify the Frame

The most impactful images are often simple by design. Zoom lenses offer flexibility when it comes to crafting different compositions and eliminate distracting elements from the scene, especially when taking photographs from the deck of a ship.

The Unique Allure of Epic Voyages

President and co-chair of the board, Sven Lindblad, remembers vividly the impact of his first epic voyage. Here he explains how the legacy of ‘going epic’ is proudly carried on in one-of-a-kind experiences across great swaths of our planet, much to the delight of loyal guests.

Fifty years ago, my first seagoing expedition was a 35-day voyage from New Zealand, down through the sub-Antarctic Islands to the ice-choked Ross Sea, along vast unknown west Antarctica to the Antarctic peninsula and, eventually, through the Drake Passage to Ushuaia in Argentina. Looking back now, it was certainly one of the most rewarding experiences. With time, you fall into a rhythm of comradery with fellow explorers, where the mind-blowing days mesh with simple days at sea where you can catch your breath. Anticipation for the next landfall builds, and palpable excitement takes over the ship as a new place to be discovered emerges on the horizon.

We tend to rush a lot. Time is rarely a gift we give ourselves. We used to create a greater number of longer expeditions but found that people did not seem to want to devote the time. Life’s pace seemed to have gotten more hectic. But I sense that is changing and people are rethinking their personal relationship to time.

So, here we are—embracing opportunities to slow down our pace and enjoy a greater arc of experience. We call them Epic Voyages because of their scope and rewards that come with the gift of time.

These voyages span the globe. From crossing the entire Atlantic Ocean on a 9,000 nautical mile, replicating the voyage to Antarctica from New Zealand to Argentina I made 50 years ago, to a deep dive into the culture, wildlife, and remarkable undersea of Indonesia, Raja Ampat, and Papua New Guinea.

On all of these voyages there is so much to see and, of course, learn. I have always believed that travel is the best way to learn about and better understand our world. And on Epic Voyages, that’s true in spades.

A final note—shared purpose really is the essence of any successful endeavor, as you well know. And that, in many ways, is the magic I believe exists on our expeditions across the globe. We really are in this together, from the captain to the officers, crew, expedition staff, and guests. It’s an idea we have fostered since inception.

Expedition travel should be a joyful and wonderous experience for all aboard our ships—a shared one which makes our lives infinitely more interesti ng.

“We call them Epic Voyages because of their scope and the rewards that come with the gift of time.”

I can’t possibly pick a favorite voyage since each destination is uniquely special, but the polar regions as a whole have changed my life dramatically. After exploring Antarctica and remote South Georgia Island, I was eager to see the opposite pole and how the two differ. To go beyond 80° North and witness Svalbard in the spring with its mesmerizing frozen sea and iconic wildlife was an exceptional experience. Antarctica and the Arctic remind us why our world is important and that we need to do what we can to preserve and protect what we love—this Earth and the life that inhabits it.

When my dad passed away in 2020, I wanted to travel in his honor. He wanted me to travel the world while I was young so the day after my 20th birthday I left for Ushuaia, the Gateway to Antarctica, all by myself. I was lucky enough to be on board the brand-new National Geographic Endurance with the company’s founder Sven Lindblad and his wife Kristin who both were so kind and welcoming to me.

It’s impossible to choose a highlight and do it justice. Drifting by the tower ing icy cliffs of the Neumayer Channel, watching an orca with her two calves play around the ship, walking on the ice sheet, and watching the midnight sun with Adélie penguins waddling next to me were each incredible.

This trip profoundly changed me. I got a tattoo of Antarctica when I got home and I have even changed my career path to the adventure tourism industry.

I really enjoyed the National Geographic Global Explorers Program which gave all the kids onboard super cool things like hats, colored pencils, and notebooks that had checklists for nature. I saw 78 different species of mammals, reptiles, fish, plants, and invertebrates! At the end a naturalist grades your Field Notebook and you get a prize. I recommend this vaca tion to everyone!

My favorite experience in the Galápagos was snorkeling. The sea lions were so friendly they swam right next to me!

On the ship, the service for food is great. They remember the drinks you like, and you get ice cream for dessert. I had a blast!

Outside of holidays, it’s rare for a group of our size to spend extended time with one another. So, it was truly the experience of a lifetime to celebrate our brother’s 40th birthday in such a magical, remote place with an intimate and infinite exposure to the landscape. From happy hours recapping the day to flightseeing in Haines and gliding over ever-changing glaciers, every detail big and small was fantastic.

While exploring by Zodiac we gently bumped past floating icebergs as sea lions warmed themselves on floating islands of ice. We watched and listened as the powerful boom of the glacier calving into the water below could be felt from within the boat. A first for everyone in our group, it was an unforgettable time for all of us to share in unison.

New Expeditions, Amenities & More

Introducing Our New Itineraries

The idea for a new expedition can start with a single question: What if we could trace the routes of Atlantic explorers between Brazil and Portugal, or visit the most remote island in the world? The answer, almost always, is, ‘we can.’ I am thrilled to introduce our newest groundbreaking expeditions launching in 2024, along with some exciting new features to enhance your onboard experience, including complimentary bar tabs across the fleet, and a special milestone package to help commemorate your next big event. We are also making a change to the way we present our itinerary dates. Each of these innovations is inspired by our driving mission: to provide you with unforgettable experiences and unparalleled service. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

In northern Europe, delve into Nordic culture in the cosmopolitan cities and storybook fishing hamlets of Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark. Or visit the merchant guilds and market towns of the North Sea, exploring perfectly preserved old towns in places like Bergen and Amsterdam for an in-depth look at the region’s Hanseatic history.

Further south, trace the coastline of the Iberian Peninsula, savor ing Spain’s cultural riches and architectural marvels, including the Alhambra and the Alcázar of Seville. Or set sail aboard the legendary Sea Cloud to discover Mediterranean isles from Mallorca to Malta, exploring the white-washed towns and ancient fortifications that dot the region’s dramatic sea cliffs.

Journey from cape to cape on an expedition that takes you from Ushuaia, Argentina to the far-flung isles of the Falklands, South Georgia, and the seldom-visited Tristan da Cunha before landing on South African shores. Follow the Pacific Ring of Fire from the rugged and remote Aleutian Islands to the ancient Japanese Samurai castles of historic Honshu. Or embark on an epic voyage from Brazil to the Azores that spans nearly 90º of latitude and 9,000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
