Explorations 2022-25 (Australia)

Explorations

Dear Traveller,

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 o er 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 snorkelling 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 Sta for Lindblad Expeditions, explains what we mean when we say ‘active exploration’ and how this unique and customisable 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. Finally, our founder, Sven Lindblad, reflects on the special allure of “epic” voyages: extended journeys that evoke the spirit of history’s legendary expeditions.

I hope that these perspectives from our experts o er 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 travellers to the world’s wildest and most remote destinations. Come aboard and experience the di erence of travelling with us.

The Ultimate Expedition Fleet

The nimble and compact vessels in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet were designed to take travellers 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 cutting-edge 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 sta working behind the scenes—is committed to ensuring our guests have an unforgettable experience. Many are veteran guides who have worked with us for

Geographic Difference

decades, 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 maximise 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 smouldering 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 French Polynesia 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 licence.

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 Sta , 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 maximise 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.

Shaun Powell in fast ice on the coast of Greenland.

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 sta help di erentiate an expedition from a cruise?

On an expedition you have the advantage of the team that is travelling 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 di erent purposes. On an interpersonal

level, it allows you to get to know everyone onboard. We are also able to maximise 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

Tips from National Geographic Photography Expert Ralph Lee Hopkins

Ralph Lee Hopkins has circled the globe for nearly 30 years with Lindblad Expeditions, teaching travellers 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 ord 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 travellers are now using their smartphones to photograph

Be Ready for Action

Capturing wildlife behaviour 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.

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.

Sven Lindblad on a Zodiac cruise in Antarctica.

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 journey, 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 endeavour, 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 o cers, crew, expedition sta , and guests. It’s an idea we have fostered since inception. Expedition travel should be a joyful and wondrous 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.”
