Dear Traveler,

I’m pleased to announce that for the first time since March of 2020, our entire fleet is back on the water, taking guests to the far corners of our planet on vessels that feature between just 14 and 81 cabins with plenty of solo cabins on many of them. Our ships are, of course, not the only vessels out at sea these days—recently, there has been an explosion of new ships entering the expedition cruise world.

It’s probably not much debated among people familiar with the expedition cruise niche that Lindblad Expeditions has the most experienced expedition teams and mariners in the world, and that’s because we have been exclusively engaged in expedition travel for over half a century. Naturally, in this time, we have learned a great deal about geography, weather conditions, and what works and doesn’t work. These elements all contribute to the value of your expedition—but one of the most significant factors in your experience is the size of the vessel you travel on.

When you look through these pages, you will find all kinds of ships. What they have in common is that each carries a relatively small number of guests. When we contemplate building, acquiring, or chartering a ship, we think about where it’s going and what its purpose is, and guest capacity is a critical part of the conversation. Captains, expedition leaders, naturalists, engineers, and executives all weigh in to determine a limit that allows us to use your time well, safely and enjoyably manage a variety of activities, and ensure that our presence is not intrusive.

Of course, cost is the downside to a smaller number of guests. If you build ships with two, three or four times the carrying capacity of our ships, they are more

economical; however, that creates another kind of cost, diluting the value of time—more people, more waiting, less time exploring your destination. Ultimately, you must make your own value judgment on the cost. Size and expedition excellence is not all we focus on—our ships are rather elegant as well, providing wonderful food, exceptional comfort, and a decades-long commitment to providing the highest level of service.

In the following pages you can explore an almost dizzying array of uniquely immersive voyages around the world. Regardless of where you choose to explore, what I promise is that we are laser focused on you—your aspirations and your time. We understand deeply what it takes to create meaningful expeditions, while at the same time seeking out creative and effective ways to be good stewards of our planet.

Although I have been the CEO of this company for more than 40 years, my first two decades combined that role with the responsibilities of an expedition leader. I feel so good about our rootedness; our teams; our collective enthusiasm; our love for nature, culture, and history; and above all our principles, the first one being: ensure that everything we do adds value to the guest experience.

I hope you choose to join us out there soon.

Sincerely,

Sven-Olof Lindblad

Iceland With the Family: The Ultimate Expedition Experience

Nurturing Young Explorers

Join us on a summer departure of A Circumnavigation of Iceland or Wild Iceland Escape and your kids and teens can participate in an interactive program that teaches young travelers 18 and under how to explore like scientists and tell the stories of their surroundings through photographs, videos, drawings, and more. Throughout their journey, they are led by certified field educators— inspiring mentors who help them connect with nature in a deeper way, sending them home with a newfound passion for the planet that lasts a lifetime.

Exploration for Every Generation

In 2024, we are offering additional departures of A Circumnavigation of Iceland and Wild Iceland Escape to accommodate more multi-generational families. These expeditions have something for everyone: the grade schooler fascinated by Vikings and Icelandic folklore, the teenager or college grad with a newfound interest in the climate sciences, the grandparent who wants to watch for puffins. Each voyage offers a range of activities, from leisurely photo walks along volcanic beaches to vigorous waterfall hikes and 4x4 rides through the remote highlands. Whichever way you choose to explore, you will discover fascinating places as a family and bond over the memories of your expedition for years to come.

Discover Iceland With Ease

The wilds of Iceland are easier to access than ever before, with a host of nonstop flights to and from cities across the United States. Fly from the eastern seaboard to Reykjavík in just over five hours and find yourself in an otherworldly realm of glistening glaciers and gushing geysers. Exploring aboard our fleet, you’ll enjoy the added ease of unpacking once and letting us take you from one destination to the next, along wild coastlines brimming with natural wonders.

Enhancing Your Expedition Experience

Your passion for exploration inspires us to seek out new ways to enhance your travel experience—from upgrading our amenities and expedition ships to designing new journeys in destinations you long to discover.

Suite Exclusives

Our new Suite Exclusives package gives guests staying in eligible cabins access to an array of amenities designed to enhance your on-board experience, including priority booking for spa treatments and igloo stays (on select ships), an in-room espresso maker, complimentary laundry, and other exclusive perks.

Enhancements to Our Polar Fleet

We are thrilled to announce that our popular polar sister ships, National Geographic Endurance and National Geographic Resolution, have each been outfitted with additional cabins to accommodate more travelers. Now, up to 138 guests can sail aboard these in-demand vessels in epic destinations from Antarctica to Greenland and beyond.

National Geographic Explorer has also debuted a new look. Her suites were recently enhanced with the sleek, Scandinavian design that has become the hallmark of our polar fleet, as well as Command Centers that allow guests to explore from the comfort of their cabins with a curated set of exploration tools.

Stay Connected With Starlink

Get your Wi-Fi connection at sea with Starlink, the world’s largest satellite constellation. This year we are rolling out Starlink across our fleet of expedition ships. Starlink will provide a more reliable internet connection and better coverage on our remote itineraries.

Cheers! On-Board Beverages Celebrate

There’s no better way to kick off a voyage than with a glass of bubbly or a cocktail. Make that drink one that speaks to your destination and you’ve just elevated your entire travel experience. With new beverage perks—including unlimited alcoholic drinks across the entire fleet beginning in 2024*—as well as immersive culinary experiences, Lindblad Expeditions is giving travelers more reason than ever to raise a toast.

Each evening on expedition, when you gather for a recap of the day’s adventures, you can look forward to a specially crafted cocktail—full strength or zeroproof—that your bartender has dreamed up as a nod to your travel region. That might mean toasting with a gin and tonic off the Cornish coast, sipping a zeroproof highball that captures the color of a famous iceberg, or savoring a sparkling drink made with local fruits. That destination-driven ethos extends to each ship’s wine and beer selection, which features local bottles and draughts wherever possible.

Guests can also enjoy singular experiences on and off ship that highlight local beverages. On-board beer, wine, and spirit tastings are a favorite no matter the destination. Shore excursions, meanwhile, offer a firsthand look at a region’s wineries and distilleries, and a chance to meet with passionate local experts. Guests in Alaska, for instance, can visit the pint-sized Port Chilkoot Distillery and learn how the pure tasting notes of local spring water give their vodka its ultra-clean finish.

Sustainability is always a consideration for Lindblad Expeditions, and the beverages served are no exception. “We find spirits that speak to our mission,” says Ana Esteves, Vice President of Hotel Operations. On West Coast itineraries, you may encounter Gothic Gin, which partners with conservation groups like Fins Attached. “They give to the whale and research communities—we know that every bottle we’re buying contributes to a good cause,” says Esteves.

Dynamic culinary experiences, too, offer a chance for thoughtful pairings. On the National Geographic Resolution and National Geographic Enduranc e, special dinners delve into the history of exploration through a refined seven-course tasting menu, complete with two wine pairings from local or sustainably minded growers. Finish your meal with a nightcap that nods to the theme of the evening—on the National Geographic Endurance , which takes its name from Ernest Shackleton’s ship, you might sip a whiskey-based drink and learn how whiskey was both a vital tool and welcome indulgence for early polar explorers fighting the bitter cold.

*Super-premium wines and spirits are available for an additional charge.

Expedition Cruising for Solo Travelers

If setting out solo to a place like Australia orthe Galápagos seems intimidating, an expedition cruise could be your answer. Step aboard the Lindblad Expeditions fl eet and become part of a welcoming family of like-minded travelers and engaging experts driven by a passion for exploration.

Why are expedition cruises a good fit for solo travelers?

Expedition cruises offer the opportunity to explore alongside people who share your curiosity about the world. Travelers are excited to get to know one another—it’s part of the instinct for discovery that brought them on board. And yet, there is enough flexibility to do your own thing when you feel inclined.

What happens when travelers arrive in the departure city?

You are taken care of from the time you touch down in your embarkation city to the moment you are returned back to the airport. We can work with you to book the most direct flights, and once you arrive at your destination, a Lindblad representative will be waiting to escort you to the next leg of your journey.

How does the dining experience work?

The dining room has an open seating policy, meaning you’ll never have to eat alone—unless, of course, you choose to. Simply pick a table you would like to join. Maybe find a familiar face from the day’s Zodiac outing or sit with your favorite naturalist.

Can you participate in all activities if you’re a solo traveler?

Daily adventures are designed to be flexible and inclusive for every guest. In fact, couples or families sometimes split up to pursue their individual interests, so there are often several travelers looking for a kayak partner or a snorkeling buddy.

Do solo travelers stay in single cabins or can they share with other guests?

All our ships have options for solo travelers. Some vessels feature dedicated solo cabins, while on others you might stay alone in a double cabin. If you are looking to share accommodations, let our Expedition Specialists know when you call to make your reservation.

What are some of the best trips for solo travelers?

All of our expeditions provide a rewarding experience for the solo traveler. Choose a trip based on the destination that fascinates you, knowing that the rest will fall into place. Each voyage is an opportunity to experience something outside your comfort zone within a completely safe and friendly community.

A Life at Sea With Captain Heidi Norling

“I will always want to be close to the sea,” declares Captain Heidi Norling. In the decades since graduating from maritime academy, she has realized this dream, moving up the ranks of cargo ships, ferries, and passenger vessels before achieving the role of Captain of National Geographic Resolution. Here, Captain Norling shares her journey as a mariner and how she became the first female captain for the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet.

When did you fall in love with the ocean?

When I was growing up in Sweden, my father had a small sailing boat for the archipelago. He would say, ‘We don't need charts. I know this water.’ And then, boom—we would run aground. After that, the two of us took an evening class on maritime navigation, where I learned about nautical chart projections and navigational chart symbols. I was drawn to the freedom of being out on the water.

How did your career begin?

After attending the Kalmar Maritime Academy, I worked cargo ships. My first big captain opportunity was for a ferry in the Baltic Sea. That’s where I saw my dream ship: National Geographic Orion. I called the ship’s captain, Martin Graser, and he offered me the job of staff captain. When Captain Graser left National Geographic Orion, I became captain.

What led you to National Geographic Resolution ?

I was still working on National Geographic Orion when I received the call to be second captain—and the godmother—of National Geographic Resolution . It was an incredible offer to come to a completely new, tailor-made ship—and I got to attend the ship’s christening in Antarctica.

In layman’s terms, how does National Geographic Resolution ’s technology facilitate expeditions?

National Geographic Resolution is a powerful ship designed for polar expeditions. She has Azipod propulsion, meaning two propellers at the stern can turn the ship 360 degrees around her own axis. This is especially useful in icy waters.

Captains Heidi Norling and Martin Graser at the christening of the National Geographic Resolution in Antarctica.

How are small-ship expeditions different from other forms of travel?

There is more freedom, which leads to more adventure. If wildlife is spotted, for example, we have the fl exibility to stop the ship. Given the small, nimble scale of our vessels, we can get close to the shore and access narrow, more remote passages.

In your role as captain, how do you hope to inspire younger women?

At first, I didn’t think about this because I grew up in Sweden, where no one says you can’t do something because you’re a woman. Then I met an eight-yearold girl who couldn’t believe I was a navigational officer—she said, ‘but you’re a woman.’ I realized it’s good to be visible so people know that women can do this job too.

The World’s Most Dynamic Expedition Fleet

The Lindblad Expeditions fleet comprises ten expedition vessels and seven seasonally chartered ships, each embodying its own unique spirit of exploration. From intrepid vessels built to inspire a sense of adventure, to a four-masted ship that evokes the splendor of a bygone era, and a pair of state-of-the-art ice class vessels that feature extraordinary installations of original artwork inspired by the polar regions, the ships in our fleet are as diverse and dynamic as the places we explore. While their offerings are varied, key features unite our vessels: comfortable, well-appointed cabins; lively social spaces designed to foster a sense of community; cutting-edge exploration tools; and ship capacities that never exceed 81 cabins. Read on to learn more about the exhilarating experiences each of our ships has to offer.
