Experience Authentic and Immersive Exploration

Ultimate Polar Expedition Ships

The purpose-built polar ships in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet set course for the top and bottom of the globe, outfitted with supremely comfortable accommodations and first-rate exploration tools. With a top-tier ice-class rating, each vessel embodies the expertise developed throughout our more than 55 years of exploring these regions. Our powerful yet intimately scaled ships bring you directly—and safely—into the heart of Earth’s icy wildernesses and allow you to experience them in unique and immersive ways.

A Veteran Team

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

of subjects like geology, wildlife biology, and life and climate sciences. They, along with the guest speakers who join us onboard, give rich context to the landscapes and cultures we encounter ashore.

Take Great Photos With the Pros

A National Geographic Photography Expert and a Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic certified photo instructor (CPI) join each voyage to assist travelers with everything from camera settings to composition. Every guest—from iPhone camera users to advanced hobbyists—can stand side by side with top photographers, pick up tips in the field, and return home with the photos of a lifetime. With the complimentary OM System Photo Gear Locker, you can field test new lenses, camera bodies, and more.

Actively Explore Every Day

Our polar itineraries feature a range of activities designed to immerse you in your destination. Paddle a kayak past a glittering iceberg, hike across otherworldly lava fields, or stroll along shorelines dotted with colorful fishing villages. No matter the destination, you will be able to explore your way— and at your own pace—every day.

Developing Young Explorers

The National Geographic Global Explorers Program is an exclusive educational adventure for guests under 18 traveling on select voyages, including Journey to Antarctica: The White Continent. Certified field educators use the natural world as a classroom to help kids hone their observation skills and share their experiences through photographs, videos, drawings, and more. With a range of activities to choose from, such as identifying whale flukes or earning their Zodiac license, kids can pursue their own interests, whether it’s marine biology, geology, or photography.

In-Depth Undersea Program

As part of our in-depth undersea program, developed in partnership with National Geographic, an undersea specialist uses

a high-definition video camera and deploys a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that allows us to peer through steely polar waters—up to 1,000 feet beneath the surface. Footage is shared during daily recaps, inviting guests to witness surprising and unexpectedly colorful sea life from the comfort of our ship.

Commitment to Conservation

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission, and you can travel with peace of mind, knowing every voyage gives back to the places we explore through the Lindblad-National Geographic Fund, dedicated to the preservation of the planet and its habitats. We also spearhead initiatives like the Visiting Science Program, which invites researchers to conduct conservation projects from aboard our ships. Ongoing projects include a whale observation survey, a study on the impact of snow algae blooms on Antarctic ice melt, and more.

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

The Arctic vs.

An Ocean Surrounded by Continents

North Pole Sea Ice

Sea ice is not as mobile and tends to stay in the cold Arctic waters. Floes are more prone to converge and pile up into ridges, creating thicker ice.

People & Population

More than 4 million people call the Arctic home, including a diverse mix of indigenous cultures and communities.

Temperatures

Coldest: -93.9°, recorded Dec. 1991

Hottest: 100.4°F, recorded June 2020

Summer Average: 25°F to 44°F

Many terrestrial mammals thrive here.

Antarctica

A Continent Surrounded by Oceans

South Pole Sea Ice

Sea ice moves more freely so it doesn’t have a chance to grow as thick. It reaches higher drift speeds and can float northward where it eventually melts.

People & Population

There are no indigenous inhabitants in Antarctica, just the permanent and summer-only staff residing at research stations on the peninsula.

No terrestrial mammals live here.

Temperatures

Coldest: -128.6° F, recorded July 1983

Hottest: 64.9° F, recorded Feb. 2020

Summer Average: 24°F to 40°F

Life Onboard

Each ship in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet is a destination in its own right, featuring superior amenities and cultural experiences to ensure that your time onboard is equally rewarding as your time on shore. Every aspect of your experience aboard our fleet is an opportunity to connect with and celebrate the places you explore—from the polar-inspired art in our roving galleries to the culinary delights and soothing spa treatments sourced from our surroundings.

Savor the Flavors of Your Destination

Sampling local cuisine is a highlight of any voyage, and we take great care to bring the flavors of your Arctic destinations to the meals you enjoy onboard. Our executive chefs design unique and innovative menus that feature sustainably sourced dishes from or inspired by the regions you visit, as well as wine pairings and guided tastings to enhance your culinary experience. Special onshore culinary experiences, like a mussels tasting on Cape Breton and a visit to an Icelandic farm, invite guests to forge even deeper connections with local culinary traditions.

The Art of Expedition Travel

Our ship interiors tell the stories of the Arctic and Antarctica from a different angle—through the eyes of artists who find inspiration in the ice. Artist Zaria Forman curated the first-ever ship-based exhibitions of visual and auditory works, created to express the fragile beauty of the polar regions. Stroll the corridors and shared spaces of National Geographic Endurance or National Geographic Resolution on a guided walk to explore how the evocative paintings, photographs, soundscapes, and other artworks reflect your surroundings. To learn more, visit expeditions.com/art

Indulge in Our Wellness Program

Greet the day with a sunrise yoga session or unwind in the spa with a massage, serenaded by the sound of soothing waves. Our dedicated wellness spaces—including treatment rooms, saunas, fitness centers, and more—encourage travelers to tap into the natural rhythms of their surroundings. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs, and each of our fully accredited wellness specialists is also a licensed massage therapist.

“

By showing viewers the beauty of these remote places, I hope to inspire people to help preserve them.” —Zaria Forman

Information about which option is available to you after you book in your online documents portal along with sizing.

Choosing Your Arctic Adventure

Stretching across the top of the globe and touching eight countries, the Arctic is rife with opportunity for every type of explorer, whether you seek iconic wildlife, epic icescapes, or enriching encounters with cultures of the far north. Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic offers 19 itineraries in this remote part of the world, each providing a unique point of view on the region. Here are some highlights from the areas we explore to help you decide which Arctic expedition is the best fit for your interests.

Svalbard & Norway—Set Out on an Arctic Safari

With vast ice floes and snowy shorelines that are as wild as the Serengeti, Svalbard offers a unique opportunity for animal lovers. Watch for walruses and seals, hike the tundra in search of reindeer, and seek out the icon of the Arctic—the polar bear. On a journey through the Norwegian fjords, cruise and kayak beneath soaring cliffs and tumbling cascades. With its epic wildlife, stunning landscapes, and endless light from the midnight sun, this region is also a dream destination for photographers.

Best for: epic wildlife, iconic scenery, photography

Iceland & Isles—Adventures Amid the Living Earth

In Iceland—home to gushing geysers, sliding ice sheets, and vast, lunar-like lava fields—there are a multitude of ways to interact with the living Earth. Take a Zodiac cruise through a basalt cave, hike the base of a fjord to a thundering waterfall, or stroll sea cliffs aflutter with gannets and puffins. On these shorelines, as well as in the nearby Faroe Islands, explore the cultural threads that link the ancient Vikings to modern-day Arctic communities, and enjoy the Icelandic musicians and guest speakers who join us onboard to bring local traditions to life.

Best for: geology, birdlife, Viking history

Greenland—Encounter Epic Ice and Inuit Culture

The quintessential Arctic destination, Greenland’s icescapes glitter in a dazzling tableau of iridescent icebergs and calving glaciers that we explore by kayak, Zodiac, and on foot. Enjoy backcountry hiking and forging your own trail through the Greenlandic tundra to waterfalls, overlooks, and ice-choked bays. Go beyond the country’s icy surface to experience cultural encounters in Inuit communities that thrive amid the extreme conditions at the top of the world. Depending on the time of year, there may also be the opportunity to watch the northern lights paint the night sky with their neon waves.

Best for: big ice, Arctic culture, northern lights

Canada—Trace the Legacy of Arctic Exploration

Canada plays host to one of the planet’s most legendary expeditions: a journey along the fabled Northwest Passage. This voyage is for the explorer who seeks seldom-seen lands, as well as the mythic creatures that flock to their pristine waters and shores—polar bears, walruses, belugas, and maybe even elusive narwhals. Further south, along the rocky coasts of the maritime regions, we see a different side of Arctic exploration: traces of the peoples who settled these shorelines. Discover Viking villages, a Moravian mission, and other historical relics in a once-popular landing spot for westward voyagers.

Best for: exploration history, rare wildlife, maritime culture

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

Svalbard & Norway

Feel the lure of the North Pole in magnetic Svalbard, where snow-clad peaks and ice-checkered waters frame one of the planet’s northernmost archipelagos. Polar bears outnumber people on this icy frontier, which is one of the best places on the planet to spot the majestic symbol of the Arctic in its natural habitat. To Svalbard’s south lies another iconic sight: Norway’s deeply carved fjord lands, filled with lush green hillsides, wildflowers and glacial lakes.

Lofoten Islands.

It’s a Bird’s World on Bear Island

When naturalist Michael S. Nolan approached Norway’s Bjørnøya (Bear Island) in a Zodiac for the first time, it wasn’t a polar bear that caught his attention, but thousands of birds perched on the towering cliffs—and even more flying overhead. “It’s as if there are more birds than air for them to fly in,” he says. Nolan has since returned five times with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic. Here, he shares some impressions from his visits.

A Nature Lover’s Dream

“Bear Island is a very remote place, hundreds of miles from anywhere. As you approach from the south, you see 500-million-year-old cliffs rising dramatically out of the ocean, sea stacks resembling giant sculptures, and stepped terraces where seabirds congregate. Fog often hovers, creating a mythical, moody atmosphere. Birds fill the sky and the sea in a cacophony of sound and motion.

The common mure and thick-billed murre make up about a third of the roughly one million birds on the island. There are around 200,000 black-legged kittiwakes. The rest are little auks, purple sandpipers, or northern fulmars.

The island’s magical sea caves offer a reprieve from the constant whirling outside. It’s a 300-meter run through silence, and the moment you emerge, you’re surrounded by birds again.”

The Best Season to Visit

“Breeding season runs from May into July. During these months, Bear Island is a critical breeding area for six or seven different bird species. They arrive in droves and their sole objective is to get a single egg fledged.

The spectacle can be joyously overwhelming, even for a non-birder. Witnessing the profusion of wildlife as you weave through sea arches is amazing. It really is one of the best places in the world for a Zodiac tour.”

Choosing Your Antarctic Adventure

The world’s oldest and coldest continent holds unmistakable allure for explorers, but with extra time to venture beyond Antarctica, secrets of the region emerge in lesser-known places like South Georgia, the Falklands, and remote Patagonian coastlines. Discover the wonders of the White Continent—as well as the wild isles and shorelines of the South Atlantic—in the combination that best suits your interests.

Antarctica—The Ultimate Polar Journey

Antarctica is the ideal destination for the wildlife-lover, the continent collector, the aspiring photographer—or any traveler who seeks an awe-inspiring and otherworldly travel experience. On our journey to the ends of the Earth, discover kingdoms of sculpted ice by kayak, Zodiac, and on foot, and encounter creatures both iconic and surprising, from breaching whales and charming penguins to vibrant undersea life captured on film by our ROV.

Best for: big ice, photography, remote wildlife

South Georgia—Shackleton’s Stomping Grounds

Colossal wildlife colonies await along the shores of South Georgia, where we walk amid rookeries of rockhopper and gentoo penguins, trek through tussock grasses in search of wandering albatross, and encounter 100,000 stately king penguins on a single beach. The island also claims a piece of polar glory as the site for the final leg of Ernest Shackleton’s historic Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Follow in the footsteps of “the Boss” and toast him at his final resting place near the Grytviken whaling station.

Best for: epic wildlife colonies, exploration history

The Falkland Islands—A Bastion of British Culture

Despite great distance between the two archipelagos, signs of the British Isles can be found throughout the Falklands, home to windswept moors, sheep-dotted pastures, and the pioneering outpost of Port Stanley— complete with a cathedral and brightly colored Victorian houses. Venture beyond the islands’ tamer parts and you will quickly see their wild South Atlantic side, including beaches filled with rockhopper penguins and elephant seals, and the world’s largest black-browed albatross colony.

Best for: cultural encounters, birdlife

Patagonia—Rugged Fjord Lands and Rare Wildlife

The Chilean fjord lands form a maze of soaring granite still shaped by active glaciers, and our small ships deftly navigate the narrow channels to bring travelers deep into this geological labyrinth. Witness the ice at work in Glacier Alley, where five tidewater glaciers calve iridescent chunks into the mirrored water. Wildlife-lovers will find a menagerie of rare and reclusive species that have adapted to these extreme surroundings, from thriving populations of Andean condors to prowling pumas and camel-like guanacos.

Best for: geology, rare wildlife, spectacular scenery

Self-Disinfecting Ships

Lindblad Expeditions became the first self-disinfecting fleet with the rollout of the ACT CleanCoat™ system in 2019. This photocatalytic cleaning process activates when illuminated, continuously breaking down unwanted microbes such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and airborne allergens. The positive environmental impacts of this non-toxic, chemical-free system are many: less plastic in the supply chain and waste stream, and more than one million gallons of water saved annually. The system lowers our carbon footprint and creates a cleaner, healthier shipboard environment for guests and crew alike.

Private Charter

A private charter with Lindblad Expeditions offers an exclusive and intimate experience. Whether you plan to host a board meeting, refresh an existing incentive program, or organize a ‘Friends & Family’ reunion, a Lindblad charter is a perfect opportunity to create an undeniable bond with your group. Our intimately-scaled expedition ships allow us to offer authentic, up-close experiences to the planet’s wild, remote places and capitals of culture.
