Experience Authentic and Immersive Exploration

Over the course of a nearly 20-year partnership, Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have created meaningful travel experiences that foster a passion for the planet and its people. From the moment you join one of our tall-ship expeditions, you access all the resources that stem from this shared legacy of discovery.

Elegant Ships Befit for Celebrated Ports

Certain destinations are best discovered aboard bespoke vessels that evoke the splendor of their historic ports of call. For voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, we travel aboard elegant tall ships from the Sea Cloud fleet—traditional squareriggers that harken back to the Golden Age of Sail. Whether you board the historic Sea Cloud or her modern counterpart, Sea Cloud II, you will experience all the glamor and thrill of traveling with the winds as they fill the ship’s sails. With a group size that never exceeds 58 guests on Sea Cloud and 88 guests on Sea Cloud II, the atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, inviting complete immersion in a sailing experience of yesteryear.

Travel With the Most Experienced Team

Explore with an expedition team devoted to ensuring you have unforgettable and enlightening experiences: historians who give context to seaside castles and fortifications, cultural experts who interpret celebrated culinary traditions, archaeologists who bring the ruins of antiquity to life. Many of our veteran guides live in the destinations we visit and have worked with us for decades. On select departures, you will also be joined by fascinating guest speakers—including National Geographic Experts—who offer new layers of insight into the places we explore.
