Spring & Summer Expeditions 2018 by Lindblad Expeditions

SPRING SUMMER HOT SPOTS & COOL DISCOVERIES FOR 2018 TRAVEL

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experiences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe.

DEAR TRAVELER, We respect our heritage, and are proud of our achievements over the past 50 years. But we are focused on the future with considerable excitement and to creating ever-more exceptional experiences for our guests. (We’ve just announced the first new polar vessel in our 50-year history, due to sail in 2020. More details to come). In our 50 years, many changes have happened in travel—where do we, as travelers, seek to go? What do we choose to avoid? Do more of us travel to relax, or to seek inspiration and activity? Do we travel to know more, to feel a greater connection with nature, or to see places that still retain cultural and historical integrity? Perhaps it’s all of the above. Do we choose to travel with our families, our friends, or on our own? I certainly have seen a vastly greater desire for extended community, whether it be the community our guests take with them, or discover in seeking new like-minded others, inevitably drawn, like themselves, to this style of travel. You, undoubtedly, have distinct views on all of these subjects. Over this past half a century, we have developed a deep understanding of what’s possible, and what matters to people—whether it’s exploring the inner reaches of Alaska or Baja California, often referred to as the Mexican Galápagos; discovering a fresh perspective on Polynesia—and what a healthy ocean looks like—aboard the National Geographic Orion; venturing into the impressive wildness of the Amazon River; or steeping in the deep pleasures of the sailing yacht Sea Cloud, a destination in herself.

Our expedition team—from naturalists to captains—does whatever it takes to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. Whether it is posting someone all night to spot for polar bears to get the best chance at a great encounter; finding a way to the right place at the right time to give you a chance to see the Northern Lights; or performing small heroic acts, like transporting a traveler who missed their flight to the Galápagos by private Zodiac to catch up with the embarked National Geographic Islander to ensure their Galápagos experience isn’t missed, our team does what it takes for guests. So, please join us as we head out during the finest seasons for travel—to explore and experience the world’s wonders in full. All the best,

WILD & PURE POLYNESIA

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

Go where few have gone, where fewer can, and far beyond any stereotypical destinations—our five exclusive itineraries explore Polynesia’s most alluring, and least accessible, regions. And each one focuses on different rewarding facets: History and the daring exploits of explorers. Diverse, thriving cultures radically different from our own. The greatest mystery on Earth, Easter Island. Astonishing flora and fauna. And the most intact, pristine undersea on the planet. Choose any one, and you choose wisely and well.

THE ARCTIC & ICELAND

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

Grand in scale, the Arctic’s sky, mountains, fjords, and expanses of ice are magnificent, bigger than big. It has fired the imagination of explorers for centuries. Tantalizingly blank, the Arctic is one of the last regions to have eluded the Google Earth cartographers: you can search but little results. It remains a geography that insists on being discovered in person. Venture to Iceland with us and you’ll see what you want to, and what you never imagined. Plan to genuinely experience Iceland, not its tourist hordes.

Kayakers off Svalbard’s pristine coast.

“I found Svalbard thrilling on many levels. There is the sheer exhilaration of being above 80 degrees North—just hundreds of miles from the North Pole—and watching the sun circling well above the horizon 24 hours a day. For lovers of ice and Antarctica, Svalbard offers the same starkly beautiful vistas of massive glaciers, ice caps, and mountains. And Svalbard boasts something that Antarctica doesn’t—at least four centuries of human exploration.” —Fen Montaigne

“Greenland is one of the few places on Earth where you can go to see rock from the early days of the planet, more than four billion years old. The jagged mountains of Svalbard are ancient as well. Then contrast them to Iceland, where new land is being created with active volcanoes. And the geology is made all the more spectacular, raw and sharpedged by the relentless erosion of the glaciers. It is as close as you will ever get to being on another planet.” —Michael Wysession, Professor and Author

“‘Many of the grays of Baja’ Frohoff told me, ‘treat their days of birthing and nursing there as a kind of protracted coming-out party. It’s extraordinary’ she said. ‘At precisely the time when you’d expect them to be the most defensive, they’re incredibly social. They’ll come right up to boats, let people touch their faces, give them massages, rub their mouths and tongues.’”

—Toni Frohoff, Whale Behaviorist, from “Watching Whales Watching Us,” New York Times Magazine, by Charles Siebert

Waiting in North America’s upper western reaches are myriad possibilities—to encounter a wealth of wildlife, to delve into storied pasts, to explore geologic marvels, and to benefit from the tonic of wildness.

Payment is accepted by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or by check. Receipt of your initial payment indicates your acceptance of our complete Terms and Conditions. We require written notice at the time of reservation for any physical condition, diet, or treatment requiring special attention. Once your reservation is confirmed, we urge you to use your personalized online account for important information to help you prepare for your voyage. Managing your documents online will facilitate fast and accurate communication, and allow you to provide us with pertinent details we require, in order to complete your reservation.

Final Payment: For expeditions aboard all ships with the exception of Explorer and Orion, final payment is due 90 days prior to departure.

Entry and Visa Requirements: All guests are advised to verify travel documents (passport/transit visa/entry visa) for the country through which they are transiting and/or entering. Reliable and most current information regarding international travel can be found by contacting the consulate/ embassy of the country(s) you are visiting or transiting through.

Under normal conditions, the total expedition cost is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, the published price is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event we determine that current costs create an unsustainable financial model, including but not limited to increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to pass on these costs to you, to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide a transparent accounting of the reason for such an increase in costs.
