Experience Authentic & Immer sive Exploration

with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic

A Dynamic Expedition Fleet

The small, nimble vessels in the Lindblad ExpeditionsNational Geographic fl eet were designed to take travelers to the world’s most remote places, from Alaska to the Azores, inviting discovery in spots far beyond the docks where tourists congregate. Each ship is outfi tted with kayaks, stand-up 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.

We also off er expeditions on a selection of elegantly appointed vessels, fully chartered for a private experience. Guests will enjoy Lindblad ExpeditionsNational Geographic programming aboard ships that are perfectly paired with their surroundings. Gaze at the Amazon from the teak decks and interiors of Delfi n II or sail the Mediterranean aboard the stunning four-masted Sea Cloud as you become immersed in the splendor of a bygone era.
