Lindblad Expeditions–National Geographic

Expeditions at the edge of the world

Lindblad pioneered expedition travel, and its partnership with National Geographic still defines the genre. Purpose-built polar ships carry just over a hundred guests alongside naturalists, undersea specialists, and Nat Geo photographers. From more Antarctic departures than any operator to the wildlife of the Galápagos, this is exploration with the experts who wrote the field guide.
