National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions

The National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions Difference. Connecting the Curious to the Incredible.

1. Our small ships go where others can’t. With more than 20 small ships, our fleet is the largest and most versatile in expedition cruising. Capacity never exceeds 154 guests, and each vessel is equipped to explore its destination.

2. Expert guides, handpicked for each destination. Our captains, expedition leaders and naturalist guides are the best in the industry, with 110+ team members contributing a decade or more of fleet experience.

3. In-depth photography programme. National Geographic photographers join select expeditions, and a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions certified photo instructor joins every departure, helping guests hone their camera skills in captivating places.

4. An immersive onboard experience. Guests engage with naturalists and undersea specialists through daily recaps and real-time insights. With open bridge access and meaningful citizen science projects guided by National Geographic Explorers and visiting scientists on select departures, travellers get an up-close look at their surroundings.

5. Discovery-based fun. Through our exclusive National Geographic Explorers-in-Training programme, available on select departures, kids and teens explore alongside certified field educators and learn to tell the stories of their surroundings.
