PIONEERING EXPEDITIONS SINCE 1966

National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions

The alliance of world-renowned exploration and maritime expertise. Discover the Galápagos, Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Amazon alongside National Geographic photographers and undersea specialists.

THE ALLIANCE FOR DISCOVERY

A Wildlife Safari on the Water

Lars-Eric Lindblad led the first non-scientific traveler to Antarctica in 1966 and the Galápagos in 1967, establishing the field of eco-tourism and expedition cruising. Today, the strategic alliance between Lindblad Expeditions and the National Geographic Society represents the pinnacle of wildlife exploration by sea.

Aboard purpose-built expedition ships carrying between 28 and 148 guests, you explore uncharted coves and marine reserves. Every departure is staffed by a dedicated expedition team of marine biologists, naturalists, and a National Geographic Certified Photo Instructor who provides hands-on camera instruction in the field.

“We don't just view wildlife from a balcony—we launch Zodiacs, drop hydrophones to listen to killer whale calls, and snorkel alongside sea lions.”
