Lindblad Expeditions

"The Arctic is a realm of profound silence and startling beauty, a place where the ice tells a story of both power and vulnerability. These postcards, by Joshua Vela aboard National Geographic Resolution, remind us of the wonder of these wild places." - Sven Lindblad

For 60 years, we’ve believed exploration should do more: bring guests closer to the natural world while deepening our understanding of it. For Juan Sebastian, our Hotel Director, that comes to life in the moments guests remember most.

"When I travel, I'm chasing a feeling — it's a mix of awe in the moment and the nostalgia I know I'll feel looking back years later." 🌍 Nicole Thornton — Senior Director of Expedition Development #WomensHistoryMonth

This just in from Antarctica! National Geographic Explorer Dr. Holly Fearnbach recently kicked off #WomensHistoryMonth with an incredibly successful field season as part of our Visiting Scientist program aboard National Geographic Explorer.

Some places you have to see to believe. #Antarctica is one of them. 🇦🇶These postcards from Michael George attempt to capture the otherworldly from aboard #NationalGeographic Endurance.

She made history seven years ago becoming the first female captain in the our fleet. Today, she commands National Geographic Resolution through some of the planet's most remote waters; the same wild places that drew her to the sea in the first place. #WomensHistoryMonth #IWD2026

This #InternationalWomensDay, we are beyond proud to celebrate the boundary-breaking women who lead, teach, and explore at home and at the edges of the earth. #IWD2026.

"You'd never imagine that a desert would be so full of life." 🐬 Aboard National Geographic Venture, Brady Clarke captures Baja California exactly as it is — with rustic cliffs giving way to basking sea lions, and gray whales surfacing close enough to take your breath away.

Baja California, where the desert meets the sea.🌵Just south of the US lies this remarkable region, a place that remains one of the world’s true wild wonders, both above and below the surface.

In 2025, National Geographic Pristine Seas made waves toward the global goal of protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 with the support of partners and funders, including the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Fund.

Breaking! More than 150 locally extinct giant tortoises were released into the wild in the Galápagos! This is thanks in part to the Jocotoco Conservation Foundation, Island Conservation and @darwinfound and supported in part by the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Fund.

A recent morning of discovery on Isabela Island with naturalist Vanessa Gallo aboard National Geographic Endeavour II. Whether we are exploring volcanic shores or relaxing in the comfort of the ship, there is constant, unscripted magic that defines the Galápagos experience.

Navigating the lush waterways of Panama with Steve Morello aboard National Geographic Quest. From rare tropical bird sightings to the vibrant life along the coast, our naturalists bring the intricate details of the natural world into sharp focus.

This week, for International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we proudly welcomed National Geographic Explorer and Visiting Scientist Dr. Holly Fearnbach back aboard National Geographic Explorer for another season of whale research in Antarctica.

“Baja California, a spectacular place where desert meets the sea. A place I have come to year after year since 1977, a place that always surprises, a place so close yet still so wild.” — Sven Lindblad

Take nothing but photos. Leave nothing but footprints.👣
