Lindblad Expeditions

This week during visit to New Zealand, our team had the profound honor of experiencing a deeply moving Māori welcome ceremony led by Kingi Makoare in Aotearoa, New Zealand.Ngā mihi nui — our deepest thanks — for welcoming us with such generosity, spirit, and heart.

How do you pull off the perfect proposal in Alaska? You just have to coordinate a glacier calving, epic wildlife sightings, and a gorgeous Zodiac ride. 👇 Please join us in congratulating Sean and Meaghan in the comments! 👇

We are proud to celebrate the incredible women across the LEX fleet and shoreside operations who bring our expeditions to life! From the bridge crew, to our naturalists, photographers, and hospitality out in the field, women are at the core of what we do. #WomenInMaritimeDay

With support from the LEX-NG Fund, the Polynesian Voyaging Society is reviving the art and science of traditional wayfinding. Navigators led by @natgeo Explorers retraced ancient routes used by the first Polynesians aboard the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa. @insidenatgeo #AANHPI

A moment of stillness in the heart of Norway. Mary captured this breathtaking view of the fjords on her recent expedition—where dramatic peaks and glassy waters come together in perfect harmony.

Despite their name, Antarctic fur seals are actually a type of eared seal (related to sea lions) and are rarely found on the Antarctic continent itself, preferring the subantarctic islands like South Georgia.

With @InsideNatGeo, we're proud to announce the 2026 #GrosvenorTeacherFellow, bringing together a cohort of 36 educators from across North America who embody the program’s spirit of shaping the planetary stewards of tomorrow through learning, creating, connecting and exploring.

Observation is at the core of expedition travel. Aboard National Geographic Quest, our naturalists are doing more than guiding; they are actively studying and documenting remote environments.

A pioneering legacy, celebrated. 🥂 We’re honored to see our 60-year commitment recognized on the inaugural #TIME100 Companies Industry Leaders list. Thank you to our crew, our naturalists, and our partners at @natgeo for making this possible. lindbladexp.com/4d58HF4

Just another majestic bald eagle sighting in the Pacific Northwest. 🦅😉 Exploring aboard National Geographic Quest in Alaska means embracing the unscripted (and the occasional viking hat). Because afternoons are always better with a crew that delivers hot cocoa via Zodiac.

Spotted from the ship: bald eagles and otters in a feeding frenzy. Captured this week by Rich Kirchner aboard National Geographic Venture, these photos offer a direct look at the high wildlife density found when exploring the waters of British Columbia.

Cross the Pacific and explore some of the most remote islands on the map aboard National Geographic Resolution.

Photographer Bennett Goldberg’s journey through Baja California has been defined by a steady rhythm of observation. Traveling aboard National Geographic Venture, his lens captured the transition from the energy of the water to the quiet stillness of the coastline.

Camouflage level: Expert. 🪨👀 How quickly did you find our sea lion friend ashore? [Photo capture this week aboard National Geographic Islander II by Dennis Ballesteros]

No two days of Galápagos exploration are ever the same. Exploring the incredible density of life in the Galápagos Islands aboard National Geographic Gemini guarantees you’re always just a few steps away from a rare wildlife encounter. #EarthMonth

Our work extends far beyond a single day. #EarthDay is a meaningful moment to reflect on our enduring commitment to the planet. Read our 2025/2026 Traveler Impact Report to see our work in action: lindbladexp.com/4cKxUU1

This week in the Galápagos, guests aboard National Geographic Gemini and National Geographic Islander II were treated to a completely unscripted masterclass in marine and avian life. This is why we explore. 📷: Adrian Vasquez, Javier Carrión, Ramiro Adrian

Known as the polar Serengeti, this is South Georgia. #EarthMonth

East Greenland is a landscape of extremes where enormous mountains rise straight from the sea, colossal icebergs drift past the bow, and the wildlife reminds you who truly rules this environment.
