With more than 20 small ships, the National GeographicLindblad Expeditions fleet is the largest and most versatile in expedition cruising. Each vessel was designed to take you deeper into the planet’s most remote places using sustainable fuels and emerging technologies that optimize efficiency. Beautifully designed charters bring you to historic ports and legendary rivers, inviting you to explore them in unique ways.

National Geographic photographers have spent decades traveling the globe, capturing the world’s most impactful images. They join select expeditions, and a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions certified photo instructor joins every departure, helping travelers hone their camera skills in captivating places.

Available in select destinations, the National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program nurtures the next generation of global stewards in fun and fascinating places. Certified field educators help young travelers discover the world like scientists and tell the stories of their wild surroundings

On most departures, an undersea specialist brings your destination’s marine wonders to the surface by capturing and sharing underwater footage. During nightly recaps, the specialist interprets sea creatures and geological features, offering insights integral to the story of your destination.

Travel with peace of mind knowing the fleet is optimized to limit its environmental impact and that each voyage gives back to protect the natural and cultural heritage of your destination through the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Fund. To date, the fund has invested more than $25 million in projects aimed at preserving the world’s oceans, restoring critical marine and coastal habitats and fostering environmental stewardship
