Lindblad Expeditions: Awesome up-close encounters
Lindblad Expeditions has long been inspiring people to explore and care about the planet. If you're an adventure traveler looking for ways to transform vacations into informed and engaged explorations, then check out Lindblad Expeditions.
Together with National Geographic, Lindblad Expeditions offers intimate small-ship expedition cruises that, unlike traditional cruises, offer you an opportunity to encounter the world’s most pristine and inspiring places up close with the seasoned experts who know them best.
Lindblad prefers the term "expeditions" to "cruises." By whatever name, it offers some of the best choices for people looking to explore such diverse destinations as the Galápagos Islands, Antarctica, Alaska, the South Pacific, Costa Rica, Greenland, Brazil, Fiji, Tahiti, South Africa and elsewhere.
Technically, Lindblad owns 10 ships and charters six others: Jahan, Delfin II, Lord of the Glens, Sea Cloud, Sea Cloud II and Oberoi Philae.
