Explore with Experience

Lindblad Expeditions has been exploring the planet’s remote and remarkable places for over 53 years aboard a fleet of elegant purpose-built expedition ships. Since its first travel company owner, Lars-Eric Lindblad, Lindblad Expeditions has taken travelers where only scientists had gone—the first to take citizen explorers to many destinations, including Antarctica and Galápagos, in 1966 and 1967. Lars-Eric Lindblad believed that educated people who saw things with their own eyes would be a potent force for preserving the places they visited. This belief is still the foundation of everything Lindblad Expeditions delivers today.
Our guests can cruise on a fleet of ships to the planet’s most extraordinary places in the company of world-renowned scientists, naturalists, and researchers.
