Since 1979, Lindblad Expeditions has provided an alternative way to explore the world. Although each journey is different, there are some elements that are common to all of them.


What Makes Lindblad Expeditions Special?

A Quest for the Less-Traveled World
Our journeys are designed to take you to places of natural beauty and compelling history, avoiding crowded tourist stops.

Escape Civilization but not its Comforts
While your journey may be adventurous, our travelers enjoy comfortable accommodations, fine food and service.

A Close-Up View
On most ship-based expeditions, we carry Zodiac landing craft, letting you get off the ship almost anywhere to explore.

Through Expert Eyes
An enthusiastic staff of naturalists and historians is on hand to share their knowledge and inspire you.

Relaxed and Friendly
You'll experience the sheer joy of traveling to new, exciting places with a small group of like-minded people, in an informal atmosphere. There is never a need for fancy clothing.

In the Spirit of Discovery
Flexibility is key to Lindblad Expeditions' itineraries. While there's a plan, we're always willing to change it so that you won't miss spontaneous events along the way.

Sensitivity to Natural Habitats
We seek to travel in an environmentally responsible way, leaving the places we visit as we found them, and working with local governments and individuals to preserve them for others.

Our Mission
As we draw on our legacy of adventure, experience and knowledge, our commitment is to provide travelers with opportunities to participate in expeditions which explore the world with a sense of discovery and wonder, and to preserve our environment for future generations. As we do so, we strive to create expeditions that are as enriching and memorable as they are comfortable and fun.
