National Geographic Expedition Cruises, operated in partnership with Lindblad Expeditions, offer transformative travel experiences that combine expert-led exploration with a deep commitment to education, conservation, and storytelling.

Designed for curious and adventurous travellers, these small-ship expeditions navigate some of the world’s most extraordinary and remote environments, including Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Patagonia, and beyond.

Each voyage is accompanied by a handpicked team of seasoned experts, including National Geographic photographers, scientists, naturalists, historians, and undersea specialists. Their knowledge and passion bring every destination to life through enriching lectures, hands-on workshops, citizen science projects, and guided excursions by Zodiac, kayak, or on foot.

Guests gain rare access to wildlife encounters, cultural exchanges, and pristine landscapes—often with opportunities to learn photographic techniques directly from National Geographic professionals.

Aboard the fleet of state-of-the-art expedition ships, guests enjoy a casual yet comfortable atmosphere, with thoughtfully designed staterooms, sustainable cuisine, and open deck spaces for optimal wildlife viewing. Onboard tools such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), hydrophones, and video microscopes provide deeper engagement with the natural world.

Sustainability and responsible tourism are core to the National Geographic expedition experience. A portion of proceeds from each trip supports the National Geographic Society’s work in science, exploration, education, and conservation.

National Geographic Expedition Cruises appeal to travellers who seek more than just a vacation—they offer the chance to be part of something bigger. Every journey is a meaningful adventure that fosters a deeper understanding of the planet and our role in protecting it. Whether you're watching whales breach in Alaska, snorkeling with sea lions in the Galápagos, or witnessing penguin colonies in Antarctica, these expeditions create memories—and knowledge—that last a lifetime.
