The National Geographic Difference
KNOWLEDGE

Let the experts guide you
The signature of these voyages is the extraordinary expedition team that travels with us—naturalists, marine biologists, conservationists, and cultural experts who interpret what we encounter, whether it’s World War II sites in the South Pacific or how polar bears in Svalbard are adapting to climate change. From the Expedition Leaders at the helm of our explorations to the National Geographic Experts who join us on board and in the field, you’ll be surrounded by people who are steeped in knowledge— and passionate about sharing that knowledge with you.

Closer than you've ever imagined
National Geographic has long served as a window to our world: supporting explorers as they forged new paths in science and exploration, inspiring changemakers, and telling the stories of our complex and remarkable planet. With Lindblad Expeditions, we take you to places around the globe where you can go behind the scenes and get an upclose look at work that is helping to illuminate and preserve the wonders of our world, such as killer whale research in Antarctica or studies of the ocean’s most untouched places by the National Geographic Pristine Seas team. Our nimble ships can access little-known ports and remote shores for a transformative experience that ignites your curiosity and your sense of wonder.
For 134 years, our global community of explorers—cutting-edge scientists, innovators, conservationists, educators, storytellers, and other changemakers—ventured from the world’s highest mountains to the deepest depths of the oceans to change the world for the better. They pushed the boundaries of knowledge, uncovered the mysteries of the natural world, and strengthened our human connection to it and one another. National Geographic Expeditions celebrates this legendary legacy by inviting others to explore with us. See the wonders of the world up close and in depth—we know it will inspire the explorer in you.
