Lindblad Expeditions

Lindblad Expeditions has worked with National Geographic since 2004, and it shows aboard: naturalists, photographers and observation gear are part of the trip, not the decor. The company ran the first tourist expedition to Antarctica in 1966 and brought the first visitors to the Galápagos the following year. The programme starts early and it is dense: anyone after rest and evenings has the wrong line. Some vessels are chartered, and on those the onboard service is not delivered by Lindblad.
