The Tully perspective

The expedition leaders are highly trained explorers, experts in their field. The teams do whatever it takes to create incredible opportunities for their guests.

Kit Neil, Senior Travel Designer

Lindblad have been pioneers in the world of expedition cruising since 1968, their knowledge and experience making them the world’s expedition leader. They partner with National Geographic for their cruises, with expedition leaders that are highly trained explorers, experts in their field. The teams do whatever it takes to create incredible opportunities for their guests. For example, the Lindblad crew will spend all day and night spotting polar bears in the Arctic. I actually experienced a 2 a.m. wakeup call to visit the ship’s bridge to view two polar bears mating on the Arctic ice under the Midnight Sun. It was the most amazing experience of my travel life.

The National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Fleet

Greg Mortimer

Launched in 2019, the Greg Mortimer is a cutting-edge expedition vessel purpose-built to explore the polar regions—and it brings that same spirit of adventure to Alaska’s glacial waters. The ship's signature inverted X-Bow™ delivers exceptional stability in dynamic seas, while its intimate 154-guest capacity fosters a personal onboard experience. From hydraulic viewing platforms that extend over the water for extraordinary wildlife encounters, to rapid-deploy Zodiac platforms that offer swift access to nature—every detail is designed to deepen your connection to Alaska's untamed landscapes.

Evolve

Constructed in 2026, Evolve is a brand-new, state-of-the-art European river ship joining our growing collection of bespoke charter vessels.

Connect

Constructed in 2025, Connect is a brand-new, state-of-the-art European river ship joining our growing collection of bespoke charter vessels next year.

Aqua Blu

Aqua Blu is the first ever long-range ocean explorer yacht permanently based in East Indonesia. With a grand naval pedigree and the ability to cover vast distances in a short time frame, she is perfectly poised to navigate the region’s expansive seas and provide access to some of the world’s best dive and snorkel sites in the legendary Coral Triangle.  

Charaidew II

The Charaidew II is a testament to luxury river cruising in India, blending modern comfort with traditional Assamese charm. Her extra-shallow draught and low profile allow for navigation to less-traveled areas of the Brahmaputra River—a holy body of water whose banks are home to incredible wildlife as well as small, rarely visited communities—making her the quintessential home base to explore one of India's most captivating regions.

National Geographic Sea Lion

Before they built the National Geographic Venture and National Geographic Quest, U.S. shipbuilder Nichols Brothers built the twin ships National Geographic Sea Lion and National Geographic Sea Bird. Nimble, reliable, and intimately scaled, they both continue to sail the waters of the west coast of North America and Central America.

National Geographic Resolution

One of two new ships expressly built for polar waters, National Geographic Resolution is named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. A fully-stabilized vessel with ice class PC5, Category A, she enables adventurous guests to go where few have or can.

National Geographic Quest

Built in 2017, National Geographic Quest is ideal for the fast-moving channels and shallow coves of Pan-American waters. Her design and engineering were informed by nearly 40 years of experience in the narrow straits of Alaska, the coast of Costa Rica and into the gray whale nursery lagoons of Baja.Modern and clean-lined, with large expanses of glass to take in the extraordinary views, National Geographic Quest enables guests to see, do and experience the best of her geographies.

Lord of the Glens

Lord of the Glens was built for one purpose—to fit through the network of locks, lochs, and waterways that make up the Caledonian Canal, which cuts through the very heart of the Scottish Highlands connecting the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Add to that her ability to navigate the coastline and venture to the islands of the Inner Hebrides, and you have the basis for a singularly unique and striking expedition.

Sun Goddess

A new addition to our Egypt offerings, the elegant Sun Goddess carries only 60 guests in 30 spacious suites, providing an intimate and exceptionally comfortable experience on the world’s longest river. Featuring a separate sitting area and a balcony, each suite is a relaxing and sophisticated environment to observe 5,000 years of history unfolding along the Nile’s banks.

Oberoi Philae

A voyage along the Nile is the centerpiece of your journey through Egypt. There are few, if any, ships that can match the elegance, ideal size, and graciousness of the Oberoi Philae. Originally built for 100 guests, she was remodeled and reconfigured to accommodate 44 in her peerless style.

Delfin III

Delfin III sails the Ucayali and Marañón rivers to the confluence of the mighty Amazon in Peru’s Upper Amazon year-round with style.

Delfin II

Delfin II has a distinct advantage over any land-based camp—she moves, giving you an ever-varied experience of the Amazon’s multiple landscapes and wonders.

The Jahan

To sail along the Mekong River is to experience two fascinating countries and discover how life is led along its banks. There is no better way to travel in comfort and grand style than aboard The Jahan. She has large, gracious staterooms and luxurious touches. Built in 2011 from the ground up, she is the finest ship on the Mekong River. Every cabin has a private balcony and the ship’s public spaces offer a relaxed elegance for your Mekong voyage.

National Geographic Gemini

The newly christened National Geographic Gemini joins the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Galápagos fleet with a heritage of small-ship expedition cruising. National Geographic Gemini provides an authentic, immersive Galápagos experience informed by our decades-long relationships with local communities and conservation groups.

National Geographic Venture

Following the build of National Geographic Quest at Nichols Brothers shipyard, her sister ship, the 100-guest National Geographic Venture, floated into the bay on Whidbey Island, becoming the fourth ship in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet built at this storied Pacific Northwest shipyard. In the 1970s, Nichols Brothers built the twin ships National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion, which continue to sail the waters of the west coast of North America and Central America.

National Geographic Endurance

Purpose-built for polar navigation, National Geographic Endurance is designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore uncharted waters, while providing exceptional comfort. The patented X-bow ® is key to their design; its powerful wave-slicing action provides an extremely smooth ride even in adverse conditions, and even reduces spray on deck for superior observation. The ship carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities.

National Geographic Delfina

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions welcomes the newest and most intimate addition to the Galápagos fleet, National Geographic Delfina. Setting sail in early 2025, this sleek, contemporary vessel is a luxury catamaran designed for cruising the Galápagos Islands in style and stable comfort.

National Geographic Islander II

National Geographic Islander ll is a sleek and elegant expedition vessel. Special features include teak decks, indoor-outdoor dining options, an impressive observation deck and new amenities like a climate-controlled marina and a dedicated science hub.

National Geographic Sea Bird

Before they built the National Geographic Venture and National Geographic Quest, U.S. shipbuilder Nichols Brothers built the twin ships National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion. Nimble, reliable and intimately scaled, they sail the waters of the west coast of North America and Central America.

National Geographic Explorer

Today, National Geographic Explorer is a purpose-built expedition ship. She is a fully stabilized, ice-class vessel with an ice-reinforced hull, enabling her to navigate polar passages while providing comfort, elegance and a deep connection to the environment.

National Geographic Endeavour II

Purpose built to accommodate expedition-style travel, National Geographic Endeavour II is elegant, nimble, and equipped with state-of-the-art tools for up-close explorations. She carries just 96 guests and features public spaces that invite observation and community.

National Geographic Orion

With her high ice-class rating, National Geographic Orion is strong enough to explore the polar regions, yet her elevated maneuverability allows for navigation practically anywhere accessible by sea.
