National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions have announces the full release of its highly anticipated 2027-28 deployment, inviting guests to embark on innovative voyages to rediscover all seven continents from an ever-evolving perspective aboard a world-class expedition fleet.
Building on the pioneering heritage of Lindblad Expeditions and the renowned expertise of National Geographic, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions continues to offer extraordinary voyages led by seasoned expedition leaders, naturalists, historians, scientists, photographers and National Geographic experts who bring the world’s wonders to life.
The 2027–28 season introduces a collection of new and returning itineraries – such as the chance to experience the rare natural phenomena of the solar eclipse and an expanded season in the high Arctic – creating more opportunities for travellers to discover top destinations across all seven continents and reach the furthest corners of the earth.
“We’re excited to share the next wave of our new collection of voyages for 2027 and 2028. These journeys are inspired by the curiosity and adventurous spirit of our guests, and they stay true to what makes travelling with us so special: small ships, incredible naturalists and guides, and experiences that bring each destination to life in authentic and meaningful ways,” said Natalya Leahy, chief executive officer, Lindblad Expeditions.
“This unparalleled expertise in expedition travel, combined with our spirit of innovation and commitment to life-expanding experiences, is what defines National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions. We don’t just take people to places—we show them how to truly see them.”
“Whether it’s crafting a new itinerary to reflect the ethos of our brand, or restructuring an existing product that allows guests to rediscover new elements of their favourite places, we are consistently looking to reframe the travel experience in innovative ways.
Our team of naturalists, navigators and captains is one of the most experienced in the industry, which truly makes the difference when planning once-in-a-lifetime journeys to the edges of the world,” said Trey Byus, chief expedition officer, Lindblad Expeditions.
Highlights for the 2027-28 season include:
- The possibility to experience the August 2027 solar eclipse in its path of totality at the Strait of Gibraltar during the ‘Azores to Barcelona: A Special Solar Eclipse Voyage’, a new itinerary highlighting astrotourism and natural phenomena. This exclusive experience offers guests a rare opportunity to potentially witness the eclipse at sea, side by side with naturalists and a National Geographic photographer.
- More opportunities to explore the Arctic, including the high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard in both spring and summer. The introduction of ‘Baffin Island: Exploring Canada’s Wild Arctic Frontier’ and the revival of the ‘Fabled Lands of the North: Greenland to Newfoundland’ itinerary, last sailed in 2024, offer chances to look for polar bears in their native habitat and witness pristine snow and ice bathed in near-perfect light.
- National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is providing new options to (re)discover Europe. National Geographic Orion’s ‘Continental Crossroads: Spain, Morocco and the Canary Islands’ and ‘Spain, Portugal and Morocco: Atlantic Horizons’, as well as National Geographic Endurance’s ‘Porto, Bordeaux and Bergen: Wonders of Western Europe’, bring passengers to both famed destinations and lesser-known gems along coastal shores, while the luxurious, three-mast sailing ship Sea Cloud II navigates ‘Malta, Sicily and Greece Under Sail’ for an unforgettable journey the shimmering azure waters of the Ionian Sea.
- The return of two 17-day guest favourites, the ‘Exploring Patagonia’s National Parks from Punta Arenas to Puerto Montt’, where expeditioners will discover the region’s mountainous islands, forests, tidewater glaciers, and wildlife reserves, and explorations in the South Pacific, where untouched beauty and remarkable cultures align on the ‘Fiji and Tahiti Adventure: Vibrant Reefs and Cultural History’ adventure
Whether sailing past ancient wonders in the Mediterranean, experiencing the midnight sun in the Arctic or exploring the pristine national parks of Patagonia, these journeys are designed to foster meaningful connections with wildlife, wild places and local communities, while delivering authentic, enriching and responsible exploration.
