Lindblad Expeditions celebrates six decades of expedition cruising

Lindblad Expeditions has marked the 60th anniversary of expedition travel.

It is 60 years since Lars-Eric Lindblad led the first group of non-scientific travellers to Antarctica.

A year later, Lindblad brought the first civilian expedition to the Galápagos Islands.

“Lars-Eric Lindblad pioneered expedition travel with a simple belief: how you see the world matters,” said Natalya Leahy, CEO of Lindblad Expeditions.

“Sixty years after the voyage that started it all, that vision continues to guide us.”

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions now sails to more than 100 destinations worldwide, such as Antarctica and the Galápagos along with expeditions in Europe, Asia and Africa.

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is celebrating the milestone with The Expedition That Started It All anniversary offer.

Travellers get up to 20% savings and a 50% reduced deposit on select 2026 and 2027 voyages when booked by 9 February 2026.
