National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions revealed an expanded 2027–2028 river cruise season.
The 2027–2028 season marks the most expansive lineup of river itineraries to date, spanning Egypt, India, Vietnam, and Europe.
In Europe, Connect will continue to sail Amsterdam’s canals and through the French countryside on spring and summer itineraries.
In response to strong demand, sister ship, Evolve, will be joining the fleet and will introduce three new Christmas and one holiday voyage exploring Europe’s Christmas markets.
Joining the fleet in 2027, Evolve will expand capacity and extend the co-brand’s European river programme into winter for the first time.
Guest favourites will return as well, with Charaidew II on India’s Brahmaputra River, The Jahan on the Mekong and Oberoi Philae will continue sailing on the Nile with a stop at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum.
Natalya Leahy, CEO, Lindblad Expeditionsm said: “We’re thrilled that our new European and Indian river expeditions have been so well received, and we’re delighted to offer even more ways to explore — including festive European Christmas market sailings.”
Each voyage will continue to be led by veteran expedition leaders and field staff who bring regional knowledge to life.
This upcoming season builds on a year of remarkable growth for the co-brand’s portfolio with new voyages from the Azores to the Arctic.
“Across our fleet – from rivers to open seas – we’re continuing to reimagine how people experience the world,” Leahy added.
