Lindblad Expeditions’ intrepid expedition developers have not ventured far from home during the pandemic, but their travel experience and ambitions roamed widely, creating new expeditions. Each promises epic new adventures whether it’s transiting the Northwest Passage or exploring New Zealand and the Subantarctic Islands.
The extraordinary adventures include new experiences: Visiting Vietnam’s coastal villages or seeing rare penguin species in the Subantarctic isles, and fresh returns – to Raja Ampat for its vibrant undersea, or to Franz Josef Land for its untrammelled wildness.
Lindblad’s return to travel will also see the debut of the line’s extraordinary new polar vessels, National Geographic Endurance and National Geographic Resolution, both making their maiden voyages in 2021.
EXHILARATING NEW ADVENTURES: Explore New Zealand and beyond on a choice of two itineraries. One immerses you in the land of the Kiwis, venturing to both North and South Islands. The other takes you from New Zealand to the pristine sub-Antarctic Islands for superb wildlife-spotting.
