National Geographic Onboard

Why the alliance means a richer travel experience for you...

In 2004, two exemplary organizations joined forces. As their mission statement noted, "Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology, and conservation provides extraordinary travel experiences and disseminates geographic knowledge around the globe."

The alliance is a natural fit between a trail-blazing expedition company founded by a renowned explorer, Lars-Eric Lindblad, and National Geographic, the iconic brand known for its magazine, Society and roster of explorers past and current. It created a wonderful proposition for today's travelers.

Now, guests can travel on a fleet of sleek expedition vessels to the world's most extraordinary places in the company of world-renowned scientists, naturalists and researchers, exploring alongside skilled specialists using state-of-the-art exploration tools.

And good news for photo enthusiasts - every expedition aboard National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic Orion is accompanied by a National Geographic photographer.

There are many opportunities ahead to travel with interesting National Geographic and other experts, from field researchers you haven't heard of yet, to names you know.

Now, whether you're watching a National Geographic video, or browsing the latest National Geographic magazine, or remembering a past article that fascinated you, you have the option to step into the pages, to board an expedition ship and head out to explore the world yourself.
