Exploring Antarctica in expedition style, aboard an authentic expedition ship is an incomparable experience and your guarantee of an in-depth encounter with all its wonders. Lindblad Expedition’s pioneering polar heritage and 50 years of experience navigating polar geographies is your assurance of safe passage in one of the wildest sectors of the planet. The veteran polar expedition team enables you to:

• See more of the legendary landscapes and habitats

Extraordinary adventure is a guarantee on all of Lindblad's Antarctica expeditions. Flexibility is a hallmark of their explorations, and often the shipboard day-by-day itinerary will change—so we may take full advantage of rare wildlife sightings, watching whales feed off the bow, or perfect conditions for a late day kayaking excursion.

Self-Disinfecting Fleet: Lindblad Expeditions recently became the first self-disinfecting fleet in the cruise industry with the rollout of the ACT Premium Purity™ system. This is a photocatalytic process that works when illuminated, breaking down unwanted microbes such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and airborne allergens. It can be applied to all surfaces, which become self-disinfecting after application. Planned for well over a year and designed to drastically cut down on any number of germ-related transmissions, it resulted in great success during the testing phase.

Lindblad Expeditions is 100% carbon neutral and single-use plastic free, because they care deeply about the planet and see travel as a powerful  force for good. Learn more about their commitment to sustainability .
