Lindblad Expeditions - Antarctica

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions offers two Antarctica exploration options designed for travelers with limited time who still want a meaningful experience on the continent—guided by the pioneers of modern expedition cruising

The Antarctica Direct voyages allow you to maximize time on the continent with either a fly in-fly out or fly in-sail out itinerary. In as few as five days on the continent, you can enjoy the immersive experience that National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is known for: a renowned photography program, expert and passionate expedition teams—including an undersea specialist who reveals the hidden world beneath the ice—and the National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program for young travelers.

These expeditions sail aboard either of two intimate, purpose-built ships: the National Geographic Orion, accommodating 102 guests, or the National Geographic Explorer, accommodating 148 guests—ensuring a personal, immersive expedition experience.

Let’s explore why small ships and a dedicated expedition approach make all the difference in Antarctica.
