LEGENDARY LEGACY


National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions unveils enticing booking offers as it celebrates 60 years since the first tourists traversed the Seventh Continent


In 1966, entrepreneur, explorer and environmentalist Lars-Eric Lindblad pioneered the first tourist expedition to the breathtakingly beautiful Antarctic. This landmark voyage, aboard an Argentine naval vessel, ushered in decades of discovery and adventure across the White Continent. With this groundbreaking voyage, Lars-Eric Lindblad opened


up responsible tourism to some of the world’s most far-flung corners, including the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon and beyond. Today, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions proudly continues this legacy of exploration. To mark 60 years since the expedition that started it all, the


line is offering a range of deals, including up to 20% savings on select voyages and a 50% reduced deposit on select 2026 and 2027 departures booked by February 9. From the ice-sculpted landscapes of Antarctica and the


wildlife-rich fjords of the Arctic to the spine-tingling wonder of the Galápagos Islands, these iconic expeditions embody the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions difference.


The last frontier For those who want to immerse themselves in the majesty of the White Continent, the line’s 12-day Voyage to Antarctica itinerary on board new-build polar ship National Geographic Resolution has it all. Sailing across the Drake Passage, travellers explore the Antarctic Peninsula by Zodiac and on foot, weaving between sculptural icebergs and visiting vast penguin colonies.


Expert-led landings reveal calving glaciers and whale-rich waters, while talks by naturalists and polar specialists deepen guests’ understanding of this ice-bound wilderness. Fly-cruise packages start at £12,899 per person


Arctic adventure An Arctic voyage to Svalbard offers the chance to encounter some of the planet’s most iconic wildlife. Guests on the line’s 10-day In Search of Iconic Arctic Wildlife itinerary on 138-passenger National Geographic Endurance – sister ship to National Geographic Resolution – prowl for polar bears, fur seals and Arctic foxes amid soaring fjords and drifting ice caps, guided by knowledgeable expedition leaders. With long summer daylight hours and ever-changing conditions, each day brings new discoveries by Zodiac or kayak – or on deck beneath the midnight sun. Fly-cruise packages start at £9,799 per person


Animal kingdom Giant tortoises, curious sea lions and penguins are just some of the creatures that call the Galápagos Islands home – and for those who visit this remarkable archipelago, up close encounters are all but guaranteed. Travelling aboard National Geographic Endeavour II, guests can embark on a 10-day Exploring Galápagos sailing, with the chance to snorkel and walk among wildlife that is wonderfully unfazed by humans. Fly-cruise packages start at £6,499 per person
