Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic launches two new ways to explore Antarctica.
Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic launches two new ways to explore Antarctica.
Exciting news from Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic as they introduce two NEW Antarctica exploration options that allow guests with limited time to discover this remarkable region with the pioneers of Antarctic expedition cruising.
These new Antarctica Direct expeditions provide you with a fly in-fly out or a sail in-fly out option. You can invest as little as eight days and experience Antarctica with all that Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic has to offer, including their renowned photography program, knowledgeable and passionate expedition teams that include an undersea specialist who shares the beauty of the undersea world, and the National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program for families. The voyages are offered aboard one of two intimate, purpose-built ships: National Geographic Orion, which accommodates 102 guests, or National Geographic Explorer, accommodating 148 guests.
Let's talk about why small ships and dedicated expedition experience is so important.
“Antarctica is so powerful as a destination,” says Founder and CEO Sven Lindblad. “I have seen a lot of travelers over the years transformed by their travel experience there. Now, we are broadening the opportunities for a wider segment of society to have that same life-changing experience.”
Travel with a diverse team of experts aboard National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic Orion, both purpose-built polar expedition ships. Venture into channels and coves framed by towering peaks to explore in complete tranquility. Watch for whales off the bow, Zodiac cruise around enormous icebergs, and hike, kayak, and possibly even cross-country ski (conditions permitting on November departures). Choose an active agenda or surrender to the pleasures of relaxing downtime and shipboard camaraderie. Plus, get top shots with the help of a National Geographic Photography Expert.
★ Discover the world’s last great wilderness in the company of top naturalists and the most experienced polar captains in Antarctica, benefitting from more than 55 years of expedition heritage.
★ Hike amid magnificent mountains, see huge glaciers, and observe a parade of gentoo, Adélie, and chinstrap penguins.
★ Kayak in protected waters, paddling in the Antarctic stillness as penguins swim nearby.
★ November departures offer the possibility to cross-country ski or snowshoe across the frozen sea ice, conditions permitting.
PLUS, it's virtually all-inclusive: activities, bar (adult and non-alcoholic beverages), meals, gear, accommodations, transfers, taxes, and gratuities are included in pricing.
Built to handle deep swells and towering waves, National Geographic Explorer invites polar exploration while providing exceptional comfort. For many guests, she remains the paradigm of an expedition ship.
National Geographic Explorer is devoted to exploration—from her welcoming Bridge and the Chart Room where you can tuck into a hot chocolate, to her high-perched Observation Deck, with its aqueous light and compelling 24/7 views. Even the art on the walls—from the Hurley prints of Shackleton’s expedition to the stunning National Geographic photos—tells a narrative of globe-spanning travel and a dedication to curiosity and wonder.
National Geographic Explorer recently debuted updated suites, enhanced with the sleek, Scandinavian design that has become the hallmark of the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions polar fleet.
All feature windows or portholes, private facilities, climate controls, hair dryers, and a TV, plus Ethernet, Wi-Fi connections, and USB ports for mobile devices. Some cabins have balconies.
Featuring 53 cabins, the gracious and intimate National Geographic Orion's elevated maneuverability allows for navigation of inshore waters and secluded bays—practically anywhere accessible by sea.
National Geographic Orion offers guests a spirited, almost clubby environment on board. Of her many amenities and features, the most appealing is her outdoor dining and deck space, which offers a range of panoramic views of the region’s rich avian and marine life.
All feature ocean views, private facilities, climate controls, hair dryers and a flat-screen TV, plus Ethernet, Wi-Fi connections and USB ports for mobile devices. Some cabins have French balconies.
Smoothies are served after the sunrise stretch sessions on the sundeck, weather permitting. Teatime is offered in the afternoon, along with sweets and savory sandwiches. Don't miss either opportunity.
