EXPERIENCE THE WORLD FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC-LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS Driven by a deep passion for exploration and conservation, voyages with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions inspire a change in perspective that transforms the way you experience the world.

SMALL SHIPS THAT TAKE YOU FARTHER Our ships bring you directly into the heart of Alaska's coastal wilderness. Each small, nimble vessel was designed to deliver the finest in exploration, allowing the seasoned captains and crews to stay flexible, go farther and ultimately deliver some of the most ambitious itineraries ever created along these remote shores.

TRAVEL WITH A WORLD-CLASS TEAM Voyages are driven by passionate expedition teams— naturalists, photographers and cultural specialists who are explorers at heart. Over 110 team members have a decade or more of experience in the field.

TAKE GREAT PHOTOS WITH THE PROS A National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions certified photo instructor joins every Alaska departure to help you hone your camera skills. They offer photo tips in real time for everyone from smartphone camera users to advanced hobbyists. Lessons learned in the field are enhanced on board through informative presentations, helpful one-on-one critiques and engaging slideshow events.

EXPLORE YOUR WAY EVERY DAY Itineraries feature a range of immersive activities that bring you into the pages of National Geographic magazine, from kayaking among icebergs to hiking through ancient moss-draped forests. Each expedition offers excursions for every skill level so that you can explore your way—and at your own pace—every day.

REVEALING UNDERSEA WONDERS On most departures, an undersea specialist brings marine wonders to the surface by capturing underwater footage of Alaska’s surprisingly vibrant marine life. During nightly Recaps, the specialist interprets sea creatures and geological features, offering insights integral to the story of your surroundings.

EXPEDITIONS THAT GIVE BACK Voyages contribute to the preservation of the planet through the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Fund. Your support helps conserve coastal communities and marine habitats—and it funds explorers from the National Geographic Society who are envisioning bold changes for a sustainable future.

All In Your voyage includes unlimited excursions, exceptional dining and a wide array of shipboard amenities and extras. See page 26 for a complete list of inclusions.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

ON EXPEDITION IN ALASKA Venture far beyond Alaska's busy ports and piers to roadless places where glaciers sparkle, mountains soar and epic wildlife roams. You’ll be immersed in pure wilderness, experiencing it from every angle without another ship or soul in sight.

Breakfast: Savor Your Meal, Soak in a View Epic scenery is everywhere in Alaska, and at a fjord-side breakfast, you might be treated to views of tumbling waterfalls or electric-blue icebergs as you enjoy fresh bread and pastries, a made-to-order omelet or other delicious dishes from the buffet.

Morning Excursion: Exploring at Water Level Join a naturalist aboard a Zodiac and speed toward a glistening glacier that peeks through a bend in the fjord. Or board a kayak or paddleboard and glide across these iceberg-studded waters, on the lookout for otters, bald eagles and harbor seals.

Talks and Photo Tips Head to the lounge for a talk on smartphone photography by your certified photo instructor. Stick around for a naturalist presentation on their topic of expertise, such as the dynamics of area orca pods.

Lunch: A Fresh Catch Ship chefs use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, including locally grown produce and freshcaught fish. Savor an Alaska-inspired lunch, like a grilled salmon sandwich or a salad featuring wild berries.

Afternoon Excursion: Rainforest Walk Put your new photo tips to the test during a walk through Tongass National Forest, the world’s largest temperate rainforest. Snap photos as you stroll amid blooming wildflowers, or choose a path less traveled, bushwhacking through thick brush.

Downtime: On Whale Watch With free time, take advantage of the ship’s amenities: Read up on regional flora in the library, visit the open Bridge or stand on deck to watch for whales. You may spot humpbacks engaged in a uniquely Alaska behavior: cooperative bubble-net feeding. When conditions are right, a naturalist drops a hydrophone so you can listen in on the whale communications.

Ready for Recap Gather in the lounge for drinks and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the nightly Recap and a preview of tomorrow’s activities. Today’s presentation features your undersea specialist, who shares footage from the day’s dive of the surprisingly colorful creatures that thrive in these nutrient-rich waters.

Dinner: Crab Feast A culinary event that always earns rave reviews is the Dungeness crab feast—a mouth-watering taste of Alaska’s wild bounty, washed down with local craft beers.

Adventures Under the Midnight Sun Take advantage of the summer’s lingering sunlight to capture golden hour photos or look for wildlife. If you’re traveling later in the season, you may have a chance to spot the northern lights painting the night sky.

INTRODUCING THE GREG MORTIMER EXPANDING WHAT’S POSSIBLE IN ALASKA Since our earliest Alaska expeditions in 1981, we’ve led immersive and authentic journeys into the region’s wildest corners—continually innovating and finding new ways to connect curious travelers with this epic wilderness. Now, a new chapter begins: in 2027, the Greg Mortimer will join our Alaska fleet, hosting a trio of new expeditions that enhance our ability to explore deeper while upholding the hallmarks of our experience—small-ship intimacy, expert-led discovery and meaningful connection to the natural world.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SEA BIRD AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SEA LION As we look ahead to a new chapter of Alaska exploration, we honor the vessels that helped shape our legacy here. In 2026, we will bid farewell to National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion—making this year your final opportunity to sail aboard the pioneering ships that introduced generations of travelers to Alaska’s wildest places. Sister ships National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion have long been the heart of our Alaska expeditions—intimate, nimble vessels that bring travelers to places larger ships can’t reach. Accommodating just 62 guests in 31 outside cabins, they hold the shallowest drafts in our fleet, giving you rare access to secluded coves and narrow channels. Outfitted with Zodiacs, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, they offer everything you need for immersive, up-close exploration in Alaska’s wild waterways. Their open decks are a comfortable backdrop for spectacular wildlife sightings, while their welcoming gathering spaces foster the camaraderie that is a hallmark of these voyages. Whether you’re paging through the library, chatting with the captain on the open Bridge or settling into a deck chair as the scenery drifts by, these ships offer both a welcoming home and a front-row seat to Alaska’s wild beauty. Right: Spacious Category 3 cabin; bright and comfortable lounge where guests gather for Recaps; guests watch for wildlife on the back deck.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC QUEST AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC VENTURE With the agility and comfort needed to explore Alaska’s most remote coasts, National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture continue our commitment to immersive expedition travel on this wild frontier. Purpose-built for navigating Alaska’s intricate waterways, National Geographic Quest and her sister ship, National Geographic Venture, bring a modern, clean-lined approach to expedition travel. With 50 cabins and exceptionally nimble design, they can slip into narrow fjords, quiet coves and secluded anchorages, offering access to the region’s wildest places. Twin Zodiac boarding platforms allow for quick disembarkation so you spend less time waiting and more time exploring. Kayaks and paddleboards invite you to discover sheltered inlets at water level, enjoying the up-close encounters with nature that define our explorations here. On board, outward-facing cabins, expansive windows and tiered viewing platforms keep you connected to your surroundings at every turn—framing sapphire seas, breaching whales and shifting horizons. Amenities include a partially covered sundeck, a fitness center and a welcoming lounge and library with a full-service bar. In the dining room, menus draw on regional ingredients for a fresh, local taste of Alaska’s wild bounty—complementing your explorations of this remarkable wilderness. Above: Spacious Category 3 cabin; dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows; comfortable outdoor space for relaxing and wildlife viewing.

ALASKA WITH THE FAMILY DISCOVER THE WONDER OF NATURE Alaska is the ultimate vacation destination for adventurous families— a land where epic wilderness reigns. Every departure features the exclusive National Geographic Explorers-In-Training program, which teaches kids and teens to explore like scientists. Here, Certified Field Educator Kim Baldwin comments on how she transforms Alaska into a natural classroom for young travelers.

Alaska invites young travelers to tap into their curiosity, and my role is to mentor them along their journey—to expose them to nature in a way that encourages them to develop observation, communication and problemsolving skills. Kids will likely see humpback whales, black or brown bears and beautiful blue glaciers. They might have a chance to drive a remotely operated vehicle along the seafloor to document what is living below or collect plankton and put it under the microscope. This is real science, and it makes ecology lessons more tangible. Ultimately, I hope these experiences help young people make connections between conservation and the abundance of life around them, and that they take what they learned in the wild back home. A week in Alaska could be the spark that ignites a love for nature that lasts their entire lives. Watch Video
