EXPLORE WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC-
Because How You See It Matters
For more than 20 years, the unique collaboration between National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions has defined modern expedition cruising, forging meaningful relationships between people and the planet through transformative travel experiences.

SMALL SHIPS THAT TAKE YOU FARTHER
With 12 expedition ships and 11 chartered vessels, the fleet is the largest and most versatile in expedition cruising.

TRAVEL WITH A WORLD-CLASS TEAM
Voyages are led by veteran captains, seasoned guides and National Geographic Experts,* with 110+ team members contributing a decade or more of fleet experience.

They join select expeditions—and a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions certified photo instructor accompanies every departure—to help travelers hone their camera skills in captivating places.
*Available on select departures.
LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS
EXPLORE YOUR WAY, EVERY DAY
Itineraries feature a range of immersive activities that bring you into the pages of National Geographic magazine. All excursions are included unless otherwise noted, and each expedition offers options 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 and sharing underwater footage. During nightly recaps, the specialist interprets fascinating sea creatures and geological features, offering insights integral to the story of your destination.
EXPEDITIONS THAT GIVE BACK
Every voyage contributes to the preservation of the planet through the Lindblad ExpeditionsNational 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.
INCLUSIONS CURATED FOR EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
From excursions and engaging talks to meals, onboard amenities, airport transfers, Wi-Fi and much more—the fleet’s inclusions encompass a full expedition experience.
BUILT FOR AWE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC QUEST
The 50-cabin National Geographic Quest was purposebuilt for immersive exploration in the tropical wilds of Central America and Colombia. Exceptionally nimble, she can anchor off tiny islets, slip into secluded bays for private snorkeling excursions and trace the winding jungle waterways of the Panama Canal Zone.
National Geographic Quest is stocked with a fleet of kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and Zodiacs so that we can discover these wild places in-depth, without being dependent on ports or piers. A full suite of underwater exploration tools—including high-definition cameras and video microscopes—reveals the vibrant marine life that teems below the surface of these turquoise seas.
Sleek and modern, the ship offers elevators, private balconies in select cabins and expansive open decks and floor-to-ceiling windows that keep you immersed in the region’s lush tropical landscapes. The lounge hosts the Daily Recap, where our naturalists bring your expedition discoveries to life. And at any time, guests are welcome on the open Bridge, where they can observe our skilled crew navigate the hidden channels and coastal inlets that make these voyages so extraordinary.

THE PANAMA CANAL A STORIED CROSSING BETWEEN TWO OCEANS
More than a century after its completion, the Panama Canal stands as a critical achievement in commercial and engineering history. Transiting this storied passageway aboard the National Geographic Quest means learning about a modern wonder from the inside out—and gaining in-depth perspectives on its economic, mechanical and political impact from the experts who sail alongside us. Overnighting in the Panama Canal Zone allows guests the unique opportunity to take in eye-level views of the locks’ intricate workings by day, and to witness the spectacle of the canal’s dazzling illumination after dark. Just beyond the gates of this engineering marvel, we experience a dramatic change in scenery. The concrete walls of the canal stand in sharp contrast to the surrounding leafy jungles, where flora and fauna have thrived thanks to preservation efforts aimed at sustaining the health of this vital ecological corridor.
Step ashore at Barro Colorado Island to learn about the lush lowland tropical forests that have drawn biologists from across the globe to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute for nearly a century. Or, walk along the elevated boardwalks of the Panama Rainforest Discovery Center trail, through a canopy that harbors a rainbow of some 400 bird species.

UNCOMMON ADVENTURES IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND COLOMBIA
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyages include unique adventures that uncover the hidden side of your destination. Discover little-known gems—like a remote archipelago with links to the pearl trade—and enjoy special experiences, including a tour of a tropical research station and a visit to an island group where ancient artisan traditions thrive.
Gain Unparalleled Access to an Engineering Marvel
National Geographic Quest has special permission to linger in the Panama Canal Zone, giving our travelers the opportunity to see this landmark at any hour, from the mid-day cargo rush to its enchanting evening illumination.
Spend Time at a Renowned Research Station
Since 1932, scientists from across the globe have traveled to Panama’s Barro Colorado Island to conduct tropical ecology research. Walk the island's lush lowland forests with a locally based naturalist for an in-depth look at this dynamic ecosystem.
Encounter Rare Wonders of the Tropical Dry Forest
The Guanacaste region of Costa Rica is home to one of Central America’s largest tropical dry forests, a rare ecosystem of delicate scrublands and flowering trees. Search for species like armadillos and white-nosed coatis that are uniquely adapted to the arid conditions.
Delve Into the Pearl Trade
After the Spanish first plucked the archipelago’s namesake gemstones from bordering waters in the early 16th century, the Pearl Islands became a harvesting hub. Hear about the history surrounding the pearl trade as we explore the colonial past of these idyllic islands.
Enjoy an Immersive Village Visit
Spend a day in Panama’s Guna Yala archipelago, where Indigenous Guna women make intricate mola handicrafts just as they have for centuries—a tradition incorporated into colorful appliqué clothing that is still worn on the islands today.
Seek Out Elusive Jungle Wildlife
Venture through the tangled tropical forests in or around Corcovado National Park, described by National Geographic magazine as “the most biologically intense place on Earth,” and seek out rare and reclusive creatures, from grazing tapirs to tree-climbing anteaters.
EXPEDITION CRUISING FOR FAMILIES
Expedition cruising is a great fit for families, whether you are parents traveling with grade-schoolers or grandparents bringing along the whole crew for a graduation celebration. With activities that combine learning and fun, and a team of dynamic experts leading the way, each day is filled with discoveries that awaken new passions no matter your age.
Why are expedition cruises ideal for kids and families?
They are an exhilarating combination of exploration and education, where each day is full of hands-on learning on board and on shore. The ship is casual and comfortable—a home base where your family can share the thrill of discovery and make lifelong friendships with other families that are enthusiastic about exploring. Plus, many departures are timed to align with school breaks, making it easier to plan an unforgettable journey together.
What age groups would enjoy expedition cruising?
There is something for everyone, from the second-grader fascinated by ship navigation, to the teenager who loves the freedom of kayaking, to the grandparent who never misses a naturalist talk. Your family makes memories together, and yet every generation can enjoy the experience in their own way.
What types of activities can children participate in?
Any of our expert-led excursions, from zip-lining to snorkeling with colorful fish.
Are there accommodation options for families?
Families often reserve adjacent rooms that turn two cabins into a family suite.
What can kids do on the ship?
Kids tend to love downtime on board: they are free to roam and explore their interests, but never far from family. They can examine footage of sea creatures with an undersea specialist or visit the open Bridge to see the captain demonstrate how navigation instruments work. They might read a book in the lounge, or play a board game with new friends. They have just enough independence—and plenty of ways to stay entertained.
How far ahead of time should you book an expedition cruise for your family?
We recommend booking as far out as possible so you have flexibility to reserve the cabins and dates that suit your family. Booking early also gives you plenty of time to research fun facts about your destination together and to prepare for the adventure ahead.
