CREATED FOR THE CURIOUS

FAMILIES AND FRIENDS SHARE IN THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME Gather your family and friends for an adventure that brings everyone closer—to each other and to the natural world. A private charter transforms time together into something extraordinary: mornings kayaking beside glaciers, afternoons snorkeling among sea turtles, evenings sharing stories under a sky full of stars. Whether marking a milestone—such as a reunion, anniversary, birthday or graduation—or simply creating one, it’s a journey designed entirely around you and your loved ones.

INCREDIBLE MOMENTS, UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES The greatest journeys are the ones you share, and time spent together in wild places awakens curiosity, inspires young minds and deepens every traveler’s connection to the planet. From your first whale sighting to kayaking through glacial bays, each moment becomes part of your group's story—one that will be told for years to come.

EXPLORATION FOR EVERY GENERATION The ships in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet are ideal for multigenerational travel, creating space for parents, grandparents, children and teens to connect through discovery. Days unfold at your group’s pace, with activities for every interest—hikes and Zodiac rides for adventure-seekers, photo walks for budding storytellers, and quiet decks for those who prefer to watch the wild world drift by.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORERS-IN-TRAINING Children and teens are invited to participate in our exclusive National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program, offered aboard all private charters in Alaska, Galápagos and Baja California, and on select voyages to Antarctica and Iceland. Led by certified field educators, this interactive curriculum connects young travelers with nature and teaches them to embrace the mindset of a National Geographic Explorer—to discover the world like scientists and tell the stories of their surroundings.

“

This trip was spectacular in so many ways. The expedition team kept us active, yet gave us time to relax; kept the kids engaged; and had us in and on the water as much as we wanted. We were 16 very happy people—you delivered perfection.

LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL RETREATS WHERE VISION MEETS ADVENTURE Step away from the ordinary and into an environment that inspires clarity, creativity and connection. Aboard a private expedition ship, boards, leadership teams and mission-driven organizations such as clubs and foundations will find the space—and perspective—to think big, align on goals and strengthen relationships.

Free from everyday distractions, ideas flow naturally and collaboration deepens through shared exploration. Whether hosting seminars at sea, planning long-term strategy or building stronger teams, a private charter offers a rare opportunity to reflect, recharge and shape what’s next for your organization.

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is a five-star experience from start to finish! On board and ashore, the activities were phenomenal. The lectures and naturalists deeply impressed us, and the wealth of what we experienced was just amazing.

INCENTIVE PROGRAMS INSPIRE EXCELLENCE THROUGH EXPLORATION Reward achievement and strengthen your company culture with an experience that celebrates success through shared adventure.

Every aspect of your incentive charter is thoughtfully managed, allowing you to focus on what matters most: recognizing your people. The result is an experience that rewards excellence while reigniting purpose—leaving your team reenergized, connected and inspired to reach new heights.
