SPRING SUMMER

HOT SPOTS & COOL DISCOVERIES FOR 2017 TRAVEL

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experiences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe.

DEAR TRAVELER, In 2016 we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the pioneering 1966 citizen explorer expedition to Antarctica by my father, Lars-Eric Lindblad. In 2017, we will be celebrating his 1967 pioneering feat: leading the first laymen expedition to Galápagos, and playing an instrumental role in establishing the tourism policies that are the still the foundation of the National Park’s guidelines today. We respect our heritage, are proud of the achievements we’ve recorded during our past 50 years, but are focused on the future with considerable excitement, given the newness and innovation ahead. This season we’ll inaugurate two new ships: National Geographic Endeavour II has been completely re-fitted to offer the best expedition experience in the Galápagos Islands. And National Geographic Quest, purpose-built in the U.S—on beautiful Whidbey Island, WA to be exact— will begin her expedition career in British Columbia and the San Juan Islands, before ranging as far south as Belize. In our 50 years, many changes have happened in travel—where do we as travelers seek to go? What do we choose to avoid? Do more of us travel to relax, or to seek inspiration and activity? Do we travel to know more, to feel a greater connection with nature, or to see places that still retain cultural and historical integrity? Perhaps it’s all of the above. And with whom? Do we choose to travel with our families, our friends, or on our own? I certainly have seen a vastly greater desire for extended community, whether it be the community our guests take with them, or discover in seeking new like-minded others, inevitably drawn, like themselves, to this style of travel. You, inevitably, have distinct views on all of these subjects. What I can offer you is the fact that we have, over this past half a century, developed a deep understanding of what’s possible, and what matters to people. Whether it’s exploring the High Arctic where the National Geographic Explorer spends most of the summer; the Galápagos Islands, always in season, always full of wonder for people of all ages; or Baja California, often referred to as the Mexican Galápagos. Discovering a fresh perspective on Europe aboard the National Geographic Orion. Or steeping in the deep pleasures of the sailing yacht Sea Cloud, a destination in her herself. In all cases, our commitment is to provide you with the most thoughtful, fulfilling time we possibly can.

THE ARCTIC & ICELAND

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

The Arctic is the ultimate vacuum that attracts. Grand in scale, its sky, mountains, fjords, and expanses of ice are magnificent, bigger than big. It has fired the imagination of explorers for centuries. Tantalizingly blank, the Arctic is one of the last regions to have eluded the Google Earth cartographers: you can search but little results. It remains a geography that insists on being discovered in person. Venture to Iceland with us and you’ll see what you want to, and what you never imagined. Plan to genuinely experience Iceland, not its tourist hordes.

THE ARCTIC OR ICELAND—BE COOL THIS SEASON

Travel on any of our 2017 Arctic departures and receive a complimentary copy of THE ARCTIC, our beautifully designed new book by Sven Lindblad, published by Rizzoli.

Kayakers off Svalbard’s pristine coast.

“I found Svalbard thrilling on many levels. There is the sheer exhilaration of being above 80 degrees North—just hundreds of miles from the North Pole—and watching the sun circling well above the horizon 24 hours a day. For lovers of ice and Antarctica, Svalbard offers the same starkly beautiful vistas of massive glaciers, ice caps, and mountains. And Svalbard boasts something that Antarctica doesn’t—at least four centuries of human exploration.” —Fen Montaigne

“Greenland is one of the few places on Earth where you can go to see rock from the early days of the planet, more than four billion years old. The jagged mountains of Svalbard are ancient as well. Then contrast them to Iceland, where new land is being created with active volcanoes. And the geology is made all the more spectacular, raw and sharpedged by the relentless erosion of the glaciers. It is as close as you will ever get to being on another planet.” —Michael Wysession, Professor and Author

“I am a child of the Canadian Maritimes, so this is my psychic home and my inspiration. Nova Scotia, where I grew up, is the setting for two of my novels, Burden of Desire and Portrait of Julia, and my memoir of childhood, Wordstruck; and it remains the doorway to my imagination. I spend summers there in our house on the Atlantic coast. So I am steeped in the history and romance of this corner of the New World settled by Europeans as early as 1604, my mother’s family arriving in 1750. I grew up with the sea. The sea was my father’s work on Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol boats during Prohibition chasing rum-runners over the waters we will sail. In WWII, he commanded a series of warships protecting convoys in the Battle of the Atlantic. My brother Hugh became an Admiral in the Canadian Navy, and I am an amateur cruising sailor. So, the sea is in our bones, and I love to tell the stories of how it shaped four centuries of our history.” —Robert MacNeil

“ It’s a living history, a living culture. There are still millions of people who speak Quechua as a first language in the Andes today. People still practicing their traditional beliefs, their traditional lifestyles, their social organization. It’s all very much present as a living way of life. It’s not just stones and ruins. It’s culture.” —Peter Frost, National Geographic Expert Inca stonework, Machu Picchu.

BAJAâ€” DESERT ISLES & A LIVING SEA

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

This is the season to visit Baja California. Walk miles of pristine beach on Pacific shores. Witness gentle grey whale mothers nursing their calves. Paddle a kayak along sculpted volcanic cliffs, or experience childlike wonder as a playful California sea lion “teaches” you to snorkel. Walk among towering cactus where spiny iguanas munch on blossoms. Witness gorgeous sunrises and sunsets daily; and see the Milky Way clearly stretched across a star-filled night sky, from the ship’s deck or a beach BBQ. Take your best photos ever, too. WHALES, WONDERS & WILD ISLES AHEAD

“‘Many of the grays of Baja’ Frohoff told me, ‘treat their days of birthing and nursing there as a kind of protracted coming-out party. It’s extraordinary’ she said. ‘At precisely the time when you’d expect them to be the most defensive, they’re incredibly social. They’ll come right up to boats, let people touch their faces, give them massages, rub their mouths and tongues.’”

THE BEST WAYS TO EXPERIENCE ALASKA

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

Now you can go deep into wild Alaska on ships sized to thread the narrow channels and dramatic fjords where whales feed. You can focus on Southeast Alaska for the iconic thrills of coastal brown bears, bald eagles, and calving glaciers. Or, heading north toward the British Columbia coast, to find killer whales in the San Juan Islands. Accept the invitation the Haida people have extended us to visit Haida Gwaii. Or choose to expend energy in “big nature”—hiking, biking, rafting and more—and be back at your desk in only 6 days.

EXPLORING THE MEDITERRANEAN

1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

Once upon a time our Expedition Leader was talking to a guest aboard Sea Cloud exploring the Greek Isles, and he mentioned the day’s activities among the antiquities. She said, half-jokingly, “Oh, seeing Greece? That’s just icing on the cake. I’m here for Sea Cloud.” The ship with a soul, Sea Cloud is the opposite of any other ship in our fleet, where the emphasis is on what’s outside the ship’s confines. Authentic. Historic. Elegant. Sea Cloud. Oh, and she also offers interesting itineraries, while also providing the drama of seamanship and old-word luxe.

Payment is accepted by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or by check. Receipt of your initial payment indicates your acceptance of our complete Terms and Conditions. We require written notice at the time of reservation for any physical condition, diet, or treatment requiring special attention. Once your reservation is confirmed, we urge you to use your personalized online account for important information to help you prepare for your voyage. Managing your documents online will facilitate fast and accurate communication, and allow you to provide us with pertinent details we require, in order to complete your reservation.

We reserve the right to cancel your reservation if payment has not been received by final payment due date. Travel Protection Plan: We recommend that you take advantage of our Travel Protection Plan. This plan offers comprehensive coverage to protect you from cancelation fees, costs incurred due to trip delays/interruption, damaged or lost luggage, medical assistance, and evacuation during your travels.

Smoking Policy: Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas. Entry and Visa Requirements: All guests are advised to verify travel documents (passport/transit visa/entry visa) for the country through which they are transiting and/or entering. Reliable and most current information regarding international travel can be found by contacting the consulate/ embassy of the country(s) you are visiting or transiting through.

Under normal conditions, the total expedition cost is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, the published price is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event we determine that current costs create an unsustainable financial model, including but not limited to increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to pass on these costs to you, to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide a transparent accounting of the reason for such an increase in costs.
