2028–29 Voyages Feature New Routes, Expanded Access, and Expert-Led Exploration

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions today announces its highly anticipated 2028–29 deployment, unveiling a new season of voyages that will bring travelers deeper into the fjords, take them farther into the South Pacific, and provide them with more time to explore polar ice regions. Building on a 60-year heritage of expedition expertise, the new, expanded, and returning itineraries are meticulously developed and timed to align with peak moments in nature and delivered by experts in their craft.

The 2028–29 season introduces new and expanded itineraries across Antarctica, the Arctic, Alaska, Europe, and the South Pacific, including holiday departures in Antarctica, longer Arctic expeditions, river voyages through Europe, and a return to French Polynesia with rare access to Makatea, the only uplifted atoll in French Polynesia with sea cliffs, limestone caves, and a stalactite grotto that visitors can swim into. Each voyage is led by veteran Expedition Leaders, captains, and naturalists, whose deep understanding and experience provide deeper context and meaning, bringing each destination to life.

"The future of expedition travel is no longer defined solely by where travelers go — but how they travel, when they travel, and who guides them there," said Trey Byus, Chief Expedition Officer, Lindblad Expeditions. "Our upcoming deployment reflects that idea with longer voyages, expanded access, and deeper exploration across our guests' favorite destinations, led by the people who know them best. From more time in Antarctica and the Arctic to sailing in the Makatea, where few operators go, these journeys are shaped by years of expertise in destinations where access and expertise change everything."

Highlights of the 2028–29 season include:

This season builds on National Geographic–Lindblad Expeditions' legacy of more than 60 years of exploration supported by a fleet of mission-built vessels designed for access, agility and discovery. The experience onboard and ashore is built around access and expertise, with scientists, naturalists, photographers and National Geographic Expedition Experts helping bring each destination to life in real time. Whether exploring polar ice, remote archipelagos, quaint towns or coastal wilderness, each voyage is designed to create meaningful connections, a deeper understanding and a lasting sense of discovery that lingers long after the voyage ends.
