Lindblad Expeditions goes to the most amazing places on the planet, 40+ geographies in all. The collaboration between their masterful Captains ad experienced expedition leaders creates unprecedented opportunities for guests.
Over 50 years ago, Lars-Eric Lindblad chartered a ship and brought the first non-scientific travelers to Antarctica. A year later, in 1967, he did it again in Galápagos. Regarded as the father of ecotourism, he believed that educated people who saw things with their own eyes would be a potent force for the preservation of the places they visited.
Since 1979, Sven-Olof Lindblad, has curated transformative travel experiences in the world’s most remarkable places. Under his leadership, Lindblad Expeditions has built the most advanced fleet of expedition ships in the world; pioneered expeditions in Baja, Polynesia, and the High Arctic, and created the most in-depth programs in places like Alaska, Galápagos, and Costa Rica & Panama. Sven has grown the conservation ethos his father imbued in his company, not only making the operation 100% carbon neutral, but raising millions of dollars that has gone directly to on-the-ground projects in the places we explore.
Lindblad Expeditions cares deeply about the planet and are proud to serve as a catalyst for meaningful change. A core value of Lindblad Expeditions is to positively impact the geographies where the fleet sails. Lindblad has built ground-breaking programs in education, empowered local artisans, and protected wild areas.
