Iceland is a land of paradoxes. It is a place where magma churns beneath glaciers, where waterfalls thunder into quiet fjords, and where the sun refuses to set during the endless days of summer. To see Iceland is one thing; to truly experience its raw, geological power and vibrant culture is another entirely.
Embarking on an expedition cruise opens the door to some of the most breathtaking and remote destinations on Earth. When choosing between Lindblad Expeditions and Hurtigruten/HX, travelers often find themselves weighing unique offerings, styles, and experiences that each company brings to the table.
Exploring the polar regions is a dream for many adventurers, and choosing the right expedition company can make all the difference. Lindblad Expeditions and Quark Expeditions are two of the most renowned names in the world of polar travel, each offering unique experiences to the Arctic and Antarctic.
The anticipation is a sensory experience all its own. You can almost feel the humid air, thick with the scent of frangipani and street-side satay. You can picture the sun rising over a silent, mist-shrouded temple, hear the chatter of a vibrant market, and imagine the thrill of spotting an orangutan high in the canopy of a Borneo rainforest. An expedition to Asia with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is not just a trip; it’s a full-bodied immersion into a world of ancient traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and profound discovery.
There is a silence at the top of the world that you can feel in your bones. It’s a profound quiet, broken only by the groan of a living glacier, the sharp cry of an Arctic tern, or the soft splash of a beluga whale surfacing in the icy water. This is the Arctic Circle—not as a destination on a map, but as a living, breathing realm of raw power and delicate beauty. To journey here is to step into a world that is both ancient and urgently present, a place that changes all who are fortunate enough to witness it.

 Lindblad Expeditions is thrilled to announce a new member of its fleet. Launching in August 2022, the sleek and elegant National Geographic Islander II will sail year-round in the Galápagos Islands and elevate the guest experience to an entirely new level. This new ship replaces the National Geographic Islander and carries the same number of guests.

Guests will enjoy more space than ever before while exploring the Galápagos Islands. Travelers will find encircling teak decks that gracefully connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, indoor-outdoor dining options, a well-outfitted observation deck, 26 light and airy suites, and new expedition amenities including a marina and science hub. A true, ocean-going vessel, National Geographic Islander II is 280-feet long, 46-feet wide, and equipped with stabilizers for smooth sailing. Her refit for Galápagos includes key environmental and fuel-efficient upgrades like reduced outdoor lighting, special paint, and recycled water from the newly installed air conditioning system.?? |
