National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is sharing more details about the first of its 2027-28 voyages.

Travelers will be able to visit all seven continents, with insights from veteran expedition leaders, naturalists, historians, scientists and National Geographic experts. 

“Our 2027-28 deployment reflects everything our guests value about traveling with us: extraordinary access, thoughtful pacing and a deep respect for the environments and cultures we visit,” says Trey Byus, chief expedition officer for Lindblad Expeditions. “Every itinerary has been crafted with care—whether it’s a guest favorite or a returning route—to offer experiences that are not only awe-inspiring, but also positively impactful. We believe travel can be a powerful force for good, and through these voyages, we invite our guests to deepen their connection to the planet, support conservation and communities, and return home with a renewed sense of wonder and purpose.”

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions will return to Oceania for the first time in two years, with National Geographic Resolution relaunching several itineraries, including the 11-day “Pearls of the Pacific: The Society and Tuamotu Islands.” The brand will also return to Easter Island for the first time in four years with the 18-day “Easter Island To Tahiti: Tales of The Pacific” voyage.

Also in 2027-28, the brand will launch additional departures of its popular 8-day “Alaska’s Inside Passage,” 11-day “Voyage to the Great Bear Rainforest” and 14- and 15-day “Treasures of the Inside Passage” itineraries aboard National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture.

Travelers will also have ample opportunities to explore Japan, with added departures of the 16-day “Coastal Japan: Imperial Dynasties and Modern Culture” itinerary. National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions will offer a wide variety of voyages in Europe and the Mediterranean, such as the 8-day “Islands of the Azores: Basalt Peaks to Volcanic Vineyards” and the 8-day “Ancient Mediterranean: Exploring Greece, Croatia and Albania” itineraries.

In the Galápagos Islands, guests can sail aboard four unique, purpose-built vessels, including the newly acquired 16-guest National Geographic Delfina and the 48-guest National Geographic Gemini, plus National Geographic Endeavour II and the ultra-luxury super-yacht National Geographic Islander II.
