SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATION-
AND SCIENCE

pros are at guests' side and at their
service on every departure of National
Geographic Explorer and National
Geographic Orion, and on select
departures fleetwide.

We have always
actively supported
conservation. In
2008, we established the Lindblad
Expeditions-National Geographic
Joint Fund. Since 1997 guest aboard
our ships in Galápagos have donated
$7.6 million to support the islands;
with a total of more than $12 million
donated fleet-wide for various initiatives worldwide.

LINDBLAD-NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC CERTIFIED PHOTO
INSTRUCTORS Aboard every ship
in our fleet, they help with camera
settings, the basics of
composition, and
provide instruction and advice.
Because each
is a naturalist, they
help guest better understand wildlife
behavior to get better shots.

AUTHENTIC FREEDOM To be on an
expedition means to be free: to stop
and linger with a pod of whales or
flying mobula rays, because we have
no "port" schedule.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GLOBAL
EXPLORERS FAMILY PROGRAM
In June 2017 we're launching our new
kids and teen program in Galápagos
that will eventually be available
fleetwide. Developed in conjunction
with National Geographic Education,
this unique exploration-based program will provide the most engaging
learning experience, tailored by age
for kids and teens.
