As 2022 comes to an end, we invite you to reflect with us on the outstanding expedition moments of the past 12 months. There was a fervent desire to get back out in the world, and 2022 brought us closer to normal than we’ve been in a long time. We look forward to seeing you on board in the New Year! #HappyNewYear 🎊 . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #exploremore #getoutside

#OnThisDay in 1966, Lars-Eric Lindblad made history when he took 57 travelers on the first-ever 'citizen explorers' cruise to Antarctica. Regarded as the father of ecotourism, Lars-Eric believed that people who saw things with their own eyes would be a potent force for the preservation of the places they visited. . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #explorer #antarctica #exploremore #discovermore #expedition #travelgram #throwback

1.11.23: We arrived at Macquarie Island in the early hours of the morning, and we had what I can only define as an exquisite expedition day. The impeccable planning of the Expedition Leader and Captain on #NatGeoOrion made it possible to land on Macquarie, a very exposed island right in the middle of the Southern Ocean between New Zealand and Antarctica. It goes without saying that the Southern Ocean has one of the most difficult weather patterns in the world. Every trip involving this region is a true expedition. Luckily for us, the weather in the Southern Ocean has its cycles. Taking advantage of a pocket of good weather, we landed on the northeastern side of the island, close to Macquarie Island Station. The island was everything we were hoping for and more. Elephant seals and king penguins dominate the area, while giant petrels, skuas, and even the Macquarie cormorant flew above. We found king penguins and elephant seals all over the place, but the real treat for the afternoon was the presence of an endemic species of penguin found only on Macquarie Island, the royal penguin. All 850,000 pairs are found on this island during breeding season, and they occupy the rookeries during summertime. Our afternoon was spent strolling and observing the wildlife, as well as enjoying the striking scenery! - @lucho_natgeo, Expedition Leader aboard #NatGeoOrion in #Australia . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #expeditiontravel #adventuretravel #explorer #exploremore #wildlifephotography #travelgram

#MarksMoments: A brown bear in Southeast #Alaska patiently waits in the river stream of Pavlof Harbor, standing motionless in anticipation of a salmon dinner. It’s a peaceful moment of stillness, a beautiful reminder of the balance of nature. The bear waits patiently, knowing that success is only a few moments away. - @markacoger, Videographer . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #expeditiontravel #adventuretravel #exploremore #getoutside

#NatGeoVenture, like much of the wildlife she follows, is migratory. She follows the seasons from Alaska, along the coast of British Columbia, up the Columbia & Snake Rivers, and along the Baja coast and into the Sea of Cortez. In each region, her design innovations were informed by 50+ years of expedition expertise to ensure extraordinary discoveries. #ShipSaturday 🎥 @cullervideo . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #shiplife #cruiseship #expeditiontravel #adventuretravel #exploremore #vacation #familytravel #getaway #getoutside

Snorkeling with the playful sea lions of #BajaCalifornia is a unique experience for any nature lover. 🎥 by @rotifer7 . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #undersealife #snorkeling #vacation #familytravel #expedition #adventuretravel #exploremore

1.2.23: We started today’s expedition by visiting Fernandina Island. It was a wild visit. We saw a #Galápagos snake just next to our feet. A Galápagos hawk captured a baby marine iguana right in front of us, and a crab was bubbling foam as it prepared to shed. Sea lion mothers nursed their babies, and sea turtles swam in the bay. In the afternoon, we visited Punta Vicente Roca and took a Zodiac ride along the coast. We saw Galápagos penguins, sea turtles, and some Mola mola, known as the second largest fish in the world. Guests enjoyed learning about the geology of the place, and we spotted a flightless cormorant. The #GalápagosIslands never stop surprising us. It was a wonderful day aboard NatGeoEndeavorII. - @ixora_berdonces, Naturalist Discover Galápagos with us.

Dubbed “the world’s aquarium” by Jacques Cousteau, the waters and islands of #BajaCalifornia are places of legendary biodiversity. Whether watching bow-riding dolphins from the ship or snorkeling with sea lions, incredible marine wonders await above and below the vibrant sea. . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #vacation #familytravel #wildlife #adventuretravel #expedition #exploremore #getoutside

#Music is a conduit into the human soul,” says cultural specialist @jacobbogie who curates unique musical performances for our voyages around the globe. In this new short film, Jacob takes us inside his record label’s studio where he shares the influences that inspire his work and offers a glimpse into the surprising musical moments you can expect. “I try to guide people through a different understanding of music and how it can enhance their experience of the world around them.” 🎶 . . . #lindbladexpeditions #whereiexplore #music #culture #exploremore #getoutside #expeditiontravel #adventuretravel
