Since our inception, we’ve remained true to our passion for exploring the world’s most remote and wild places, sharing these extraordinary experiences with like-minded travelers. Our small-group, personal expeditions allow for deeper connections—to nature, to our expert expedition team, and to your fellow expeditioners. Guided by some of the world’s best remote area specialists, every journey is enriched with fascinating lectures and insights that bring each destination to life. Whether you’re embarking on your first expedition or returning for another adventure, our mission remains the same: to take you beyond the ordinary, offering immersive, unforgettable experiences that stir the soul and inspire a lifelong connection to the natural world.

Since 1896, we’ve been taking curious travelers on mindful expeditions to the most remote and awe-inspiring places on the planet. Today we invite you to join us on an expedition with HX – and change the way you see the world. To travel with HX is to open yourself to a world of awe. From cultural encounters to wildlife wonders, what you see and learn on your trip will inspire and energize you. And when you come back home, you’ll have a deeper, richer love of the planet we all share.

For more than 55 years National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions have been sailing to captivating places near and far in pursuit of discovery, bringing along adventurous travelers to share in the thrill of uncovering the world’s wild secrets. From Antarctica to the high Arctic, from Alaska to the Galapagos, Baja to French Polynesia, discover voyages that venture to the lands where wildness reigns. Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic vessels are built small and nimble (no more than 148 passengers) so guests can venture deeper into remote places. The veteran expedition team who leads these voyages are able to illuminate all you see, and with exciting tools like glass-bottom boats and undersea video cameras to use to explore up close and personally.  Because when it comes to exploration, it’s not just what you see, but how you see it that matters.
