EDIFYING. EXHILARATING. AND DEEPLY MOVING.

The Antarctic ice sheet is the most distinctive feature

of Earth as seen from space—every astronaut’s account

mentions it. And the ice is what makes every Antarctic

explorer vow to return. There’s a whole glossary of ice

words to learn—macro-scale terms like fast ice, leads, and

growlers, to more granular terms like brash and bergy

bits. Ice is visually stunning, and nearly kaleidoscopic in

its diversity of form. But what’s exhilarating to discover is

the ice’s voice. Sitting in a stilled kayak, listening to the

subtle sibilance of thousand-year-old gases releasing

from a bobbing field of floating bergy bits is like eaves-

dropping on Earth’s whispered secrets. Once you’ve

experienced it, you’ll never forget it.

“ The single best whale encounter I’ve ever had. Over the course of two rounds of Zodiac cruises a group of very friendly humpbacks circled our Zodiac in a clear display of curiosity. It was a highlight of the trip for many of the guests that were nearby including myself.”

— ERIC GUTHNaturalist/Certified Photo Instructor

ULTIMATE POLAR EXPEDITION SHIPSEXPLORING ANTARCTICA SHOULD BE A PINNACLE EVENT IN

a traveller’s life. We’re committed to doing whatever it takes

to make your experience the most memorable ever—and

our expedition ships are key. Top-tier Ice Class vessels,

each is purpose-designed and built, incorporating 50+ years

of polar experience, for exploring the ice in comfort and

safety. The captains of the Lindblad-National Geographic

fleet are extraordinary mariners, with decades of ice

navigation expertise. Our expedition teams are hand-picked

for their knowledge of polar natural history and their ice

skills. Equipped with state-of-the-art tools, our ships are

unparalleled bases for explorations. And the logistics on

each are superb, designed to swiftly and efficiently get you

off ship on your choice of thrilling daily forays.

The captains of the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet are extraordinary mariners. For example, Leif Skog, Lindblad VP of Marine Operations and Master of the National Geographic Explorer, has been navigating vessels in Antarctica nearly every season since 1979 on over 200 polar voyages. As past Chairman of the IAATO Marine Committee (Int’l Assn. of Antarctic Tour Operators), he was a primary architect of the IAATO Emergency Contingency Plan for all vessels operating in Antarctica.

“ After breakfast, we zipped to shore at Brown Bluff,

a fascinating geologic area where we found hundreds

of penguins. This is a colony which supported 100,000

pairs of Adélie penguins earlier in the season, but is

now reaching the season’s end. There were a handful of

Adélie chicks and many gentoo chicks testing the waters

and exercising their wings. The beach shallows were

kiddy pools filled with fluffy chicks sticking their heads

into the water, wading in, and being pushed around by

small incoming waves. We enjoyed watching their antics

for a couple of hours, as well as finding a solitary fur seal,

and taking a hike onto the edge of a glacier.”

“ I’m a highly active person, so always appreciate every chance to get off ship. And in the early season, when our captains can “garage” the ship in the frozen sea ice, everyone can descend directly for a once-in-a-lifetime walk, snowshoe or cross-country ski trek. When the conditions are just right, it’s a thrilling and incredibly memorable way to experience this vast landscape. It also shows that there is never a dull moment, or a ‘lesser’ time to go, during our Antarctic season.”

EXPLORE YOUR WAY EACH DAY

OUR ANTARCTIC ITINERARIES ARE CRAFTED BY EXPLORERS,

and every itinerary point features opportunities to head out

and discover, in one dynamic way or another. The freedom

of choice means opportunities to choose how active you’ll

be, whether kayaking among bergy bits, hiking up a ridge

to a vista overlooking a cove, or instead taking a short stroll

along the shore where penguins are gathered. Our seamless

shore-landing operation, perfected over decades, gets you

quickly ashore to share in exploring. Your freedom of choice

extends to which members of our naturalist staff you choose

to spend time with aboard ship. With a diverse team with

broad expertise, you may choose to join your photo instructor

at the deck rail to get tips on landscape photography,

or stand next to an expert birder with binoculars in hand,

or join one of our knowledgeable historians to learn about

the golden age of Antarctic exploration in the region we’re

exploring. You can begin each day with a morning stretch

class, or a pre-breakfast coffee at the 24/7 coffee/tea

stations on the ship. Revisit the day at evening recap, while

enjoying drinks with your traveling companions, or by relax-

ing solo in one of the ship’s many nooks and crannies where

you can read or journal.

born Antarctic explorer, too. But sometimes even the most intrepid of adventurers need

a guide—and that’s where we come in. Our team has the knowledge and passion for

Antarctica that will kindle yours. They will do whatever it takes, from manning spotting

scopes to search for whales; lingering on deck to shoot photos of passing petrels; to

finding and exploring uncharted coves and waterways when conditions enable it.

DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES

“ A Zodiac foray in search of leopard seals with a polar expert had us searching the brash ice that the seals gravitate to. We navigated from ice floe to floe. Sure enough, there it was! We slowly approached the ice while he radioed to other Zodiacs in the area so they could see too. Will never forget that serpentine smile. (The leopard seal, not the staff.)”

BECAUSE THE UNDERSEA IS VITAL TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF

Antarctica, we’ve committed the technology and personnel resources

to offer what no other travel company in Antarctica does—an

exploration of the vivid and surprising world beneath our ship.

During the voyage, an undersea specialist will don special polar

diving gear to explore and shoot video of the Antarctic marine

environment and its otherworldly creatures. You’ll get to see this

amazing world on TV screens in the warm comfort of the lounge,

with our undersea specialist as your guide. You’ll see what lies

beneath the ice and discover strange and wonderful lifeforms. In

some cases, our specialists have photographed specimens not

known to scientists. See the life lived on Antarctica’s ice, and the

marine life found deep beneath the surface.

“ It was the actual anniversary date of Lars-Eric Lindblad’s first expedition to

Antarctica in 1966, and we’d all had a champagne toast in the lounge in

his honour. After dinner, a few people noticed the sky becoming pink,

then orange…and before I knew it, I was on the stern watching the

fieriest sunset of my life—at 11:00 p.m.—the entire sky flooded with reds,

pinks, yellows, and oranges across the horizon, illuminating the peaks.

Even long-time naturalists like Pete Puleston and Bud Lehnhausen said

they’d never seen a sunset like that in Antarctica.”

IT IS AN ASTONISHING SIGHT—100,000+ KING PENGUINS IN ONE

rookery. The sheer biomass, the ruckus, the sensory overload

will stop you in your tracks. But the profusion of life in South

Georgia goes so far beyond this one spectacle that it boggles the

mind and sends your spirit soaring. Dense colonies of macaroni

and gentoo penguins, lolling fur seals, and 8,000-pound

elephant seals. In the Falklands, find cliffs teeming with black-

browed, albatross—nearly a third of all birds of this species nest

here. Discover the fascinating human history in Shackleton’s

heroics, the whaling lore of Stromness in South Georgia, and in

the remote settlements of the Falklands.

LUXURY OF COMFORT IN A CAPITAL OF WILDNESSOUR FOUR POLAR SHIPS, THE FINEST BASECAMPS AN

explorer could want, allow us to freely roam. They are equipped

with a fleet of Zodiacs and kayaks for up-close and personal

explorations. The Bridge is welcoming, inviting you to spend

time with the Captain and officers, watching the calm business of

navigation unfold. Our expedition ships are also equipped for living

well. The lounge, dining room, and other public spaces contribute

to the esprit de corps that is a hallmark of our expeditions. A library

serves those who want to learn more about the region or curl up

with a best seller. The observation lounge is a fine spot to gather

for a light meal or to watch petrels soar overhead as we sail. And a

fully stocked bar is a place to relax or engage with fellow travellers.

The wellness centre, gym, sauna, and stretching sessions with our

wellness specialist boost the tonic of wildness nature provides.

And cosseting cabins, outfitted with our signature linens and

feather duvets provide the perfect ending to active days.

“Before lunch, we set up the kayak platform and offered the chance for a “Polar Plunge.” This was not really a swim, because those that did it pretty much jumped into the water and then got back out as fast as humanly possible. Amazingly, about 90 of our guests partook in this crazy activity.”

ALL THE LINDBLAD-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC POLAR SHIPS SHARE MATCHING

appetites for adventure and dining excellence. Each ship’s Executive Chef brings

menu concepts, collectively designed by our Director of Hotel Operations, Ana

Esteves, to life daily. Count on them to keep your expeditionary spirit well fed, so to

speak, and for daily diversity and flavours from varying regions. Our pioneering

culinary program is rooted in sustainability. We obtain fresh vegetables from a local

grower in the Falklands, and fresh lamb from an island rancher. Our goal is for our

guests to experience the geography through the food served wherever possible.

Dining is part of the expedition experience and no assigned seating makes for easy

mingling with congenial fellow guests and expedition staffers.

There are 6 important questions to ask before you decide with whom to book your Antarctic adventure. This guide answers them all:

Note: Itineraries and prices listed in this brochure are valid as of publication date, and are subject to change. Under normal conditions, the total expedition cost is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, the published price is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event we determine that current costs create an unsustainable financial model, including but not limited to increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to pass on these costs to you, to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide a transparent accounting of the reason for such an increase in costs.
