Lindblad Expeditions has announced their return to Antarctica for 2021/2022.  The season will kick off on November 3, 2021 and they will have  three Lindblad-National Geographic ships in the region – their extraordinary new polar vessels, National Geographic Resolution and National Geographic Endurance, plus National Geographic Explorer, the definitive expedition ship.  All top-tier Ice Class vessels equipped with state-of the-art tools and a renowned expedition team, they are incredible bases for the adventure of a lifetime. Guests will embark their ship for departure in Ushuaia, Argentina.

With 50+ years providing polar exploration in the heart of the last great wildness, Lindblad Expeditions’ unique itineraries will showcase these pristine (and naturally socially distanced) landscapes, where guests will have the penguins, whales, and epic natural beauty almost to themselves.  Itineraries include the 14-day Journey to Antarctica: The White Continent;  24-day Antarctica, South Georgia & the Falklands;  19-day South Georgia & the Falklands; 20-day Patagonia & Antarctica: Legendary Ice and Epic Fjords (this voyage embarks in Punta Arenas); and 33-day Epic Antarctica: South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia & The Peninsula.  Rates begin at $15,080 per person based on double occupancy in a category 1 cabin.

And with the increase of family travel to Antarctica, Lindblad will roll out their National Geographic Global Explorers program onboard their ships this season.  The exclusive family friendly program, led by a National Geographic trained education specialist, is currently featured on the line’s Galápagos, Alaska and Baja voyages, and facilitates educational activities and experiences designed to help kids and teens make the most of their expedition.
