About Lindblad Expeditions

Lindblad Expeditions arranges adventure travel by sea and by land, taking travelers on expedition voyages and guided journeys through a group of brands built around exploration rather than conventional sightseeing. Its main Lindblad line runs ship-based trips, while related brands extend the offering into other styles of travel: eco-focused small group tours, upscale cycling trips, active and custom journeys through national parks, and walking itineraries led by local guides.

The company runs its own fleet of ten expedition ships and supplements this with five additional vessels chartered for parts of the year, giving it capacity to operate across different routes and seasons. Alongside its owned Lindblad brand, it oversees Natural Habitat, DuVine, Off the Beaten Path, and Classic Journeys, each aimed at travelers seeking a particular kind of small-group or private adventure. It also works with the National Geographic Society as part of how it develops and presents its trips.

Lindblad Expeditions was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in New York, New York. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker LIND.
