When you hear the word “expedition”, do you picture rugged explorers with ice axes, scaling mountain peaks and eating freeze-dried meals?
You’re not alone. The word can sound a bit intimidating.
But here’s the truth:
Expedition cruising isn’t about being extreme. It’s about being curious.
Yes, these journeys take you to places big ships can’t go—like Antarctica, the Galápagos, South Georgia, or the fjords of Greenland. Yes, you’ll likely hop into a Zodiac and maybe pull on a pair of boots.
But do you need to ride like you’re in the Tour de France or be able to summit Kilimanjaro?
Absolutely not.
If you can:
✔️ Step in and out of a bathtub
✔️ Walk about a mile (sometimes on uneven ground)
✔️ Manage a wet landing (with expedition guides’ assistance) from a small boat or climb a few stairs
…you’re in great shape for an expedition cruise.
In the past year, I’ve personally sailed to Antarctica aboard Lindblad’s National Geographic Endurance, cruised the North Atlantic on Ponant’s luxury icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot, and explored remote islands that feel truly untouched.
These voyages are luxurious and educational—complete with naturalists, marine biologists, historians, and world-class photography guides onboard. And the food, service, and ship design? No compromise.
💥 Right now, Lindblad Expeditions is offering an exclusive 35% off select sailings for Canadian residents—including departures to Antarctica, the Galápagos, the Canaries, Croatia, Greece & Turkey.
