Meet the experienced ice masters and sailors at the helm of our fleet

Captain

Captain

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions captains are among the most experienced in the industry, as comfortable maneuvering on the open sea as in the planet’s narrowest inlets and fjords. They are nimble and resourceful, piloting our vessels in regions of the world where conditions are constantly changing and reliable navigational maps are sometimes hard to come by. Many have earned the distinguished title of ice master and can bring us safely into the ice of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. 

Our captains are also enthusiastic explorers who seek out opportunities for discovery, whether that means veering off route to follow a pod of bottlenose dolphins or venturing close to shore to give guests a better look at a polar bear. 

With our open bridge policy, guests are welcome on the bridge at any time to watch the captain and crew at work and to learn about the intricacies of navigation.
