As industry pioneers, we have been bringing travelers to the farthest reaches of the planet for over 50 years. We have decades of experience balancing adventure and safety, plus deep-rooted networks in the communities where we explore.

Pre-Departure Requirements

To best ensure a successful voyage, we recommend that all guests take a pre-departure COVID-19 test within five days of the start of your expedition. We also continue to recommend that you follow all CDC travel guidelines, including masking and social distancing, prior to joining the group and exercise extra caution leading up to your voyage.

Lindblad Expeditions does not require guests (regardless of age) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of their trip*. Lindblad Expeditions recommends that all guests be up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations before travel.

Welcome Aboard

Once onboard, our goal is to provide the same exhilarating expedition experience our guests have come to know and love. We’ll search for wildlife, explore with the expedition equipment, and revel in the wonders of the natural world. Much of our time is spent outdoors in fresh air and expansive landscapes ideal for social distancing.

Staff Requirements

Anyone who has traveled with us before knows our expedition team will do whatever it takes to ensure exhilarating discoveries run smoothly and safely. And our small scale, plus high staff to guest ratios, allow us to provide extra attention to all our sanitation efforts.
