The National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Fleet in Alaska

Next-Generation Expedition Ships

Modern vessels designed to expand the fleet's expedition capabilities, including Greg Mortimer, National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture.

The Untamed North: Discover Alaska with the Experts in Exploration

The most rewarding way to experience Alaska is to go beyond its well-known sights and explore its remote, lesser-traveled corners—places where wildlife is abundant, landscapes feel truly wild and time allows for meaningful discovery. From glacier-carved fjords and old-growth rainforests to rich Indigenous cultures and extraordinary wildlife, this vast frontier rewards travelers who are curious and willing to explore in depth.

For more than four decades, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has approached Alaska with this philosophy in mind: providing thoughtful access to wild places while fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world. Rather than following a fixed itinerary, each expedition is shaped by the environment itself. Weather, wildlife activity, tides and opportunity guide each day, allowing for flexibility, spontaneity and immersive experiences that feel personal and unhurried.

Purpose-Built Expedition Ships

Smaller, highly maneuverable vessels designed for frequent landings and intimate exploration of Alaska’s waterways and shorelines. National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion embody the heritage of the Alaska program and will complete their final Alaska sailings at the end of the 2026 season.

Alaska Escape: LeConte Bay, Wrangell and Misty Fjords

6 days, May-August

Experience the pure power of primal wilderness on this compact, six-day expedition along the untamed southern regions of Southeast Alaska. Witness the electric blues of iceberg-dotted LeConte Bay and navigate narrow channels like Behm and Blake, as well as Walker Cove in Misty Fjords. Board Zodiacs to explore Prince of Wales Island and take kayaks and paddleboards into salmon-studded waters to trace the rugged, wildlife-rich shorelines of Kupreanof Island.

Ship: National Geographic Sea Bird
Ship: National Geographic Sea Lion

Voyage to Alaska, British Columbia and Haida Gwaii

15 Days, April, August, September 

By special invitation, visit the remote, moss-draped archipelago of Haida Gwaii—the ancestral territory of the Haida Nation. Sail the Inside Passage of Alaska and British Columbia, rich with marine life, including whales and dolphins. Spend a full day among the towering glaciers and expansive wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park. Walk in silent old-growth forests, kayak in secluded coves, and search for foraging bears and soaring eagles in mist-shrouded fjords.

Ship: National Geographic Sea Bird

Their ships, like MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen, MS Fram and MS Santa Cruz II are sized to balance comfort and access: large enough to carry full expedition gear, small‑boat Zodiacs and scientific equipment — yet compact enough to navigate remote coastlines, narrow fjords, and ice‑filled waters unreachable by larger ships.

What truly elevates the journey is the suite‑level accommodation. HX suites offer spacious living areas, floor‑to‑ceiling windows or private balconies (some even with outdoor tubs), walk‑in storage for gear and personal items, luxurious en‑suite bathrooms, and premium touches like welcome champagne, in‑suite espresso machines, and priority boarding.

From early Arctic voyages to today’s small-ship adventures, HX’s legacy is built on expertise, innovation, and a deep respect for nature.

Sail Deeper into the Mediterranean and Caribbean with Star Clippers

Some destinations are best approached by sea. Harbors open slowly, coastlines reveal their shape over time, and arrival feels connected to place rather than scheduled around it. Star Clippers’ tall ships are designed for exactly this kind of travel, and right now, select sailings offer added value for travelers ready to explore the world from the water.

Tall Ships, Mediterranean Coasts, Island Harbors, and Historic Ports

In the Mediterranean, Star Clippers sailings connect coastal towns and island ports that have welcomed sailors for centuries. Ships dock close to town centers, allowing guests to step directly into daily life. Mornings might begin with a walk through a quiet harbor village, afternoons spent exploring stone streets or swimming off the ship, and evenings lingering over dinner as lights come up along the quay.

These itineraries pair well-known destinations with smaller ports that larger ships bypass, creating a journey shaped by geography and rhythm rather than crowds or tight schedules.

To make these 2026 Caribbean and Mediterranean voyages even more rewarding guests will receive $150 On Board Credit per cabin.*

  • Save up to 65% Off Brochure Rates on select 2026 sailings.

  • Enjoy $150 USD or CAD onboard credit per stateroom on select sailings*.

Caribbean Sailing Beyond the Obvious

In the Caribbean, Star Clippers moves beyond the typical cruise circuit. Sailings blend iconic islands with tucked-away anchorages across the Grenadines, Grenada, and other lesser-visited corners of the region. Days unfold naturally around swimming stops, beach landings, and time ashore in places where life still revolves around the water.

The result is a Caribbean experience that feels relaxed, personal, and closely tied to the sea itself.

A Sailing Experience That Matches the Destinations

Star Clippers’ tall ships carry fewer than 230 guests, creating an onboard atmosphere that feels open and unhurried. Polished teak decks, billowing sails, and unobstructed ocean views reinforce the connection between ship and destination. When conditions allow, engines fall silent and the ship moves under sail, adding a sense of occasion to each day at sea.

This style of sailing complements the destinations perfectly.

Right Now Is A Smart Time to Book

Expedia offers an opportunity to secure special values on select Star Clippers voyages while availability is strongest. Booking early provides the best choice of itineraries and cabin categories on sailings that often fill well in advance.

Why Choose Star Clippers For Your Next Adventure:

Destination-driven itineraries designed around smaller ports and coastal access

  • Added $150 USD or CAD Onboard Credit on select voyages.
  • An intimate onboard atmosphere shaped by tradition and craftsmanship
  • A relaxed pace that balances time ashore with meaningful sailing days
