Antarctica travel needs little preface from us: The grandeur of the place has been described in breathless prose in countless natural, wildlife and travel magazines. What is surprising, or newsworthy, is how nonchalantly some undertake an Antarctica expedition. Images, like the ones we regularly showcase in our brochures and on our site make it look deceptively simple, cute even. Sven Lindblad, however, remembers vividly how more than twenty–five years ago he and the Lindblad team struggled through the pioneering phase of their Antarctica expedition experience.

Why you might want to go there with Lindblad Expeditions: Our hard–won experience dating back to 1966 and countless voyages means you can safely go to an otherwise dangerous place — and have the absolute adventure of a lifetime. Our experience gives us the confidence to explore, to test limits — even to kayak in the berg fields — giving you an absolutely life–altering opportunity to experience this astonishing place not just from the ship's deck but at eye level. Glide by penguins, cupped within the grandeur, amid the sparkle of the ice and the fizzing of "Antarctic seltzer," the term for the trapped gasses escaping from the floating bits of the endlessly morphing bergs.

Explore aboard National Geographic Endeavour: Guests choose our expeditions for their adventurous aspects. However, once aboard National Geographic Endeavour, they discover that ship life can be just as satisfying – a chance to get away from it all. And, you’ll travel in the company of a National Geographic researcher, writer, photographer or explorer for rare, behind-the-scenes perspectives you won’t find anywhere else – awakening the joy of discovery in all explorers-at-heart.

Nothing rote, fresh Antarctic adventure daily: You'll profit daily from our expertise and ever–present drive to remain true to the concept of an expedition. Our veteran Captains and Expedition Leaders have 200 Antarctic expeditions under their belts. They'll take you to the legendary penguin colonies, but they'll also take you to barely–mapped places, spectacular coves like Lindblad Cove, named to honor early explorer, Lars-Eric Lindblad, and the founder of Lindblad Travel.

The soul of Antarctic expedition travel is this: To be on the nimble National Geographic Endeavour under the midnight sun in a land of white ice, girded by black mountains, sharing the snug warmth of a wood–panelled, ice-reinforced ship with nooks and crannies to settle into, enjoying gracious service and the company of others as keen on the adventure as you. This is the way to approach and savor Antarctica.
