“Looking ahead, our net booking course remains strong for 2026 in both segments and is tracking significantly ahead of the prior year,” said Natalya Leahy, Lindblad Expeditions Holdings’ CEO, speaking on the company’s third quarter earnings call.

“We’ve seen a very encouraging uptick in 2027 bookings as well, as we just launched our 2027 deployment. Supporting our optimism, market conditions in the luxury travel segment remain highly favorable,” she added.

“Our onboard sales program performed exceptionally well, with bookings as a percentage more than tripled year-over-year, as our expedition experts effectively introduce guests to new destinations, converting them into repeat customers at the height of their excitement,” she noted.

Leahy also pointed out that Lindblad’s demand generation efforts have continued to drive strong booking momentum across 2025 and 2026, as well as for its recently launched 2027 itinerary.

Leahy highlighted that while the company is yet to give guidance for 2026, next year’s bookings have seen an uptick, and the company is working on multiple commercial initiatives.

As these have just been implemented this year, Leahy said they have yet to deliver results.

She added that Lindblad is working toward achieving historical occupancy levels of around 90 percent and is on track to meet these goals.
