National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has unveiled its 2028-29 deployment.

The season has introduced new and expanded itineraries across Antarctica, the Arctic, Alaska, Europe and the South Pacific.

The company said in a press release that highlights of the 2028-29 season include the following:

French Polynesia

French Polynesia returns with new seven- and 14-day itineraries featuring the only continued voyage connecting Easter Island, Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, Makatea and the Tuamotus.

Guests visit Makatea as well as Pitcairn Island. Select departures sail with Tua Pittman, one of fewer than ten living Pwo navigators, who guides traditional wayfinding across this remote island chain.

The itineraries are co-developed by Sven Lindblad and master navigator Tua Pittman.

Southeast Alaska

Longer Southeast Alaska itineraries are on offer with a new round-trip voyage from Vancouver aboard the Greg Mortimer.

There are also longer voyages aboard the National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture. Select voyages include onboard Alaska Whale Foundation researchers.

British and Irish Isles

Jacob Edgar, the expedition’s exclusive ethnomusicologist, connects Celtic musical traditions of the British and Irish Isles in real time as guests sail between regions.

In Cobh, Ireland, guests explore the Titanic’s final port, the Lusitania rescue, and Great Famine emigration history through the heritage center.

Antarctica

New holiday departures allow guests to celebrate the season in Antarctica, with expanded Cruise/Fly options and the Southern Ocean Odyssey combining Patagonia, the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica in a single voyage. Longer itineraries regularly cross the Antarctic Circle.

Iceland/Greenland

The Arctic season introduces more departures and extended routes, including voyages that spend more than five days on Baffin Island, offering deeper exploration than standard itineraries, and a 10-night circumnavigation of Iceland, a new peak season voyage around the full island.

Svalbard/Norway

The voyages will sail the country’s fjords, explore Svalbard and join naturalists track a newly discovered, genetically unique polar bear population in King Frederick VI Land, Greenland, as one of the very few operators contributing to this field search.

Canada

In the Canadian Arctic, guests will journey through the Northwest Passage. Highlights include tracing the lineage of Arctic exploration to the Maritimes, from vestiges of the Vikings, Basque whalers, and French settlers.

European River Voyages

These voyages combine cultural immersion with exclusive access and after-hours experiences.

Highlights include meeting Holocaust survivors, private after-hours visits to Melk Abbey and Clam Castle and holiday sailings through Danube Christmas markets.
