Europe Rivers
In 2026, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is bringing its hallmark expedition experience to Europe’s storied rivers with the debut of the 120-guest Connect, followed in 2027 by her sister ship Evolve, which introduces festive holiday-season sailings. Journey in luxurious comfort along the Rhine, the Main, the Danube and beyond—waterways lined with medieval towns, grand cathedrals and centuries of living history. A seasoned expedition team will provide rich insight throughout your voyage, while exclusive opportunities like intimate concerts, private access to famed castles and after-hours museum visits offer a deeper, more immersive way to explore Europe’s iconic rivers.
“We know that how you see it matters, and that’s why we’ve curated these river voyages with the same depth, care and expertise that define all of our expeditions.”
