Antarctica Expedition Cruises

In 1966, Lars-Eric Lindblad brought the first tourists to Antarctica, pioneering an approach to exploration that continues to define every National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyage at the bottom of the globe. Guided by six decades of expedition heritage, veteran captains and expedition teams follow opportunity rather than a fixed itinerary, adapting to weather, wildlife and shifting ice to reveal Antarctica at its most extraordinary. Venture farther into the ice aboard a state-of-the-art polar ship, then step ashore among thousands of penguins, kayak next to towering icebergs and watch whales surface at eye level during a Zodiac cruise. With more time to explore beyond the ship—and every departure accompanied by a National Geographic Photographer—you'll experience the White Continent with the depth, flexibility and expertise that have defined our expeditions here for decades.
