The White Continent, Through Your Eyes
In 1966, Lars-Eric Lindblad brought the first tourists to Antarctica, pioneering a new kind of travel: expedition cruising. What began as a single voyage has grown into thousands of journeys to the far corners of the Earth aboard the largest and most versatile fleet in the industry.
In 2026, we celebrate 60 years of pioneering travel in Antarctica—and we invite you to be part of this special milestone. Journey with us to the white continent and experience the spirit of discovery that continues to define expedition cruising.
Share your Antarctica story: If Antarctica has already left its mark on you, we invite you to help us tell the story of these six remarkable decades. Submit your photos and reflections from our Antarctic voyages—whether you're a guest, travel advisor or team member—and help inspire the next generation of polar explorers.
