Lindblad Expeditions - A Pioneering Legacy

“We have always had a very distinct north star,” says Lindblad Expeditions Founder Sven Lindblad. “If we can provide people with extraordinary experiences in the world’s most charismatic places … they form a connection with the natural world that is truly profound.”

That guiding principle can be traced back to 1966, when Sven’s father, Lars-Eric Lindblad, led the first non-scientific voyage to Antarctica, pioneering expedition travel and charting a new course for modern exploration. Sixty years later, that same spirit endures as a global legacy of discovery—driven by curiosity, guided by purpose and rooted in a deep commitment to our planet.

In this short film, Sven reflects on his father’s groundbreaking journey, the company’s evolution and the enduring purpose that continues to inspire new generations of explorers.
