Canada

The ship National Geographic Explorer in Eclipse Sound, Bylot Island Glacier, Nunavut, Canada

Bound by rocky cliffs to the east, misty rainforests to the west and straits of snow and ice to the far north, Canada dazzles with its trove of natural treasures. Canadian voyages aboard the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet are expertly curated to help you gain a deeper knowledge of the Great White North and its rich cultural traditions. Sail to festive fishing villages in Newfoundland, kayak through the maze of coves and inlets of British Columbia or encounter majestic polar bears and dazzling icebergs in the icy channels of the Northwest Passage, gaining new perspectives from experts on a part of the world that is at once familiar and filled with wild surprises. 

It is fascinating to call at each island and see how their lives are inextricably tied to the seas through trade and fisheries—and it is just as fascinating to explore the ancient human history of the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America.

Expedition Team in Canada

Every member of the expedition team—from your naturalists and photographers to your expedition leaders—is committed to ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. Many are veteran guides chosen for their extensive knowledge of subjects like wildlife biology and climate science, while special guests—from whale researchers to interpreters of indigenous culture—offer additional insights into the region. Exploring in small groups, you’ll hear different perspectives each day of your voyage, and because there are no assigned groups you can gravitate toward the experts who share your interests and inspire your curiosity.


Your knowledgeable and passionate expedition team is complemented by your dedicated hotel team who strives to ensure that your time on board is as comfortable and rewarding as your time on shore.
