Talk to an Expedition Specialist

When Lars-Eric Lindblad, now considered the father of eco-tourism, led the first-ever citizen-explorer expedition to Antarctica 1966,  he invented the category of expedition travel. Along with him were 57 pioneering individuals, intrepid travelers, ready to embrace the notion of going where only professional explorers or scientists had gone before.

We honor Lars-Eric’s courage, vision, and the curiosity of our guests, then and now.
