On July 10, the newest ships in our Galápagos fleet—National Geographic Gemini and National Geographic Delfina—were officially named in a heartfelt ceremony that was rooted in community, purpose and pride. This special day honored multigenerational members of the local community, underscoring Lindblad Expeditions nearly 60-year commitment to the people of Galápagos and our dedication to preserving and protecting the islands for generations to come.

“Together, we named these two ships not just in ceremony, but in promise—a promise to listen, to learn, to protect, to honor this special place and to carry forward Lindblad Expeditions’ mission,” said CEO Natalya Leahy who was on hand for the dual naming.
