“Our 2027–2028 itinerary reflects everything our guests value about traveling with us: extraordinary access, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for the environments and cultures we visit,” said Trey Byus, Director of Expeditions at Lindblad Expeditions. “Each itinerary—whether a crowd favorite or a returning route—has been carefully crafted to deliver experiences that are not only breathtaking but also positively impactful. We believe travel can be a powerful force for good, and through these journeys, we invite our guests to deepen their connection to the planet, support conservation and local communities, and return home with a renewed sense of wonder and purpose.”
