Azores to Barcelona: A Special Solar Eclipse Voyage

The headline itinerary of the 2027–28 season is “Azores to Barcelona: A Special Solar Eclipse Voyage.” This two-week journey aboard the National Geographic Orion will coincide with the total solar eclipse of August 2027, giving travelers the chance to witness the phenomenon from the deck of a ship in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The voyage blends celestial spectacle and cultural exploration, featuring a private visit to the Alhambra in Granada, tours of Tangier and Malaga, and on-board lectures by astronomers, naturalists, and National Geographic photographers.

Baffin Island: Exploring Canada’s Wild Arctic Frontier

This newly introduced Arctic voyage takes guests deep into one of the world’s most pristine wilderness regions. Sailing aboard the National Geographic Resolution, travelers will explore the rugged coastlines of Baffin Island, where glaciers, fjords, and polar bears define the landscape.

Zodiac excursions, hiking, and kayaking opportunities are led by scientists and Arctic experts, giving guests insight into the region’s unique ecology and indigenous heritage.

Fabled Lands of the North: Greenland to Newfoundland

Revived from Lindblad’s 2024 season, this 16-day journey navigates from Nuuk, Greenland, to Newfoundland, Canada. Passengers aboard the National Geographic Explorer will follow in the footsteps of early explorers, traversing ice fields and remote settlements.

With onboard archaeologists and naturalists, guests can experience the Arctic’s near-perfect light and the cultural blend of Inuit and Norse influences that define this storied route.

Exploring Patagonia’s National Parks from Punta Arenas to Puerto Montt

One of the brand’s most beloved itineraries, this 17-day expedition reveals the wild beauty of southern Chile. Sailing on the National Geographic Resolution, travelers will journey from the fjords of Torres del Paine National Park to the volcanic landscapes of Chiloe Island. Highlights include special access to the Karukinka Reserve, kayaking among glaciers, and guided hikes through some of Patagonia’s most remote national parks.

Fiji and Tahiti Adventure: Vibrant Reefs and Cultural History

Returning by popular demand, this South Pacific itinerary immerses guests in island traditions, coral reef ecosystems, and oceanic exploration. Travelers will sail between Fiji and Tahiti, discovering unspoiled lagoons, attending local ceremonies, and snorkeling alongside marine biologists studying vibrant reef habitats.

European Voyages: Atlantic Horizons and Continental Crossroads

Expanding its European presence, National Geographic-Lindblad introduces several new routes across the continent’s western and southern coasts. “Spain, Portugal and Morocco: Atlantic Horizons” and “Continental Crossroads: Spain, Morocco and the Canary Islands” bring guests to a mix of iconic cities and hidden gems, while “Porto, Bordeaux and Bergen: Wonders of Western Europe” showcases the continent’s cultural and culinary diversity. These itineraries aboard the National Geographic Orion and Endurance highlight both history and modern maritime life.

Across all expeditions, guests will be guided by a multidisciplinary team of naturalists, historians, scientists, and National Geographic Experts. Each voyage emphasizes sustainability, education, and meaningful connection with the environment.

From the Arctic’s ice-bound wilderness to the tropical coral seas of the Pacific, the 2027–28 season reaffirms National Geographic-Lindblad’s role as a leader in responsible adventure travel – one that continues to inspire curiosity and conservation around the globe.
