National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Offers Air Credit On Select 2027 Expeditions
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, the pioneer of modern expedition cruising, is offering travelers an air credit of up to $2,000 per person on select 2027 expeditions —from the glacier landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctica to the remote archipelagos of French Polynesia, Japan’s historic coastlines, and the rugged fjords of Patagonia.
The offer applies to qualifying bookings made between September 15 and November 4, 2026, when flights are booked through the Lindblad Expeditions Air Department.
As airfare costs continue to rise – a 17% year-over-year increase, according to Forbes – this offer makes the world’s most remote destinations more accessible. Guests can step onto Antarctic ice, search for polar bears among Svalbard’s sea ice, or explore UNESCO-protected atolls in the South Pacific.
As the pioneers of modern expedition travel with a longstanding commitment to exploring the world’s wildest places, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions offers travelers a way to experience these remarkable regions with depth and curiosity, while remaining flexible enough to follow wherever nature leads. Decades of exploration across the globe have also fostered relationships with local communities, creating opportunities for meaningful encounters with residents worldwide.
