THE 2019 SEASON WILL BE PARTICULARLY EXCITING AS WE

proudly welcome the brand-new National Geographic Venture

to join National Geographic Quest in the Pacific Northwest. Our

new twin ships are perfect platforms for exploring this region:

with tiered bows for unobstructed wildlife viewing, and so you

won’t miss a moment of the magnificent landscapes.

For those who favor a smaller vessel, we’ve added a Fall 2019

departure on the Columbia & Snake rivers aboard the tried-and-

true, 62-guest National Geographic Sea Lion. This intimately

scaled ship has plied these waters for decades providing the

same off-the-beaten-track experiences as our new ships.

All three vessels are equipped with a roster of exploration tools

that make expedition travel so rewarding: A fleet of expedition

landing craft on each allows us to make landfall quickly, while

kayaks and paddleboards enable you to get out on personal

water-level adventures.

THE PERFECT PLATFORM

THREE SPECTACULAR EXPEDITION SHIPS THAT GO WHERE OTHERS CANNOT

“ We are thrilled with our brand-new sister ships, National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture, designed to give a complement of 100 guests the same intimate, inclusive experience the 62-guest National Geographic Sea Bird and Sea Lion have provided for 35 years. They’ve introduced a generation to the profound joys of up-close, personal exploration with expert naturalists, and a collegial expedition community.

BRITISH COLUMBIA & SAN JUANS

YOU’LL EXPLORE NOT JUST ONE STUNNING SHORELINE

but many on this expedition—the first exploration of this

region aboard National Geographic Venture. Our brand-

new, state-of-the-art ship threads the Inside Passage,

tucks into straits and sounds, and weaves through island

groups known for their charm: the San

Juan Islands, Vancouver Island, and

the Gulf Islands. There is much to

see, and even more to do—from

wildlife sighting and personal forays

into nature by Zodiac, kayak, or

paddleboard, to active engagement

with the culture and beauty of the First

Nation lands, and cosmopolitan Victoria. And, of course,

we take advantage of the Pacific Northwest’s renowned

food culture. Our team is committed to using ingredients

sourced within a 150-mile radius of where we explore—

from sustainable growers, producers, and fisheries.

Join our Oct. 5 or 12, 2019 departure and sail with National Geographic Photographer Krista Rossow, who will share her wealth of travel photography wisdom and experience from around the world. All expeditions sail with a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor trained to help you with camera settings and compositions to help you get your best photos ever.

Responsibility and Other Terms & Conditions: Certain provisions concerning, among other things, limitations of Lindblad Expeditions’ and the National Geographic Society’s liability for loss of property, injury, illness or death during the voyage will be provided to all guests on the ship’s ticket sent prior to departure, and are also available on our website at www.expeditions.com/terms, or upon request. By registering for a trip, the guest agrees to all such terms and conditions.

Note: Itineraries and prices listed in this brochure are as of publication date and are subject to change. Under normal conditions the total expedition price is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, our expedition pricing is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event of increases in those costs, including but not limited to increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to adjust the price of your expedition or add a surcharge to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide an explanation of the reason for increase in costs.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellation penalties may apply after payment is received. Please visit www.expeditions.com/terms for complete cancellation policies.

Unused services or items included in our programs are non-refundable.
