| Lindblad Expeditions : National Geographic Islander | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Exploring Galápagos aboard the 48-guest National Geographic Islander allows you to experience the islands on an up-close, personal scale. Originally built for service in the Caribbean, and then later used for expeditions in the Scottish Highlands, the twin-hulled Islander has been sailing year-round in the Galápagos since 2004 and is perfectly suited to these wild islands. A nimble, modern ship, she offers an intimate environment and a friendly, convivial community quickly forms on board. Yacht-scaled and trim, her mahogany and gleaming brass fittings create a gracious and welcoming environment. Designed for active exploration, she can visit areas larger vessels can’t, and guests often compare Islander to being aboard a private yacht—one that’s as smart as she is lovely and dedicated to discovery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Lindblad Expeditions is thrilled to announce a new member of its fleet. Launching in August 2022, the sleek and elegant National Geographic Islander II will sail year-round in the Galápagos Islands and elevate the guest experience to an entirely new level. This new ship replaces the National Geographic Islander and carries the same number of guests. The National Geographic Islander II, a best-in-class expedition ship, expertly refitted to facilitate the active exploration at the heart of the Lindblad experience, has the spirit and soul of a private yacht. Accommodating just 48 guests, she is a spacious all-suite vessel with a 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio and five expedition staff. Guests will enjoy more space than ever before while exploring the Galápagos Islands. Travelers will find encircling teak decks that gracefully connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, indoor-outdoor dining options, a well-outfitted observation deck, 26 light and airy suites, and new expedition amenities including a marina and science hub. A true, ocean-going vessel, National Geographic Islander II is 280-feet long, 46-feet wide, and equipped with stabilizers for smooth sailing. Her refit for Galápagos includes key environmental and fuel-efficient upgrades like reduced outdoor lighting, special paint, and recycled water from the newly installed air conditioning system.?? |
