**Eight Transformative Adventures That Cross Oceans, Continents and Countries**

NEW YORK, NY, July 26, 2022 – For those looking to slow down and explore the world in a different more comprehensive way, Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic has designed eight epic voyages that provide extraordinary opportunities to see the world. These extended-length excursions will bring guests to seldom-seen and rarely explored destinations, reminiscent of true exploration of years past – longer, to more remote areas, and more time with fellow explorers.    

Navigate New Zealand's verdant coastlines and watch for whales, dolphins, and seals. Encounter Indonesia’s many cultures along its lush tropical isles. These wide-ranging itineraries are carefully crafted with Lindblad Expeditions' 50+ years' experience in remote, wild, and fascinating places—made for explorers looking to go farther and engage fully with each destination.

Perhaps the most surprising, and meaningful, part of these epic adventures takes place not in the wild, but on board. "With enough time,” says Founder and Co-chair of the Board Sven Lindblad, “you’re not just a guest, you’re somebody that everybody gets to know.”

These transformative expeditions provide unforgettable adventures that cross oceans, continents, and countries. Here are highlights of Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic’s upcoming epic voyages.  Rates are per person based on double occupancy:
