National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions will expand its Alaska program beginning in 2027 to meet strong and growing traveler demand. The company will charter the popular ship, Greg Mortimer, for a three-year period, enhancing its ability to explore more, offer new itineraries and continue building on its pioneering legacy in the Last Frontier.
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions
For nearly four decades, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has set the standard for expedition travel in Alaska, pioneering small-ship access that brings guests deep into the state’s most remote and remarkable wilderness areas. The addition of the Greg Mortimer is the perfect response to guests who consistently ask for expanded ways to experience Alaska with Lindblad’s unmatched expertise.
Purpose-built for remote environments, the Greg Mortimer features the innovative Ulstein X-BOW® for enhanced stability and comfort, dynamic positioning to help protect sensitive seafloors and multiple Zodiac loading platforms for seamless off-ship exploration. Plus, it offers expansive observation areas for exceptional wildlife and scenic viewing.
Accommodating 154 guests in thoughtfully designed cabins — many with private balconies — the vessel also includes dedicated learning and wellness spaces that complement the brand’s immersive expedition style.
The addition of the ship is paramount to the success of National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions in Alaska, since 2026 will be the farewell season of the Sea Bird and Sea Lion. These beloved ships have been the backdrop to countless memorable adventures for the company’s guests over many years.
