National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions unveils more 2028-29 sailings

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has released the final collection of sailings in its 2028–29 deployment.

Building on the first collection of 2028–29 voyages announced in August, the newly released itineraries feature the Galápagos Islands, Baja California and the Amazon; introduce a new Costa Rica and Panama expedition; and offer journeys through Egypt and Peru.

Trey Byus, chief expedition officer at Lindblad Expeditions, said: “We’re constantly looking for ways to give guests more depth, more access and more opportunities to explore actively. The 2028–29 deployment reflects that approach, with new combinations, extended itineraries and intimate vessels that allow guests to experience these places in ways larger ships simply cannot.

“That might mean spending more time in the Galápagos, exploring the Amazon by skiff and kayak, or seamlessly connecting Costa Rica and Panama in one continuous expedition.”

Highlights of the 2028–29 season include eight itineraries in the Galápagos, from seven to 17 days. Extended back-to-back packaged sailings through the destination offer more time to explore the archipelago’s varied islands and ecosystems.

In 2029, the Peru and Galápagos Escape itinerary will explore Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with expert historians and local guides before continuing to the Galápagos.

In Costa Rica and Panama, a new 15-day itinerary connects Costa Rica’s Pacific wilderness and Guanacaste highlands with Panama’s rainforests, Pearl Islands and Canal. An expanded eight-day Guanacaste itinerary offers more time to explore the region’s landscapes, wildlife and culture.

From November 2028 to October 2029, Upper Amazon: A River Expedition explores the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve aboard Delfin II and Delfin III.

National Geographic Quest will offer Baja California Discovery: Exploring Mexico’s Gulf of California; Baja California: Among the Great Whales; and Baja California Holiday: A Living Sea and Desert Isles.

In Egypt, The Passage Through Egypt Aboard Oberoi Philae itinerary connects Cairo to Abu Simbel aboard the 44-guest Oberoi Philae.
