Cruise Line ProgramsSmall expedition ships and National Geographic expertise, for groups who want to learn as they travel.
Lindblad Expeditions pioneered expedition travel for the public, and it partners with National Geographic on its voyages.
Its small ships carry naturalists, photographers and experts, and every day is built around getting out into the landscape. The fleet sails from Alaska to the Galápagos and Antarctica, with ships sized for small groups.
For a group that wants a meaningful, educational reward, Lindblad is one of the best names in the business. If you are still weighing lines against each other, the at-sea overview lays out how we compare them.

We will match the ship and region to your group and dates.
Buy the Sea has been placing corporate groups at sea for twenty-six years, across every major line. We know how Lindblad works, and we know what to ask for and when to ask for it so that your program gets the ships, the spaces and the dates it needs. That is the part we handle.
Bring us a headcount, a budget and a range of dates. We will come back with real options with Lindblad — and across every other line, because we represent all of them and we are paid by the cruise line, never by you. There is no fee, no markup and no obligation. Here is why that matters.
Within reason, and often more of it than planners expect — signage, screens, key cards, venue naming and private events are all on the table. What is possible comes together at negotiation, and we will walk you through it.
Yes, subject to dates. The smaller ships are especially well suited to full charters for corporate groups.
Nothing. We are compensated by the cruise line, never by you. Twenty-six years of doing it this way is covered in why Buy the Sea.
