If Antarctica, the Arctic or another extraordinary corner of the world has been sitting on your travel wish list, this may be the nudge you’ve been waiting for.
For a limited time, travelers booking select 2027 National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyages can receive up to $2,000 in air credits per person.
The offer is available on select expeditions to destinations including Antarctica, the Arctic, Europe, Japan and the South Pacific and must be booked by November 4, 2026.
For two travelers, that’s the potential for up to $4,000 in air credits toward getting to your expedition.
What Is the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Air Credit Offer?
Book an eligible 2027 voyage between September 15 and November 4, 2026, and you can receive an air credit of up to $2,000 per person.
The credit is applied toward qualifying airfare ticketed through the Lindblad Expeditions Air Department.
If your qualifying airfare costs more than $2,000 per person, you’ll simply be responsible for the difference. If it costs less, any unused portion of the credit cannot be redeemed for cash or another credit.
This offer is available for new bookings on select 2027 departures and is subject to availability.
Where Can You Explore in 2027?
These aren’t your typical cruise vacations.
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions specializes in immersive small-ship expedition travel to some of the world’s most fascinating destinations.
Depending on the qualifying voyage you choose, your 2027 adventure could take you to:
Antarctica
Journey to a landscape of towering ice, dramatic scenery and remarkable wildlife, with opportunities to step ashore among bustling penguin colonies.
For travelers who have dreamed about reaching the seventh continent, Antarctica is much more than another vacation destination. It’s one of those rare places that can make you stop and simply marvel at where you are.
The Arctic
Head north to places such as Svalbard, where the expedition experience may include searching for polar bears and other Arctic wildlife among vast landscapes of sea ice, mountains and glaciers.
Japan
Explore Japan from a different perspective, combining fascinating history and culture with the advantages of traveling aboard a small expedition ship.
The South Pacific
Venture into the islands of the South Pacific, where culture and exploration become part of the journey. Experiences may include stargazing alongside one of Polynesia’s last master navigators.
Europe
Even familiar destinations can look completely different when experienced through the lens of an expedition.
Select European voyages are also included in the 2027 air credit offer, opening another possibility for travelers interested in a more immersive style of exploration.
What Makes National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions Different?
If you’ve only experienced traditional cruising, an expedition voyage is something quite different.
These journeys are built around exploration and the destination itself.
You’ll travel aboard a nimble small ship with experienced captains and seasoned expedition teams who can adapt to the opportunities each day brings.
Rather than simply arriving in a port and choosing how to spend a few hours, the expedition team is an integral part of the experience—helping travelers understand the wildlife, landscapes, history and cultures they’re encountering along the way.
For someone who wants to experience a destination rather than simply see it, that distinction matters.
Why the Air Credit Can Be Particularly Valuable
Getting to places like Antarctica, the Arctic, Japan and the South Pacific can represent a significant part of the overall travel investment.
That’s what makes this particular offer worth considering.
Instead of simply discounting a portion of the expedition fare, qualifying travelers can receive up to $2,000 per person toward airfare.
For a couple traveling together, the potential air credit reaches up to $4,000.
For an expedition you’ve already been dreaming about, that could make a meaningful difference in the total vacation budget.
There Are Some Important Airfare Rules
There are a few details you’ll want to understand before booking.
To receive the offer, qualifying airfare must be ticketed through the Lindblad Expeditions Air Department. The credit does not apply to airfare booked independently.
The offer also does not apply to itinerary internal air or extensions.
Airline baggage fees may be additional, seat assignments aren’t guaranteed, and flights remain subject to the applicable airline’s cancellation policies.
The promotion is available to residents of the United States and Canada and cannot be combined with other offers.
Is an Expedition Cruise Right for You?
Expedition cruising isn’t necessarily about finding the biggest ship, the most restaurants or the longest list of onboard attractions.
It’s about where the ship can take you and what you can experience once you get there.
If your idea of an incredible vacation includes watching wildlife in its natural habitat, learning from knowledgeable expedition teams, exploring remote landscapes and coming home knowing far more about a destination than when you arrived, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions deserves a place on your travel list.
And you don’t have to figure out which expedition is right for you on your own.
