If you partner with the National Geographic Society, like this line does, you’d better deliver adventure, right? Lindblad does, though don’t expect anything too extreme. These nature- and culture-focused cruises are the floating equivalent to “glamping” — they’re comfortable and not too challenging while still making your feel like you’ve explored the Great Outdoors.
Every ship in the fleet includes complimentary tours, but as of April 2017 two ships — National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic Orion — will become all-inclusive, with passengers' bar tab and crew gratuities now included on all departures, too.
