One of the great advantages of traveling on the National Geographic-Lindblad fl eet is the opportunity to explore with the people
whose work you’ve seen and read about in the pages of National Geographic’s magazines. A National Geographic explorer,
writer, or researcher joins our expedition team on many of our small-ship voyages, inspiring us with fascinating presentations
and lively discussions, and exploring alongside us. To further enrich the expedition experience, a top National Geographic
photographer is on board every departure of the National Geographic Explorer and the National Geographic Orion to help
you capture unforgettable images of the places we explore. All of our small-ship voyages are also accompanied by a Lindblad
Expeditions-National Geographic certifi ed photo instructor. Below, meet a few of the renowned photographers and explorers
who will be traveling with us in 2014 and 2015.TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH
