National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions just rolled out a couple of limited-time deals designed to make its bucket-list vacations a little more doable. Celebrate 60 years of Exploration offer. The first offer includes a $1,000 air credit on select 2026 sailings, as long as travelers book by April 15, 2026, and arrange flights through the company. The eligible itineraries span a pretty wide range, taking passengers to places like Alaska, Japan, Europe, Greece, Greenland, Norway and the Arctic. Itineraries that are eligible for the Air Credit offer include: A Celebration of Family Exploration offer. The second deal is all about families. Called "A Celebration of Family Exploration," it offers up to 50 percent off fares for kids 18 and under on select summer 2026 departures, with a booking deadline of April 30, 2026. Onboard, younger travelers can take part in the National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program, which includes hands-on activities like looking at plankton under a microscope, building ice cream sundae "glaciers" or doing other fun, themed projects tied to their destination. Featured itineraries that qualify for the offer include:
Sven-Olof Lindblad, founder and 10% owner of Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, sold 28,002 directly-held shares in an open-market transaction valued at approximately $493,000, according to an SEC Form 4 filing. The sale represents 0.26% of his direct holdings, significantly below his recent median sell size of 130,641 shares and median transaction proportion of 1.14%. Following the sale, Lindblad retains over 10.7 million directly held shares valued at approximately $193.9 million. Lindblad Expeditions offers expedition cruises and adventure travel experiences under multiple brands. The company reported $771 million in revenue over the trailing twelve months but posted a net loss of $34.65 million during the same period.
Lindblad Expeditions Holdings has increased its stake in Natural Habitat by 5%, according to documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction was completed on 3 March 2026. The acquisition strengthens Lindblad Expeditions' strategic investment position in Natural Habitat. The move reflects the company's confidence in the ecotourism and adventure travel market and its commitment to expanding its presence in the sustainable tourism sector.
Lindblad Expeditions reported record 2025 results with revenue of $771 million (up 20%) and adjusted EBITDA of $126.2 million (up 38%), achieving a 16.4% margin. Net leverage improved to approximately 3.1x from 4.6x the previous year. The expedition cruise operator announced strong forward momentum, with booked revenue for 2026 already exceeding full-year 2025 totals. Management guided 2026 tour revenue between $800–850 million and adjusted EBITDA of $130–140 million, forecasting available guest nights up 4.5–5% and yields rising 4–5%. Growth drivers include expanded distribution channels, with Disney agent bookings up 35% and online bookings up 52%, plus fleet expansion through acquisitions including two Galápagos ships and a three-year charter of the Greg Mortimer.
Lindblad Expeditions reported fourth-quarter revenue of $183.2 million, beating analyst estimates of $167.7 million and marking 23.3% year-on-year growth. The cruise and exploration company's adjusted EBITDA of $14.15 million exceeded expectations by 42.5%. However, the company posted a GAAP loss of $0.45 per share, missing analyst estimates by 38%. Full-year revenue guidance of approximately $825 million aligns with analyst expectations, whilst EBITDA guidance of $135 million for 2026 falls slightly below estimates of $136.8 million. Founded in 1979, Lindblad offers expedition cruises to remote destinations in partnership with National Geographic. Despite strong historical growth, analysts expect revenue growth to decelerate to 6.8% over the next 12 months, suggesting potential demand headwinds ahead.
