When Lars-Eric Lindblad brought the first international travelers to the Galápagos in 1967, he pioneered a style of responsible exploration that continues to shape every National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyage today. That enduring presence in the archipelago now includes four expedition ships, offering a Galápagos experience for every explorer—whether you prefer the intimacy of a 16-guest catamaran, a family-friendly adventure featuring the exclusive National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program or an extended voyage that reveals even more of the archipelago. Walk among giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies and charismatic sea lions—all remarkably unfazed by your presence—and discover the islands by Zodiac, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, snorkel and on foot. Guided by veteran Galapagueño naturalists, each day offers new perspectives on one of the world's most extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries, above and below the water.
“Lindblad Expeditions knows the Galápagos Islands well ... In fact, Lindblad literally created the first modern expedition cruise to these islands in the late 1960's.”
Discover the Ultimate Galápagos Fleet
In this webinar replay, join our trio of Galápagos experts as they highlight each small ship in the fleet, including the two newest additions that set sail this year, and how each one will enhance your adventure in this remarkable archipelago.

National Geographic Delfina is a luxury catamaran designed for cruising the Galápagos Islands in style and comfort.
Every member of the expedition team—from your naturalists and photographers to your expedition leaders—is committed to ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. All of your veteran guides in Galápagos are Galápagueños or from mainland Ecuador so in addition to sharing their extensive knowledge of island species and habitats, they also offer an authentic, first-person connection to the region’s culture and history. Exploring in small groups, you’ll hear different perspectives each day of your voyage, and because there are no assigned groups you can gravitate toward the naturalists who share your interests and inspire your curiosity.
Your knowledgeable and passionate expedition team is complemented by your dedicated hotel team who strives to ensure that your time on board is as comfortable and rewarding as your time on shore.
Take a virtual tour of the National Geographic Islander II, a gracious expedition vessel that feels like a private yacht. From the vessel's Zodiac landing platform, all the way to its upper deck pool, get to know this luxurious new vessel sailing year-round in the Galápagos Islands. Captured using an FPV drone.
