Lindblad Expeditions (LIND) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Lindblad Expeditions (NASDAQ: LIND) is a global leader in expedition cruising, specializing in immersive small-ship voyages to some of the world’s most remote and wildlife-rich regions. The company operates a fleet of purpose-built vessels designed to navigate challenging waters and shorelines, offering guests up-close encounters with natural environments such as the polar ice caps, the Galápagos Islands, Costa Rica’s rainforests and the waterways of Alaska, Patagonia and the Arctic.

Founded on the pioneering spirit of Lars-Eric Lindblad, regarded as the father of expedition travel, Lindblad Expeditions carries forward a legacy of discovery that dates back to the 1960s. The modern company was structured in 2004 when it entered into a multi-faceted partnership with National Geographic, bringing together seasoned naturalists, photographers and scientists to enhance the educational aspect of each voyage. Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. completed its initial public offering in 2015, listing its common shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker “LIND.”

The company’s core offerings include multi-day, guided expeditions that combine expert-led lectures, wildlife observation, shore excursions and adventure activities such as kayaking, snorkeling and camping. Through its National Geographic partnership, Lindblad Expeditions has introduced co-branded vessels—each staffed with Lindblad naturalists and National Geographic experts—to deliver an elevated level of scientific insight and storytelling. Sustainable tourism practices and a commitment to conservation underlie every voyage, with programs aimed at minimizing environmental impact and supporting local communities.

Headquartered in New York City, Lindblad Expeditions is led by members of the Lindblad family alongside an experienced executive team. The company’s corporate strategy centers on expanding its small-ship fleet, deepening collaborations with research and conservation organizations, and continuing to develop new itineraries that explore uncharted destinations. Through a combination of heritage, expertise and global reach, Lindblad Expeditions remains at the forefront of the expedition travel industry.
