Lindblad Expeditions

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
"There's nothing extravagant" about these vessels, which take guests to discover such regions as the Galápagos Islands, Patagonia, and the Dalmatian Coast. The journeys, however, "stimulate the mind and get you revved up for adventure." Shore excursions—"viewing whales and their babies and being able to reach out and touch them" in Magdalena Bay or swimming with sea lions in Los Islotes (both in Baja California)—are the "most exhilarating experiences." Cabins are "modest, although that's being nice." "Naturalists are terrific—knowledgeable, funny, and totally accessible." Lindblad donates funds to conservation groups, so "you feel like your money's well spent in every way." New programs in Greece will debut in 2008.
