What’s included in an Arctic and Antarctica Cruise
I will be the first to admit if you ever checked out Lindblad’s or partner National Geographic expeditions websites it is very confusing on what is included and not included. For these excursions, know that they are truly all-inclusive. All you need to do is fly to either Oslo or Reykjavík after that, everything is included. From your bar tab to daily activities and excursions to your Wi-Fi (Wi-fi is only complimentary to guests booked via Scott and Thomas Travel for 2023 Arctic expeditions)it’s all included. Never pay for alcohol or worry about onboard gratuities, they are included. On select itinerary charter flights may be additional.
Two glass dome igloos at the rear of the Observation Deck. These may be booked for an overnight stays.
National Geographic’s Polar vessels are small ships and 100% expedition focused. The National Geographic Resolution and National Geographic Endurance are designed for the smoothest ride through rough water and ice thanks to their X-bow design. Explore the Arctic ice floe from the best ships. Providing a true 5 star luxury expedition. Enjoy all the following amenities included in your fare:
- Transfers upon arrival/departure.
- Pre and post expedition hotels where necessary.
- Accommodation aboard the world-class expedition ships of the National Geographic.
- 3+ meals each day, including a gourmet dinner each night.
- Daily activities and excursions.
- All excursions including kayaking, SUP, Zodiacs and more.

Inclusive Pricing Brings Real Value
Lindblad National Geographic includes almost everything you have the opportunity to do as part while both aboard the National Geographic ships and ashore. The value of what they include, combined with the quality of Nat Geo service and the excellence of their highly trained expedition staff, adds up to considerable value. Especially since you are not paying for excursions and other add-on charges charged on the big ships.
What Nat Geo and Lindblad offer is not inexpensive. But guests find that when you look at the alternative travel companies costs add up quickly. National Geographic’s expeditions are really an extremely good value. Given the quality of ships, the remote destinations, and the experience, you’ll soon experience the value for yourself. The cost of your voyage includes basically everything you have the opportunity to do as part of your expedition. Both on board and on shore. The only things not included are those of a personal nature like spa treatments and charter flights where necessary.
Lindblad and Nat Geo are so good, they really do cover everything. When I was on the National Geographic Orion and the ship moved while we were out diving to refuel. As we waited for the ship we went to a local bar and Lindblad/Nat Geo picked up the tab while we drank and ate with locals! It was really a one of a kind experience.
Additional Antarctica Savings
In addition to all the savings I’ve already mentioned there are other options for you too. If you take advantage of my exclusive offer, you can save even more on other polar region expeditions. Plan your trip to Antarctica too. When you book select Antarctic cruises or Arctic cruises departing between January 2023–February 2024 you can receive 20% off your second departure.
