Frequently Asked Questions About Sailing Lindblad Expeditions

Answers from Vincent Cruises certified cruise counsellors and shakedown inspectors.

Q1: What is the benefit of the patented X-BOW® on Endurance and Resolution?
The patented inverted X-BOW® design slices cleanly through waves rather than slamming into them, dramatically reducing pitching and sea-spray in the Drake Passage, while providing unobstructed, straight-down wildlife viewing from the bow.
Q2: Is snorkeling gear provided in the Galápagos?
Yes, Lindblad provides every guest in the Galápagos with a custom-fitted mask, snorkel, fins, and a 3mm shorty wetsuit for the entire duration of the cruise at zero extra cost.
Q3: Can children participate in Lindblad Expeditions?
Yes, Lindblad offers the exclusive National Geographic Global Explorers Program in Alaska and Galápagos, where kids and teens earn field certifications in navigation, snorkeling, and wildlife journalism.
