Lindblad Expeditions has announced an expanded 2027-28 season for its collection of river cruise itineraries.

The 2027-28 season marks the most expansive lineup of river itineraries to date, spanning Egypt, India, Vietnam and Europe.

“Our river journeys invite guests to see the world in a more intentional way, unhurried, intimate and deeply connected to place,” said Natalya Leahy, CEO of Lindblad Expeditions.

“We’re thrilled that our new European and Indian river expeditions have been so well received, and we’re delighted to offer even more ways to explore, including festive European Christmas market sailings. Because how you see the world matters, and that’s what makes our river collection so special,” added Leahy.

“Across our fleet, from rivers to open seas, we’re continuing to reimagine how people experience the world. For us, exploration isn’t just about where we travel but how deeply we connect with places, with cultures and with one another.”

The company said that in Europe, the Connect will continue to sail down Amsterdam’s canals and through the French countryside with her spring and summer itineraries.

In response to strong demand, the Evolve will join the fleet and introduce three new Christmas and one holiday voyages exploring Europe’s Christmas markets.

Joining the fleet in 2027, the Evolve will expand capacity and extend the co-brand’s European river program into winter for the first time.

The company said in a press release that guest favorites will return as well: the Charaidew II on India’s Brahmaputra River, The Jahan on the Mekong River in Vietnam and the Oberoi Philae with voyages on the Nile with a stop at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum.

According to the press release, the season reflects a continued investment in National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions’ approach to river cruising: deeply curated itineraries, exclusive cultural access and expert guidance both on board and ashore.

Each voyage will continue to be led by veteran expedition leaders and field staff who bring regional knowledge.
