Lindblad has unveiled five new voyages to replace the itineraries that were impacted when Russia invaded Ukraine. The sailings range from cruises into the upper reaches of the Arctic to those that extend deep into Alaska or take in the beauty of coastal Japan.
“To the hundreds of guests whose trips have been impacted, we are grateful for your understanding as we have worked to develop alternative itineraries that offer compelling opportunities for the authentic and immersive exploration you expect from us,” said Dolf Berle, president and CEO of Lindblad Expeditions in a letter sent to guests on cancelled sailings.
