Best places to see glaciers, fascinating dolphin species and island hopping in the Baltic Sea

Immerse yourself in Alaska's magnificent scenery, see bald eagles soaring overhead, and enjoy the exhilarating silence. Watch as we enter the heart of this rugged frontier, full of thrill and wonder. Majestic masses of ice in piercing hues of blue, glaciers have shaped some of Earth's most breathtaking landscapes. Many of our expeditions take you up close to these dizzying giants, from Greenland's fastest moving Jakobshavn Glacier to Alaska's six-mile-wide Hubbard Glacier. A call from the Bridge that dolphins are approaching the ship is always cause for excitement. Get familiar with some of the more surprising species you might see, like New Zealand's endemic Hector's dolphin—the smallest and rarest in the world—or the astoundingly acrobatic spinner dolphin which inhabits tropical waters. Sophisticated, design-forward cities like Stockholm and Copenhagen have long taken the spotlight in Scandinavia, but there are numerous islands in the archipelagos of Sweden, Denmark, and Finland not well known to travelers that offer enchanting views, centuries-old history, and rich culture. From coast to coast, North America is filled with thrilling destinations that feel worlds away. Celebrate the serene autumnal beauty of New York's Hudson River Valley, kayak through wild mangroves in the Out Islands of the Bahamas or stroll the picturesque towns of British Columbia. Abundant opportunities for one-of-a-kind exploration are waiting close to home. © 2022 Lindblad Expeditions. All Rights Reserved.
