LINDBLAD Expeditions-National Geographic has announced its new Wild Escapes collection, a suite of 11 brief voyages of seven days or shorter.
The move is an attempt to introduce new types of travellers to expedition cruising, including families which is a demographic that typically struggles for time to cruise for more than 10 days at a time.
“The demand was evident when we introduced the shorter voyage concept in Galapagos and Alaska, with most departures selling out,” said Lindblad Chief Commercial Officer Phil Auerbach.
In 2020, Lindblad will have over 100 Wild Escapes available in regions such as Iceland and Costa Rica.
