National Geographic-Lindblad ships named in Galapagos
The two newest National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions ships in the Galápagos fleet were officially named in a ceremony.
National Geographic Delfina and National Geographic Gemini enjoyed a dual naming ceremony in the heart of the Galápagos archipelago – Academy Bay.
It was attended by members of the shipboard teams and their children, Lindblad Expeditions leadership, guests, local dignitaries and multigenerational Galápagos community members.
“This is a celebration of our deep connection to this extraordinary place and its people,” said Natalya Leahy, CEO, Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc.
“It symbolizes our shared future and reflects our ongoing commitment to the people of Galápagos. We’re humbled to explore this remarkable part of the world.”
In 1967, Lindblad Expeditions led the first-ever non-scientific international civilian expedition to the Galápagos and has been partnering closely with the community and the National Park ever since.
The company has supported more than 100 environmental- and community-focused projects in the region.
National Geographic Delfina and National Geographic Gemini joined Lindblad Expeditions’ Galápagos fleet earlier this year.
National Geographic Delfina is a sleek, contemporary 98-feet luxury catamaran designed for small-group exploration and perfect for families and affinity groups.
Accommodating just 16 guests in eight staterooms – half with private balconies – the ship offers an intimate, comfortable onboard experience.
National Geographic Gemini is a mission-built, 48-guest expedition ship designed for discovery. Featuring 28 ocean-facing cabins – including suites with private balconies – the ship offers spacious accommodations tailored for comfort.
Guests can unwind in the windowed fitness center and spa, enjoy panoramic views from the whirlpool hot tub and dine al fresco at the outdoor café.
