Top New Trips for 2011: Lindblad Expeditions -- Azores, Madeira & Channel Isles
Explore the wild wonders of secluded archipelagos with Lindblad Expeditions.
Lindblad Expeditions: An Island Odyssey — Azores, Madeira & Channel Isles
Why do we love islands and island life? Immerse yourself in the theme of island exploration and make plenty of discoveries of your own: secluded archipelagos and virgin wildness, world-class whale-watching, springtime gardens in bloom, birds and ancient lore. We explore both the natural and cultural aspects of these islands on our new expedition, An Island Odyssey: Azores, Madeira & Channel Isles. And we’ll do it at the absolutely best time of year, when exquisite gardens are at the height of springtime bloom. We’ve set aside three days for the Azores, a great place to whale watch, and we arrive in May at the height of activity. One of our Global Luminaries, Scientist Greg Marshall, has been to the Azores previously to conduct whale research using the Crittercam he developed, funded in part by National Geographic, and he will share his research.
Take advantage of time at sea with Lindblad’s new Skills@Sea Learning Adventure Program, offering workshops on maritime navigation, photography with a National Geographic Photographer, cooking, wellness and more. For the first time, we’ll be offering the services of a Miraval Specialist, joining us from the top-rated Miraval Resort, focused on healthy and sustainable living. And our other extraordinary guest, Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, is a renowned scientist who will speak on how we can improve our brains’ function as we age.
This singular island expedition aboard the renowned 148-guest National Geographic Explorer will take you through some of the most beautiful places in the world at the best time to be there.
An Island Odyssey: Azores, Madeira & Channel Isles; May 2-17; from $10,990.
