Travel in Good Company

The founders of expedition cruising

In 1966, when Lars-Eric Lindblad spearheaded expeditions to Antarctica and ventured to the Galápagos in 1967, he etched his name in history as the pioneer who introduced private citizens to these extraordinary wildernesses. Widely recognized as the progenitor of ecotourism, he envisioned travel as a remarkable avenue to unveil the wonders of the world to individuals, prompting them to reconsider their perspectives on the planet and recognize our collective responsibility in its preservation.
