Lindblad Expeditions to Double European River Capacity by 2027 with Exciting New Ship Launch
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has announced the upcoming launch of its new riverboat, the Evolve, which will join its European fleet in late 2027. The ship is set to debut in time for the holiday season and will operate alongside its sister ship, the Connect, offering exciting Christmas Market itineraries.
This new addition effectively doubles Lindblad’s capacity in European river expeditions, which the company sees as crucial to meet the increasing demand for authentic travel experiences. CEO Natalya Leahy emphasized that the Evolve will maintain the company’s commitment to taking guests to incredible destinations while enhancing the guest experience through shared traditions and discovery.
The holiday season itineraries will feature festive sailings along the Danube River, allowing passengers to explore famous Christmas markets in cities like Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna. Special voyages will be available for guests looking to celebrate both Christmas and New Year’s in iconic locations such as Salzburg and Český Krumlov.
As Lindblad Expeditions approaches its 60th anniversary, the launch of the Evolve symbolizes the company’s spirit of adventure and innovation, promising to deliver unforgettable holiday experiences on Europe’s renowned waterways. This development is part of a broader strategy by Lindblad, as they continue to expand their partnership with Transcend Cruises.
