For the traveler who appreciates the “quiet season,” this is South Africa at its most refined. It is a time defined by roaring fireplaces, world-class red wines, and the raw, magnificent beauty of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

In the world of ultra-luxury travel, the most remote destinations often require the longest lead times for booking. While 2027 may feel like a world away, the planning window for the Arctic and Antarctica is already beginning. These are not journeys that can be organized on a whim; they are complex logistical feats that require a delicate balance of timing, vessel choice, and environmental conditions.

We’ve always believed that travel reaches its highest form when it serves as a bridge between curiosity and conversation, and it can be rare to find a partner that so perfectly mirrors this commitment to depth and authenticity as National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions.
