The 10-day Showcase at Sea will take place in the Galápagos Islands from 28th November to 8th December 2025, and will be hosted by Danielle Bates, Head of UK Sales representing National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions co-brand.
Nine agencies, including Panache Cruises, Mundy Cruising, Latin Routes, Iglu and Fred. Olsen Travel, will join Bates on a 10-day Exploring Galapagos expedition cruise onboard National Geographic Endeavour II.
Throughout the expedition, they will have the chance to learn about Lindblad Expeditions’ pioneering heritage with nearly 60 years of experience in this destination, its connection to the islands and its USPs.
They will also enjoy adventures by kayak, paddleboard, glass-bottom boat and zodiac; walk among wildlife such as sea lions and marine iguanas; snorkel with sea lions, turtles and abundant fish in the waters of the Galápagos Marine Reserve; and observe giant Galápagos tortoises in the wild on an adventure in the highlands of Santa Cruz.
While the group will be staying onboard National Geographic Endeavour II, they will also have the chance to visit the brand’s entire Galápagos fleet, which doubled in size this year with the addition of National Geographic Delfina and National Geographic Gemini.
In all, the group will get to see four different styles of ships with capacities of 16, 48 and 96 guests, allowing National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions to showcase the brand as the ‘go-to for Galápagos’ operator that offers unparalleled choice year-round.
Bates commented: “My first experience of a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cruise was in the Galápagos Islands earlier this year, and I can only describe it as one of the most meaningful and transformative travel experiences of my life.
“I truly believe we have a wonderful offering in this part of the world, and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with some key individuals from the UK travel industry as part of my personal mission to establish us as the ‘go-to for Galápagos’ expedition provider.”
The 10-night fam trip includes round-trip air, two nights in Quito and the seven-night expedition on board National Geographic Endeavour II.
