National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions on Tuesday announced an expanded 2027–2028 season for its growing collection of river cruise itineraries. The 2027–2028 season marks the most expansive lineup of river itineraries to date, spanning Egypt, India, Vietnam and Europe.
In Europe, Connect will continue to sail down Amsterdam’s canals and through the French countryside. In response to strong demand, sister ship Evolve will be joining the fleet and will introduce three new Christmas and one holiday voyage exploring Europe’s Christmas markets. Joining the fleet in 2027, Evolve will expand capacity and extend the co-brand’s European river program into winter for the first time.

Guest favorites in Asia will return, as well, including Charaidew II on India’s Brahmaputra River, The Jahan on the Mekong River in Vietnam, and Oberoi Philae on the Nile (with a stop at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum). Each voyage in Europe and Asia will continue to be led by veteran expedition leaders and field staff “who bring regional knowledge to life in meaningful ways.”
This upcoming season, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions said, “builds on a year of remarkable growth for the co-brand’s portfolio,” which included new voyages from the Azores to the Arctic.
