Galápagos cruise up for grabs in National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions incentive
Sponsored by National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is giving UK travel agents the chance to win an adventure to the Galápagos amid the launch of its new fly-cruise programme to the Ecuadorian archipelago
Picture this: you’ve returned to the beach after an hour of paddleboarding along volcanic coastlines and a creep of tortoises emerges from the tree line. The sun glistens off their shells as they meander care-free towards the shore while you watch in awe at one of nature’s most magnificent occurrences. This image could become a reality thanks to National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions’ new trade incentive.
UK Agents who book one of the line’s new 10-day Exploring Galápagos UK fly-cruise itineraries between 1 September-31 December will stand a chance to win an expedition to the Galápagos* – it’s that simple!
What’s more, the prize includes a one-night pre-cruise and post-night stay in Quito, allowing you even more time to discover the Ecuadorian capital’s well‑preserved historic centre. The incentive comes amid the launch of the expedition specialist’s new year-round fly-cruise programme from the UK to the Galápagos onboard National Geographic Endeavour II.
Purpose built to accommodate expedition-style travel, National Geographic Endeavour II is elegant, nimble and equipped with state-of-the-art tools like underwater cameras, a glass-bottom boat and kayaks for up-close explorations.
The vessel carries just 96 guests across five decks and 52 cabins, offering an open-air observation deck, an underwater gear area and dual Zodiac boarding platform. Guests will also be able to meet the captain, thanks to the ship’s open bridge policy, and enjoy indoor and outdoor dining – weather permitting.
Destination immersion Sailing roundtrip from Quito in Ecuador, the 10-day Exploring Galápagos itinerary calls in destinations such as North Seymour, Isabela, Fernandina, Espanola, Floreana, Santa Cruz, Bartolome, Santiago, Genovesa and San Cristobal.
In North Seymour, travellers follow coastal trails past sea lions before heading inland through a lush forest of palo santo trees, where frigatebirds nest, blue-footed boobies dance and iguanas feed on cacti.
National Geographic Endeavour II will then cross the equator at Volcán Ecuador, the northernmost of the island’s six volcanoes. Here guests can spot whales, dolphins, sea turtles and ocean sunfish on guided shoreside excursions.
As the youngest and most pristine island in the Galápagos, Fernandina is home to one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Hikes ashore lead across stagnant lava flows and offer the chance to spot flightless cormorants and large marine iguanas.
Then, guests can spot swallow-tailed gulls, mockingbirds, Nazca boobies and, seasonally, the world’s only population of waved albatross at the bird paradise of Española.
From there, they head to Floreana to trail past its iconic, pink‑tinted lagoon frequented by flocks of flamingos. In Santa Cruz, guests will find Puerto Ayora, the largest town and headquarters of both the Galápagos National Park and Charles Darwin Research Station.
There’s also the Lonesome George monument and the chance to tour tortoise-breeding corrals. If you have customers on the lookout for an expedition to one of the world’s most remote and rewarding expedition destinations, recommend Lindblad Expeditions new, year-round fly-cruise programme to the Galápagos. You’ll not only secure repeat business and rave reviews – but a spot for yourself on an adventure of a lifetime.
