LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS HOLDINGS Business Summary

Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (LIND) operates as a premier provider of expedition cruises and adventure travel, generating revenue primarily through tour fees across two core business segments: the Lindblad segment and the Land Experiences segment. The Lindblad segment utilizes a fleet of owned and chartered expedition ships to deliver nature-centric voyages to remote destinations like Antarctica and the Galápagos, bolstered by a long-standing strategic partnership with National Geographic. The Land Experiences segment diversifies the portfolio through high-end land-based adventure brands, including Natural Habitat, DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co., and Off the Beaten Path. As of March 2026, the company maintains a dominant position in the ultra-premium expedition niche, leveraging unique permit access and educational branding to command industry-leading net yields. Its primary direct competitors include Quark Expeditions, Seabourn, Viking, and Silversea, with Lindblad distinguishing itself through its legacy of environmental stewardship and intimate, small-ship focus. The company was founded by Sven-Olof Lindblad, who currently serves as Co-Chairman of the Board and is the son of adventure travel pioneer Lars-Eric Lindblad. The executive leadership team is led by CEO Natalya Leahy, who took the helm in January 2025 following her tenure as President of Seabourn and senior roles at Holland America Group and Procter & Gamble. Supporting her are CFO Rick Goldberg, formerly of Founders Table Restaurant Group and Jackson Hewitt, and CMO Mike Fulkerson, a 2026 appointee with an extensive marketing background at Seabourn and Marriott International. The board is co-chaired by Mark D. Ein, a prominent investor and entrepreneur, and includes Vice Chair L. Dyson Dryden.
