The move is part of a carefully planned and anticipated succession of leadership as the company enters its 10th year of private ownership by the Ueberroth Family.

 

Peter Hillary, son of Sir Edmund Hillary, will join Lindblad Expeditions’ National Geographic Kimberley with Spice Islands voyage as a global perspectives speaker departing 10 August 2014.

 

Travel agents can now use the Rail Plus website to conveniently book voyages on more than 1200 ferry routes in Europe and across the globe.

The rail operator has joined forces with UK-based AFerry.com, the world's largest online ferry ticket distribution network, to provide the new service.

 

Urban Adventures has launched new Fun Independent Travel (FIT) passes in South East Asia, which combine flexible ground transport pass with day tours led by locals in major destinations en route.
