NEW YORK --
Lindblad Expeditions' flagship the Endeavour will relaunch as the
National Geographic Endeavour beginning April 2005 as part of a
strategic alliance with The National Geographic Society.
The alliance is
designed to maximize the collaborative possibilities between two
organizations with parallel objectives in "science, exploration,
education, conservation and disseminating geography," according to
Sven Lindblad, president of Lindblad Expeditions.
The partnership
includes the creation of an advisory board made up of National
Geographic researchers, scientists and explorers and the top
program developers from Lindblad. The board will work on developing
collective initiatives for educational programs and technological
innovations for both National Geographic and Lindblad
Expeditions.
