Celebrating International Day for Women in Maritime





At the heart of Lindblad Expeditions is our abiding belief in the power of exploration to connect people more deeply to the natural world. On International Day for Women in Maritime, we are proud to recognize the extraordinary women throughout our company who bring that mission to life.
Across our shipboard teams, women are shaping the future of expedition travel as captains, engineers, hotel managers, naturalists, chefs and more. Today, women make up 46% of our global field staff, including 34 expedition and assistant expedition leaders—nearly triple the number from five years ago. Women also account for 28% of crew members across the fleet, with representation continuing to grow.
A career at sea reflects a deep passion for discovery—and requires significant dedication and sacrifice from all who choose it. The commitment of these remarkable women helps create the exceptional experiences our guests value, while inspiring future generations to imagine themselves in these roles as well.
I continue to be inspired by the leadership these women bring to every expedition. Their perspectives and expertise make us stronger collaborators, innovators and stewards of the extraordinary places we are privileged to explore. Today, I’m proud to celebrate their impact, while reaffirming our commitment to expanding opportunity across the maritime industry.
With gratitude,
Natalya Leahy
Chief Executive Officer
