National Geographic Quest: see deck plan and photos

An important feature of any Lindblad Expeditions adventure cruise is the small ship size. Smaller ships are able to access more remote areas off limits to large cruise ships, and guests aboard enjoy more intimate nature encounters as well as more personalized interactions with the ship's naturalist staff. Guests are divided into smaller groups for expedition landing craft excursions, kayak outings and hikes ashore.

Physical Requirements

Easy to Moderate
Our Panama and Costa Rica adventure cruise does not require a high degree of physical fitness overall. A range of options will be offered to you, and we stress that all activities are optional. Shorter walks will always be available. Faster paced walks for those who want more of a workout will also be offered. Depending on conditions, trails may be potentially wet and muddy, and uneven terrain may be encountered. Kayaking will be an option available to guests. Travelers should be aware that the heat and humidity in the tropics may be very high and roads may be bumpy. Please be prepared for water landings.

Important Information About This Trip


Mandatory Insurance

Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have, at minimum, medical evacuation insurance for this program. This is for the safety of all guests. We require that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage.

To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.

We can best serve you by having Lindblad Expeditions’ air department book your flights, since Lindblad is most familiar with the special requirements of each trip.
