TM THROUGH THE BEATING HEART OF SCOTLAND WITH COMPLIMENTARY BAR TAB & CREW TIPS ABOARD LORD OF THE GLENS 2019 & 2020

Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experiences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe. TM

DEAR TRAVELER, The first time I boarded the 48-guest Lord of the Glens the stately ship we ve been sailing through Scotland since 2003 I was stunned. Frankly, I d never been aboard a more welcoming and intimate ship that felt somehow to be a cross between a yacht and a private home. She s extremely comfortable, with teak decks, polished wood interiors, fine contemporary regional cuisine, and exceptional personal service. And she is unique able to traverse the Caledonian Canal, which connects the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean via a passageway of lochs and canals, and also sail to the great islands of the Inner Hebrides. This allows us to offer something few others can an in-depth, nine-day journey through the heart of Scotland, one that encompasses the soul of its highlands and islands. You ll take in Loch Ness and other Scottish lakes, the storied battlefield of Culloden where Bonnie Prince Charlie s uprising came to a disastrous end, and beautiful Glenfinnan. You ll pass through the intricate series of locks known as Neptune s Staircase, explore the historic Isle of Iona, and the isles of Mull, Eigg, and Skye, and see the 4,000-year-old burial chambers and standing stones of Clava Cairns. There s even time for a visit to the most remote pub in the British Isles. Scotland is a land of grand castles, beautiful moorlands, sacred abbeys, and sweeping mountains and you ll have the opportunity to experience it all as few get to. Hike through the rolling countryside, or use bikes to cover more ground. For a unique perspective walk alongside the tree-lined canal as Lord of the Glens transits the locks. Plus, enjoy the picturesque waters of Loch Linnhe or Loch Eil on a kayaking journey that runs parallel to the West Highland Train Line and in the shadow of Britain s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. As always, you ll explore in the company of our excellent staff. A historian and a naturalist will share their knowledge (and enthusiasm) with you, and provide interpretation to help you develop a full understanding of what you see. As you leaf through the following pages, envision yourself exploring with us in the wake of saints, mystics, and Vikings. And as the Scots would say, Turas math dhut (Good travels to you!). All the best, Sven-Olof Lindblad SPECIAL OFFER: Enjoy Lord of the Glens hospitality with our compliments. Your bar tab and crew tips are on us on every departure. Plus, we now offer unlimited free Wi-Fi on board. P.S. If you join us, you ll surely want to consider extending the pleasures with a stay in the lively city of Edinburgh to experience its famed castle, walk its winding medieval streets, and discover its contemporary charms. See page 16 to learn more. Cover: Eilean Donan Castle at sunset, western Highlands. This page: Beautiful Glenfinnan lies on the shore of Loch Shiel. The monument commemorates the Jacobite Rising of 1845-46. Ship s registry: Great Britain.

THROUGH SCOTLAND S Grand castles, lyrical moorlands, sacred abbeys, and sweeping mountains from the long traditions of Scotland s clans and monarchs to Bonnie Prince Charlie s famed rebellion, the romance and intrigue of Scotland s countryside and traditions speak to all of us. We ve been offering expeditions in Scotland for decades, endlessly discovering new facets with our guests. And for some Lupines near Laggan Locks. years now, we ve offered in-depth journeys aboard the 48-guest Lord of the Glens, the only ship that makes this voyage possible in such distinct style. Purpose-built for these waters, Lord of the Glens is both gracious and uniquely able. Designed to fit through the narrow canals and stepped locks in the heart of Scotland, and seaworthy for navigating the waters of the Scottish Isles, Lord of the Glens enables you to enjoy a peerless combination: the famous lochs; the magnificent scenery of the Scottish countryside with its quaint villages, castles, pubs, and medieval battlegrounds; and the Inner Hebrides, steeped in nature and Oban whisky. history. The itinerary is riveting, but as you ll see, it is rivaled by the quality of life aboard. 2 1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS Watching Lord of the Glens transit the Caledonian Canal s locks is a unique experience for guests and locals alike. ORKNEY Our pathway through the heart of Scotland, the Caledonian Canal. The Caledonian Canal is an engineering marvel. Conceived in the latter part of the 18 th century to connect the North Sea with the Atlantic and revitalize the economy of the Scottish Highlands, it was finally completed in 1822 after 19 years of construction. As an artery of commerce it was almost immediately outmoded, as many new ships were too large to use the canal, but its status as a point of pride and attraction for Scotland was cemented when Queen Victoria sailed its waterways in 1873. It remains beloved by Scots and visitors today. Kyle of Lochalsh Inverness Isle of Skye Inverie SCOTLAND Cuillin Hills Fort Augustus Eigg Caledonian Canal Tobermory Banavie Oban Iona Isle of Mull Edinburgh On our voyage aboard Lord of the Glens the only ship of its kind able to undertake such a voyage we ll pass through 22 locks (including the flight of 8 locks known as Neptune s Staircase), sail along 5 lochs and several rivers and waterways, and pass through 7 swing bridges. We ll then proceed to the Inner Hebrides and the historic isles of Mull, Iona, Eigg, and Skye a voyage that is tremendous in scope and a source of learning and enjoyment. WWW.EXPEDITIONS.COM 3

A PEERLESS AMBIENCE & EXTRAORDINARY COMFORT Imagine a stately country manor house with a Harry Potter-esque magical ability to float off its moorings, and you have a sense of what life aboard Lord of the Glens is like. The ambience is that of a private home, with warm, rich woods and upholstered furnishings so comfortable even the most virulent anti-smoker might yearn for a pipe. Yet the teak, mahogany and brass touches, and the expansive terraces (sun decks) on the top deck, proclaim that she is proudly nautical in a grand maritime tradition. The dining room accommodates the entire expedition community at once, with no assigned seating, for convivial mingling throughout the voyage. Despite the pleasing formality of the fine china, silver cutlery, and French crystal, casual clothing and an informal atmosphere prevail. Dining is highly gratifying; the chef provisions all along the way, and uses the finest and freshest local fruit, produce and other ingredients, sourced from sustainable providers wherever possible. HOSPITALITY NOTE: Whether it s cocktails in the lounge at evening recap, a nightcap, or drinks with new friends at the lounge bar, your Lord of The Glens bar tab is on us. We ll also handle the crew gratuities, so you can simply relax and enjoy their gracious service. Plus, stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi now offered on board. 4 1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

STEEP IN SCOTLAND S HISTORY, LIVE LIKE A LOCAL The founder of the Iona Community on the isle of Iona, George MacLeod, famously described its iconic abbey as a thin place, where the boundaries between the material and the spiritual are felt in close proximity and few are unaffected by its atmosphere. The same could be said of our expedition it sails through a thin place where the boundaries between traveler and local are swept away. Get a real sense of life in Scotland when you hop off the ship to stroll along the local lanes, greeting locals out walking their dogs or pausing to see the ship transit a series of locks. Take a bike ride at length, experiencing rolling moorlands. Discover the fabric of daily life in the colorful villages and seldom-visited outlying islands where tall tales are traded among pub-goers. This expedition creates the chance to explore with all your senses, and gain a real sense of being in Scotland; one that goes well beyond simply seeing the sights. Clockwise from above: Choose to walk or bike along the Caledonian Canal; Iona Abbey cloisters; a young bagpiper turns out to greet our ship; kayaking gives guests a water-level view of Scotland s verdant, rolling landscape. 6 1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348)

Explore Culloden battlefield, where the French-supported Jacobite forces were brutally defeated by the British in 1746, crushing Bonnie Prince Charlie s bid for the throne.

Final Payment: Final payment is due 90 days prior to departure. Travel Protection Plan: We recommend that you take advantage of our Travel Protection Plan.

Our Travel Protection Plan is available for U.S. and Canadian residents only, and may be purchased any time prior to final payment due date. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you may return your plan within 10 days after purchase. Your premium will be refunded if canceled within 10 days, provided you have not already departed on the trip or filed a claim.

Responsibility and Other Terms & Conditions: Among other things, limitations of Lindblad Expeditions and the National Geographic Society s liability for loss of property, injury, illness or death during the voyage will be provided to all guests on the ship s ticket sent prior to departure, and are also available on our website at www.expeditions. com/terms, or upon request. By registering for a trip, the guest agrees to all such terms and conditions. Note: Itineraries and prices listed in this brochure are valid as of publication date, and are subject to change. Under normal conditions, the total expedition cost is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, the published price is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event we determine that current costs create an unsustainable financial model, including but not limited to increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to pass on these costs to you, to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide a transparent accounting of the reason for such an increase in costs. Photo credits: Stewart Aitchison, Stewart Cohen, Alexandra C.
