Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (“Lindblad”) announced today that, as of Monday, March 16, it is suspending all voyages through April 30, 2020 due to the increased global spread of the COVID-19 virus. To date, Lindblad has not had any known cases of COVID-19 aboard any of its ships. CEO, Sven Lindblad, announced this suspension to his clients in a letter that stated, “we anticipate in the coming weeks that the global spread of the virus will negatively affect the ability to safely get to and from our ships no matter how safe we believe them to be” and that Lindblad feels a deep responsibility to its guests and crews. “Travel is, and should be, a joyous experience, including the anticipation before an actual expedition. Worrying about the specter of illness defeats that joy.” While Lindblad’s voyages will be temporarily suspended, Lindblad’s offices will remain open to handle in an orderly way changes in customers’ plans, to get ready to again go about the business of exploring the world, and to keep its employees engaged in order for them to have a livelihood and to be ready when travel once again resumes.

 

Lindblad also announced that, in light of the global impact of the COVID-19 virus, it is withdrawing its full year 2020 current financial outlook.
