Lindblad Expeditions has acquired a majority ownership of luxury Antarctic company, White Desert, and Echo Charlie, a new aviation travel brand providing specialised access to unique destinations.
Patrick Woodhead, founder of White Desert, will also be joining Lindblad Expeditions as Strategic Innovation Advisor
The company, which operates immersive, educational expeditions to more than 100 destinations across every continent, now holds a 60% stake in White Desert.
Natalya Leahy, Chief Executive Officer of Lindblad Expeditions, said: “While this is the largest transaction in the history of the company, it is much more than a business deal.
"It is a powerful partnership between two businesses that have spent decades pushing the boundaries of what experiential travel can be.”
