I once traveled with Lindblad among a group of passengers that included a 92 year old man with a broken arm, in a cast. The trip was in the Galapagos, so we didn't have to worry about snow/ice - but the crew got that gentleman into the Zodiac and out onto the shore and back aboard ship twice a day for a week. He had a great time, and there were no incidents. I've seen the crew perform similar uncredible feats in the Arctic and the Antarctic - they absolutely know what they're doing and do it magnificently. Even on less stable and forgiving ships (e.g., the original Sea Cloud) the Lindblad people are pros.
Their naturalists and expedition leaders can't be beat. Many of them are scientists and naturalists in their own right, and each expedition usually includes some naturalists who come from the area being visited.
Anyone been on Lindblad NG Explorer?
