Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Business Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc.’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “Lindblad”) mission is offering life-changing adventures around the world and pioneering innovative ways to allow its guests to connect with exotic and remote places. The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “LIND”. The Company operates the following two reportable business segments: Lindblad Segment. The Lindblad segment currently operates a fleet of 12 owned expedition ships and seven seasonal charter vessels (with several other vessels contracted for future expeditions), and primarily provides ship-based expeditions aboard customized, nimble and intimately-scaled vessels that venture where larger cruise ships cannot, thus allowing Lindblad to offer up-close experiences in the planet’s wild and remote places and capitals of culture. Each expedition ship is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for in-depth exploration, and the majority of expeditions involve travel to remote places with limited infrastructure and ports, such as Antarctica and the Arctic, or places that are best accessed by a ship, such as the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Baja California’s Sea of Cortez and Panama, and foster active engagement by guests. The Company has a brand license agreement with National Geographic Partners, LLC (“National Geographic”), which provides for lecturers and National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers and film crews, to join many of the Company’s expeditions. Land Experiences Segment. The Land Experiences segment includes the five primarily land-based brands, Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”), Off the Beaten Path, LLC (“Off the Beaten Path”), DuVine Cycling + Adventure Company (“DuVine”), Classic Journeys, LLC (“Classic Journeys”), and Thomson Group, comprised of Wineland-Thomson Adventures, LLC and Thomson Safaris Ltd (together “Thomson Safaris”), Nature Discovery Ltd (“Nature Discovery”), and the Ngorongoro lodge and farm under the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge Ltd (“Gibb’s Farm”).

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding unaudited interim financial information and include the accounts and transactions of the Company. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The presentation of credit card fee expenses in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company has been reclassified from within general and administrative expense to cost of tours for 2024 to conform with the 2025 presentation.

ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2027, as required, and the amendments will increase the Company’s financial statement disclosures of certain expense items reported within its expense categories presented on its statement of operations.
