Item 8.01 Other Events.

Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that on December 27, 2016, the 102-guest National Geographic Orion experienced a significant technical issue with its main engine as it was leaving the Antarctic Peninsula on its way back to Ushuaia, Argentina. The ship's Safe Return to Port feature was immediately enabled and the vessel returned to port one day later than its scheduled arrival date without harm to any passengers, crew or the environment. The Company is still evaluating the necessary steps to repair the vessel, but it is expected that the National Geographic Orion will be out of service for a total of five voyages and return to regularly scheduled operation in April 2017. The majority of cancelled guests have already rebooked for future Company voyages, however, 2016 revenue will be impacted by approximately one million dollars and 2016 operating income by approximately five hundred thousand dollars. For 2017, the Company currently expects the impact on revenue will be between nine and ten million dollars and the impact on operating income will be between two and three million dollars. The Company will update any significant changes to these estimates as additional information becomes available.
