Chef De Partie

Lindblad Expeditions is a true pioneer in Expedition Travel. From taking the first citizen explorers to Antarctica in 1966, opening the Galapagos and Easter Island to tourism in 1967, leading the first tourist expedition through the Northwest Passage in 1984, and launching our innovative partnership with National Geographic in 2004, we're now taking almost 30,000 guests a year to some of the world’s most remote and pristine locations on our fleet of 20 ships, and are committed to ensuring our guests experience the “Exhilaration of Discovery”.

As Chef de Partie aboard a Lindblad Expeditions vessel, you’ll take a key role in the preparation of high-quality meals — with a special focus on cooking daily crew meals that are nourishing, balanced, and executed with care. You’ll also assist the Head and Sous Chef with guest meal prep, buffet setups, canapés, and action station service, and may be called on to help with inventory, provisioning, and sanitation efforts. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role that requires strong culinary fundamentals, solid time management, and a collaborative mindset.

 

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and confident managing multiple tasks in a high-volume environment. You should also be ready to step up and support the galley team as needed — including leading others or filling in for more senior roles when necessary. This is a full-time, rotational position working approximately 12 hours per day on an 8 weeks on / 4 weeks off schedule.
