Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 2 Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The presentation of certain prior year items in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 no Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Management estimates include determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the valuation of securities underlying stock-based compensation, income tax expense, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the fair value of derivative instruments, the value of contingent consideration and assessing its litigation, other legal claims and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Revenue Recognition Revenues are measured based on consideration specified in the Company’s contracts with guests and are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from guest ticket contracts which are reported as tour revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s primary performance obligation under these contracts is to provide an expedition and may Tour revenues also include revenues from the sale of goods and services onboard our ships, cancellation fees and trip insurance. Revenues from the sale of goods and services rendered onboard are recognized upon purchase. Guest cancellation fees are recognized as tour revenues at the time of the cancellation.

The Company uses an insurance company to manage passenger insurance purchased to cover a variety of insurable losses including cancellations, interruption, missed connections, travel delays, accidental death and dismemberment, medical coverage and baggage issues. In certain instances, the Company is self-insured for the claims only which cover cancellations, interruption, missed connections and travel delays.

The resulting aggregated surplus of the clubs combines to provide the Company with below market primary and high excess liability coverage for covered losses. For consideration of long-term below market Protection and Indemnity rates, the joint and several liability obligation requires the down-stream indemnification by their members, including the Company.

Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three Level 1 Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at measurement date. Level 2 Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that cannot be corroborated by market data. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment. Level 3 no 3 The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and unearned passenger revenue approximate fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value given that the terms of the agreement were comparable to the market as of December 31, 2019 2018. December 31, 2019 2018, no The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Currency Risk Interest Rate Risk By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself, from time to time, to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company continues to monitor counterparty credit risk as part of its ongoing hedge assessments. The Company’s derivative assets consist principally of interest rate caps and currency exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 not The Company records derivatives on a gross basis in other long-term assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in value of the derivative depends on whether or not not The Company applies hedge accounting to interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives entered into for risk management purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. In addition, key aspects of achieving hedge accounting are documentation of hedging strategy and hedge effectiveness at the hedge inception and substantiating hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated in a hedge relationship and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to determine the Company’s estimated effective tax rate. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which it recognizes deferred income taxes for the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based upon the weight of available evidence, the Company does not not” The Company regularly assesses the potential outcome of current and future examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the provision for income taxes.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three Level 1 Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at measurement date. Level 2 Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that cannot be corroborated by market data. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment. Level 3 no 3 The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and unearned passenger revenue approximate fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Currency Risk Interest Rate Risk By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself, from time to time, to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company continues to monitor counterparty credit risk as part of its ongoing hedge assessments. The Company’s derivative assets consist principally of interest rate caps and currency exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 not The Company records derivatives on a gross basis in other long-term assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in value of the derivative depends on whether or not not The Company applies hedge accounting to interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives entered into for risk management purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. In addition, key aspects of achieving hedge accounting are documentation of hedging strategy and hedge effectiveness at the hedge inception and substantiating hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated in a hedge relationship and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to determine the Company’s estimated effective tax rate.
