DEAR T R AV E L E R On the morning of November 13, 1889, journalist Nellie Bly boarded the Augusta Victoria in Hoboken, New Jersey for a trans-Atlantic crossing— the first leg of a thrilling race around the world. Bly’s intent was to beat the fictional 80-day circumnavigation completed by Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days.

Little did Bly know, she was in an actual race with a competing journalist traveling in the opposite direction: Elizabeth Bisland was hot on her trail, departing just eight hours later on a cross-country train bound for San Francisco. These two godmothers of solo female travel journeyed by steamship, train, rickshaw, and sampan— but it was Bly who came home victorious, chugging into a Hoboken rail station on January 25, 1890.

Today—a century after American women won their fight for suffrage— National Geographic celebrates Bly, Bisland, and countless other female pioneers who made significant advances in exploration. It’s because of these women, in part, that we can now take travelers around the world in just 24 days. And while our expedition by private jet is still one of epic proportions, it’s less about the amount of time the trip takes, and more about the amazing experiences we’ll have along the way.

On this incredible journey, we’ll delve into the majesty and mystery of legendary sites like Machu Picchu, Easter Island, and Angkor Wat.

We’ll get immersed in Buddhist culture in the Himalayan countries of Nepal and Bhutan, and delve into the history of Islam as we explore the markets of Marrakech. We’ll track legendary wildlife in the Serengeti, snorkel amid vibrant coral gardens on the Great Barrier Reef, and soak up the colorful Polynesian culture of Samoa.

We’ll also encounter some of civilization’s greatest masterpieces as we wander through the exquisite Taj Mahal and examine buildings carved into sheer sandstone walls in Petra, Jordan.

What makes this trip truly extraordinary is the team of National Geographic Experts that travels with us. Imagine examining the ancient cities of Cusco and Petra with urban geographer Jan Nijman, or documenting the Taj Mahal at sunrise alongside award-winning photographer Annie Griffiths. See pages 8 and 9 for a full list of experts on each departure.

As we fly from one incredible destination to the next, relax in the comfort of the expedition’s VIP-configured jet and hear talks by our experts. On the ground, enjoy world-class accommodations, extraordinary cuisine, and access to iconic places.

We hope that you’ll join us on this once-in-a-lifetime expedition.

A local charter flight brings us to Bhutan, the world's only Mahayana Buddhist kingdom. Arrive in Paro (7,200 feet), which lies at the center of a sweeping valley, and settle into our stunning hotel nestled in the hills outside of town.

Take in gorgeous Himalayan vistas as you explore Paro's highlights, including the Paro Dzong, where we will meet resident monks and learn about their daily lives. In the evening, join locals for a cultural festival, attended by masked dancers and a high-ranking lama.

The following day, you may choose to go on a vigorous hike up to the the cliff-side Taktsang Lhakhang, or Tiger’s Nest Temple (10,200 feet)—Bhutan’s most famous pilgrimage site. Alternatively, spend the day exploring Thimphu (7,900 feet), the capital of Bhutan.

On a city tour, pay a visit to the Royal Textile Academy to see thangkas and traditional Bhutanese clothing, and gaze up at one of the largest seated statues of Buddha in the world.

Fly back to Kathmandu by local charter flight then continue to Agra by private jet. Continue by private jet to Agra and check in to our luxurious hotel, offering views of the Taj Mahal from every room. This afternoon, you may explore the sandstone Agra Fort, a maze of palaces, courtyards, mosques, and private chambers modified by Mughal rulers over hundreds of years. Or you may choose to join local youth on a heritage walk to Agra’s lesser known monuments—part of a project to improve livelihoods in disadvantaged communities.

If you wish, join our National Geographic photographer to capture images of the Taj Mahal during an early morning photo shoot.

Then take a guided tour of the iconic monument, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. Examine its exquisite architecture and artistry and explore its serene gardens. In the afternoon, encounter the exquisite tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah— also referred to as the “baby Taj”—the first Mughal structure in India made entirely from marble. Or visit the tomb of Akbar, one of the most famous Mughal emperors, and examine this architectural marvel built of red sandstone inlaid with white marble.

Alternative: On a half-day excursion, visit the impressive red sandstone city of Fatehpur Sikri, once a Mughal capital and now a World Heritage site. Founded in 1569 by the Mughal emperor Akbar, this renowned site—which blends both Muslim and Hindu architectural styles—reveals a vast complex of royal homes and pavilions, elegant courtyards, and grand gateways, as well as a beautiful mosque.

Fly by private jet to Kilimanjaro International Airport and continue by private charter aircraft to Serengeti National Park. One of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations, the Serengeti Plain is home to the legendary "big five"—rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffalo. Head out across the savanna on game drives to witness Africa’s greatest concentration of wildebeests and zebras. During our stay, meet National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Louise Leakey or one of her colleagues to hear about the many important fossil discoveries made by the Leakey family in the region. Celebrate our visit with a traditional singing and dancing performance.

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Alternative: Instead of exploring the Serengeti, travel by private charter aircraft to the Ngorongoro Crater (8,000 feet), where volcanic slopes shelter more than 25,000 animals. Spend your time on safari with local guides, and in the evening, return to your luxury villa perched on the crater’s rim. Meet National Geographic Explorerat-Large Louise Leakey or one of her colleagues for a private tour of Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey family discovered Homo habilis on a National Geographic–sponsored expedition. Enjoy a bush lunch on the floor of the crater. andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Petra, the once thriving capital of the Arab tribe known as the Nabataeans, is one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites. Situated between Arabia, Egypt, and the Levant, it was an important crossroads of trade before the city was mysteriously abandoned in the seventh century.

Half-built, half-carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs, Petra was left to the winds and sands until it was rediscovered in 1812. Excavations of the city continue today, and include the pioneering work of National Geographic Fellow Sarah Parcak, who has used satellite imagery and aerial drone photography to document a long-unknown structure twice the length of a tennis court and six times as wide at the site.

Enter the city through the Siq—a narrow, winding gorge flanked by towering sandstone walls—and arrive at the Treasury, the most iconic of Petra’s sites. Explore royal tombs and temples that were chiseled from rock some 2,000 years ago. Encounter members of the local Bedouin community, nomadic Arabs who have inhabited the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa for centuries. Learn more about their traditions tonight, when we gather for a festive dinner accompanied by a Bedouin folklore performance.

Set out on a morning tour of Marrakech, Morocco’s legendary “pearl of the South.” Examine historic Moroccan architecture at the 14th-century Ben Youssef Madrasa and the splendid Koutoubia Mosque, and opt to visit the exquisitely carved Bahia Palace. Then venture further into the labyrinthine streets of the medina—a World Heritage site lined with market stalls and craftspeople. See artisans at work in the medina and soak up the lively local atmosphere of Djemaa el Fna square, where snake charmers, magicians, and musicians entertain passersby. Stroll amid exotic plants in the lush Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent.

Alternative: Instead of exploring Marrakech, venture into the Atlas Mountains—the highest mountain range in North Africa, which presents a dramatic contrast to the surrounding desert. Take in sweeping views of this enduring terrain, known for its deep gorges, dense forests, and Berber villages. Experience Berber traditions while sipping mint tea and soaking up the timeless atmosphere of rural Morocco.

INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY. THE RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT AND OPERATOR-PARTICIPANT CONTRACT AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW (THE “AGREEMENT”) INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION. By registering for an “Expedition” (as defined herein), the participant (“Participant”) agrees to the Agreement. In order to secure a reservation on the Expedition, the Participant must indicate his/her acceptance of the terms of the Agreement by signing the Knowing and Voluntary Execution of Responsibility Statement and Operator-Participant Contract and Terms and Conditions, and pay a deposit.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT: National Geographic Expeditions (a division of National Geographic Partners, LLC and its subsidiary Global Adrenaline, LLC, located at 1880 Oak Avenue, Suite 100, Evanston, Illinois 60201) is the principal and is responsible for providing the Around the World by Private Jet Expeditions (“Around the World”) (each an “Expedition”). All transportation carriers, hotels, ground operators, medical providers, and other suppliers of services connected with specific Expeditions (“Other Providers”) are not agents or employees of National Geographic Expeditions but are independent contractors over whom National Geographic Expeditions has no control. The Other Providers are solely responsible and liable for providing their respective services. The passenger tickets in use by the carriers will constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the Participant; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time the Participant is not aboard their conveyances.

National Geographic Partners, LLC, its parent, subsidiaries (including Global Adrenaline, LLC), affiliates, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) will not be held liable for: (A) unless negligent, any damage to, or loss of, property, or injury to, or death of, persons occasioned directly or indirectly by an act or omission of any Other Provider, including but not limited to any defect in any aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle operated or provided by such Other Provider; (B) any loss or damage due to delay, cancellation, or disruption in any manner caused by the laws, regulations, acts or failures to act, demands, orders, or interpositions of any government or any subdivision or agent thereof, or by acts of God, strikes, fire, flood, war, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, sickness, quarantine, epidemics, theft, or any other cause(s) beyond their control; and (C) any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services, lost profits, consequential, exemplary, indirect or punitive damages, or otherwise which may arise out of or occur during the Participant’s travel in connection with the Expedition or Participant’s travel to/from the Expedition. The Participant waives any claim against the Released Parties for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly provided for herein.

National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept, decline to accept, or remove the Participant on or from an Expedition if National Geographic Expeditions judges the Participant to be incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participating in the Expedition (except as applicable to air transportation as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules), or judges the Participant’s actions to be unsuitable for group travel. In recognition of the inherent risk of the travels and related activities in which the Participant is intending to engage, the Participant willingly and voluntarily assumes full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage suffered by or caused by the Participant. National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right, without penalty, to make changes in the published Expedition itinerary whenever, in its judgment, conditions warrant or if it deems it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of the Participants.

The Released Parties will not be liable for any air carrier's cancellation or change penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket to or from the Participant's Expedition departure city. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the Participant.

OPERATOR-PARTICIPANT CONTRACT AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PARTICIPANT AND THE RELEASED PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE. EXPEDITION PRICE: $89,995 per person (double occupancy) with a $8,995 single supplement (10/1–10/24/21, 10/28–11/20/21, 12/28/21–1/20/22); $92,995 per person (double occupancy) with a $9,295 single supplement (1/23–2/15/22; 3/16–4/8/22).

BASIS OF RATES: All prices are based on two persons sharing a room, unless otherwise noted. All prices and fares are quoted in U.S. dollars. The rates are based on tariffs, currency values, airfares, and third-party charges as of catalog publication date and are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. While National Geographic Expeditions will do everything possible to maintain the listed prices, if it is necessary to levy a surcharge, National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to do so and will notify the Participant at the time of final invoicing.

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS: To reserve a place on the Expedition, a deposit of $5,000 per person and a signed acknowledgement of this Responsibility Statement and Operator-Participant Contract and Terms and Conditions is required. The deposit may be made by check, wire transfer, or major credit card.

SECURITY AGREEMENT: Participant’s payments are protected by a surety bond #015201478 issued

by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, 175 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116 (the “Security Agreement”).

Any claims against this Security Agreement must be filed with National Geographic Expeditions or Liberty Mutual Insurance Company within 60 days of the termination of the Expedition. Termination means the date of arrival (or in the case of a canceled flight, the intended date of arrival) of the return flight.

A Participant who paid the deposit by credit card shall have a right to a full refund until this Agreement is signed. Please note that the costs for visas, commercial air tickets, insurance, suite upgrades, and pre- or post-Expedition independent arrangements may not be refundable.

ITINERARY CHANGES: The Expedition itinerary and staff presented in the catalog or on the website are subject to modification and change by National Geographic Expeditions. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the Expedition as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent.

In addition, should unforeseen world events or conditions require the Expedition itinerary to be altered, National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to do so for the safety and best interest of the group.

National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel any Expedition in the event inadequate enrollment makes the Expedition economically infeasible to operate, except as provided below. In such a case, National Geographic Expeditions will provide the Participant with a full refund of the monies paid to National Geographic Expeditions for the Expedition.

National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason, provided National Geographic Expeditions notifies you in writing within seven days after the cancellation occurs, but no later than 10 days before the scheduled departure date. A full refund will be made within 14 days after such cancellation. National Geographic Expeditions will not cancel an Expedition less than 10

O P E RATOR- PA RTICI PANT CONTRACT AND TER M S AN D CO N DI T I O N S days before departure, except for circumstances that make it physically impossible to perform the Expedition. If such a circumstance occurs, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you as soon as possible; and if the trip is canceled, National Geographic Expeditions will refund all monies within 14 days. If National Geographic Expeditions makes a pre-departure “Major Change” to a trip, you may cancel within seven days of notice, or up to departure—whichever is earlier—and receive a full refund within 14 days after your decision to cancel. Only the following constitute “Major Changes:” (i) a change in the departure or return date unless the change results from a flight delay experienced by the air carrier, although a date change that National Geographic Expeditions knows of more than two days before the scheduled flight date or a delay of longer than 48 hours will always be considered a “Major Change;” (ii) a change in the origin or destination city of each flight leg, unless the change affects only the order in which cities named in the itinerary are visited; (iii) a substitution of any hotel or alternate hotel that is not named in the itinerary; or (iv) a price increase of more than 10 percent occurring 10 or more days before departure. If a “Major Change” occurs, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you within seven days after learning of the change but at least 10 days before the scheduled departure. If National Geographic Expeditions first knows of the “Major Change” less than 10 days before departure, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you as soon as possible. If a “Major Change” which you are unwilling to accept occurs after your initial outbound flight has been completed, National Geographic Expeditions will refund, within 14 days after your scheduled return day, that portion of your payment which applies to the service not provided. Participant's rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, including the procedures for major changes, shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under applicable law, provided Participant’s receipt of a refund constitutes a waiver of such additional rights and remedies.

NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION: Participants are responsible for obtaining any documents required for their participation in the Expedition prior to the trip, such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, completed Physician Approval for Travel forms, and any other documents. To participate in the Expedition, visas and/or entry permits may be required for some countries. Acquiring visas and/or entry permits is the responsibility of the Participant. Failure to obtain necessary documents does not negate the Terms and Conditions, and any extra costs incurred for rerouting a Participant due to travel without the necessary document will be the Participant’s responsibility. National Geographic Expeditions will provide information on the necessary visas and/or entry permits in pre-departure documents; however, National Geographic Expeditions does so for informational purposes only. The Participant must verify the travel documents required for his/her travel. National Geographic Expeditions is not liable for any damages resulting from the Participant’s reliance on advice provided by National Geographic Expeditions regarding travel document requirements.

BAGGAGE: On the private jet, the Participant is limited to 90 pounds of checked baggage in two bags (one bag of the Participant’s choice limited to 50 pounds and one wheeled bag that National Geographic Expeditions will send to the Participant ahead of time for use on the Expedition limited to 40 pounds), plus a few smaller carry-on items like a backpack and/or camera. In certain countries, Participants may fly on private light aircraft. Due to weight restrictions on these flights, the Participant will only be allowed one bag, provided to the Participant by National Geographic Expeditions, plus his/her carry-on luggage (including camera equipment). For international flights, the air carrier’s liability is limited to the actual value of the baggage but not more than 1,288 Special Drawing Rights, approximately $1,777 per Participant, or amounts prescribed by applicable law, whichever is less, unless a higher value is declared at the time of check in and an appropriate excess valuation charge is paid. Baggage, when not handled by National Geographic Expeditions, and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the Participant.

AIRCRAFT: The private jet flights will be performed using a Boeing 757 jet with 82 VIP-style seats.

The air carrier for the Expedition will be Icelandair. National Geographic Expeditions and the air carrier reserve the right to substitute equivalent aircraft or scheduled service, if necessary. Participants who actually travel on scheduled service will receive only the protections applicable to such scheduled service.

The Participant’s Expedition itinerary may include flights on smaller aircraft operated by local approved airline carriers. Seating on these aircraft will be economy or economy with limited business seats, based upon the configuration of the aircraft.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS: The operation of these flights may be subject to additional restrictions of the foreign governments involved, including the granting of landing rights for the flights. If the air carrier cannot obtain these rights for any particular flight leg of the Expedition, that flight leg will be canceled and alternative arrangements may be made at the discretion of National Geographic Expeditions.

Alternatively, the Participant may cancel his/her reservation and receive a full refund if a flight leg is cancelled prior to first departure, or a refund of the unused itinerary if a flight leg is cancelled after first departure.

COMMERCIAL AIRFARE: National Geographic Expeditions may be able to assist the Participant in reserving commercial flights from his/her home city to Washington, D.C., and from Washington, D.C. to his/her home city, in the class of service that the Participant prefers. Please ask for details.

INSURANCE: National Geographic Expeditions strongly recommends trip-cancellation, health, and accident insurance, which is available at an additional cost. For more information about and to enroll in an option available through Travel Insurance Services, visit the “Travel Insurance” section of National Geographic Expeditions’ website at natgeoexpeditions.com. Insurance premium payments are subject to the policies of the insurance carrier.

The Participant certifies that either: (i) the Participant has health insurance which will cover personal accidents, medical expenses, medical evacuation, air ambulance, loss of effects, repatriation costs and all other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the Participant; or (ii) the Participant agrees to pay all costs of rescue and/or medical services that may be incurred on the Participant’s behalf.

HEALTH ACCOMMODATIONS: National Geographic Expeditions welcomes travelers with disabilities on all of its trips. However, not all trips may be suitable for all travelers, and certain activities may present challenges for Participants with limited mobility, stamina or endurance concerns, or other types of disabilities or special needs. For Expeditions with destinations outside the United States, any physical condition, diet, or treatment requiring special attention must be reported in writing when the reservation is made so that National Geographic Expeditions can determine whether or not reasonable accommodations are available. Walking and climbing stairs are required on most excursions, at many destinations and hotels, and to board and disembark aircraft at many airports. Boarding assistance will be provided at all U.S. airports, the first foreign airport after departure from the United States, and the last foreign airport before arrival in the United States, if applicable, as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules, but other airports may not provide assistance. If the Participant cannot participate in the Expedition at a reasonable pace, or requires extra assistance, arrangements may be made for private touring at each destination, if necessary, at the discretion of our Expedition staff. Depending upon the nature of the arrangements, extra costs for such arrangements will be the responsibility of the Participant.

If any Participant would like to forgo some of the scheduled sightseeing to rejuvenate and relax, he/she may feel free to do so at any time. Please call National Geographic Expeditions for further details if you require reasonable accommodation to participate on this Expedition.

PHYSICIAN APPROVAL FOR TRAVEL: National Geographic Expeditions has engaged an independent physician group to staff the Expedition with a U.S.-licensed physician (“Expedition Physician”). The Expedition Physician assists National Geographic Expeditions with determining whether an individual may be able to/ought to participate in the Expedition, and is available to Participants to provide professional medical services during the trip. The Participant understands and agrees that Expedition Physician is not an agent or employee of National Geographic Expeditions.

As a condition of participation in the Expedition (except as applicable to air transportation as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules), the Participant must obtain his/her personal physician’s approval to join this Expedition. National Geographic Expeditions will send the Participant a Physician Approval for Travel form for his/her personal physician to complete. The completed form should be submitted directly to the Expedition Physician at the address provided on the form. The Participant understands and agrees that Expedition Physician may share information from the completed form with National Geographic Expeditions. For the latest recommendations on specific health precautions for the areas visited, the Participant should consult his/her physician and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES: The Participant agrees that, should the Participant (i) experience any injury or illness while participating in the Expedition and (ii) become incapacitated such that he/she is unable to direct his/her own care, then National Geographic Expeditions may, in its discretion, rely on the direction of: Participant’s travelling companion, if any; Participant’s emergency contact; an Expedition Physician; or other Expedition staff, to authorize any necessary medical treatment including, but not limited to: X-ray, examination, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis, or treatment and hospital care. Such treatment is to be rendered under the general or specific supervision of a physician licensed in the United States or, if in a foreign country and no U.S.-licensed physician is reasonably available, a duly licensed physician.

In the event of any emergency, medical or otherwise, the Participant authorizes National Geographic Expeditions and the Expedition Physician to release any information necessary to obtain medical or other emergency services to any person providing such services. The information that may be released includes, without limitation, the information set forth on the Physician Approval for Travel form submitted by Participant.

PHOTOGRAPHY: National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to take photographs or videos during the operation of any Expedition or part thereof and to use the resulting photography, videos, or recordings for promotional or commercial use. By making a reservation on the Expedition, the Participant agrees to allow his/her likeness to be used by the Released Parties and the Released Parties–authorized third parties without compensation to the Participant. If the Participant prefers that his/her likeness not be used, he/she must notify National Geographic Expeditions in writing prior to departure of the Expedition.

Copyright of all photographs, video, and related materials created by the Participant (“Expedition Materials”) will belong to the Participant upon creation. The Participant grants to the Released Parties a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use any Expedition Materials provided to the Released Parties in any media for the following limited purposes: editorial use, promotion of this editorial use, promotion of the Released Parties’ travel programs, or promotion of the mission of the Released Parties.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: By registering for an Expedition, the Participant acknowledges that he/she is aware that travel such as on the Expedition he/she is undertaking involves potentially dangerous activities, some in remote areas of the world, with a risk of illness, injury, or death which may be caused by forces of nature, illness, or by willful or criminal conduct of third parties or by terrorism.
