National Geographic Expeditions Wildlife Collection 2025-2026 by National Geographic Expeditions

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCE

Humankind has always had an insatiable curiosity about the world—and an equally insatiable appetite for adventure. For more than 136 years, the National Geographic Society has met these needs by sending explorers down to the depths of the ocean floor, up the peaks of the highest mountains, and everywhere in between. That’s the legacy that National Geographic Expeditions is built on. When you travel with us, you get to know the places, people, and cultures you encounter in ways that will both transform and inspire you. Because every step of the way, our experts and guides—many of whom live and work in the destinations we visit—use their knowledge to forge a stronger connection with, and develop a deeper understanding of, our world and each other.

When we say you’ll be immersed in the locations you visit, we mean exactly that. National Geographic is a name synonymous with behind-the-scenes and upclose experiences that introduce you to fascinating corners of the world—some of which you may never have even known existed. We have built a global reputation for conservation and education that is at the heart of everything we do. So, whether you’re interacting with monks in a hilltop monastery, or trekking through a rainforest in search of rare wildlife, you know that you’ll enjoy unprecedented access to exclusive experiences everywhere you go. And because every detail of your journey—both big and small—is taken care of, you can focus on what it is you came to do: explore and learn.

MEANING

It’s not only those who travel on a National Geographic Expedition who are enriched by the experience. Every purchase helps support the U.S.-based National Geographic Society, an impact-driven nonprofit organization with global reach that uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Through grants and impact investments, the National Geographic Society supports an international community of Explorers that includes leading scientists, educators, storytellers, conservationists, technologists, and many other who are leading bold, innovative, and transformative projects in the areas of Ocean, Land, Wildlife, History & Culture, and Human Ingenuity.

or liable for any complications relating to pregnancy at any stage. If pregnant, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your personal physician before booking a Trip regardless of itinerary. Please contact us if you have questions about specific itineraries.

10. TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended and is available through multiple independent travel insurance providers. Travel insurance typically provides coverage for Trip cancelation and interruption, baggage protection and delay, travel accidents and delay, and emergency medical and dental services and certain associated transportation. If you do not purchase travel insurance, you are responsible for any medical expenses, any medical evacuation costs, and any other costs arising during your travel.

Trip cancelation insurance 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 our website at natgeoexpeditions.com.

11. PRICING DETAILS: All prices are: (i) per person based on two persons sharing a room or cabin, unless otherwise noted; (ii) quoted in U.S. dollars; (iii) estimates based on tariffs; currency values, airfares and third-party charges; and (iv) subject to change prior to booking. Prices vary for each Trip based primarily on when you book, when you travel, room configuration and room location. The specific inclusions of the Trip are set forth in the itinerary. Any items not specifically noted are not included in the Trip price.

Once your deposit and signed Travel Agreement (defined below) is received by us, your Trip price is guaranteed, except where price increases may result from increases in government taxes or fees. Guests added to your party after initial booking will be priced at the then-prevailing rate. Single accommodations are subject to a single supplement and subject to availability based on type of Trip and time of booking.

12. DEPOSIT AMOUNTS: A per-person deposit is required to confirm a reservation. For reservations made within the timeframe between the Final Payment Date (as defined below) and departure, you must pay an amount equal to 100% of the Trip price, but your reservation will remain fully refundable up to 72 hours (the “Hold Period”) to allow you time to review the Travel Agreement (see below).

Signature Land Expeditions

Approx. 10% of lowest published Trip price for each departure

River Cruises

Approx. 10% of lowest published Trip price for each departure

13. FINAL PAYMENT DATES: The following are the final payment dates (“Final Payment Date”) by Trip type that apply, unless the reservation is made on or after the Final Payment Date, in which case 100% of the Trip price is required to be paid at the time of reservation:

Signature Land Expeditions

River Cruises

Payment(s) must be made in U.S. dollars and we accept all U.S. major credit cards, check, or wire (certain countries only). Do not send cash. A Guest’s reservation may be canceled if full payment has not been received by the final payment date. Payment and deposit policy for bookings made for a group (“Group Travel”) may vary. Please contact us or your travel agent, if applicable, for complete details.

14. GUEST CANCELATIONS AND REFUNDS: Failure to strictly comply with the deposit and final payment schedules, or any other applicable policies and procedures, will result in the automatic cancelation of pending reservations and applicable fees will be assessed.

You may cancel by telephone or in writing. The time of cancelation will be the date upon which we receive notice from you. Arriving late or leaving a Trip in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of a Trip.

Unless stated otherwise in your Guest Confirmation, the following cancelation policy shall apply:

Signature Land Expeditions:

Fees (% of Trip price)

Deposit and, if Hold Period applies, 100% of Trip price are nonrefundable after the earlier of (i) the end of the 14-day grace period, (ii) the Hold Period, or (iii) our receipt of your executed Travel Agreement

Notwithstanding the above cancelation fee schedule: 1) for reservations made subject to a Hold Period, any payments made shall be fully refundable during the Hold Period; and 2) nonrefundable payments applied from placeholder reservations towards the Deposit or Trip price remain nonrefundable.

The cancelation fees set forth above shall apply irrespective of resale by us. Cancelation policy for Group Travel may vary. Please contact us or your travel agent, if applicable, for complete details.

15. PRE- AND POST-TRIP EXTENSIONS AND EXTRA ARRANGEMENTS: We recommend that you arrive a day or two prior to the start of your Trip to get acclimated and to allow for unexpected travel delays. Also, you may choose to stay a day or two after to extend your Trip on your own. Both pre- and poststays are available at additional cost to you. Please contact us for price, details, and availability, which are not guaranteed. On some Trips, airport meet & greet and hotel transfer services are available in connection with these additional days. Our special rates for these additional days are only available if booked through us in conjunction with a Trip and cannot be combined with any other offer. Canadian Guests: please contact your travel agent.

The policies regarding deposits, payments, and cancelations for all Trips also apply to pre- and postTrip extensions and hotel nights, and extra arrangements confirmed on any Guest’s behalf, unless otherwise noted. Any revisions made to the booking, such as a change in departure date or choice of Trip, are subject to the cancelation policy.

16. AIR TRAVEL: Neither we, Tour Operator, Suppliers, nor any of their affiliates will be liable for any airline’s cancelation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket to or from the Guest’s Trip departure city or return city. Any airline tickets issued are subject to the carrier’s refund policy. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the Guest.

17. ITINERARY MODIFICATIONS/OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL: We will make every reasonable effort to operate the Trips as advertised; however, we and Tour Operator reserve the right to curtail or modify the itinerary, including but not limited to curtailment or modification of Activities, hotels, meals, transportation, and Experts, as we deem necessary. Please also note that during certain holidays and peak periods or due to repairs or renovations, some Activities may be disrupted or unavailable. Deviations from planned Trip itineraries or any aspects of the travel may occur. If conditions make river cruise routes unsafe for navigation or in other respects, or raise sufficient doubt about safety, we and Tour Operator reserve the right to modify or provide alternate services, which may include, but are not limited to, providing accommodation on the docked ship or on land and/or substituting ground arrangements for river cruise transportation. We and Tour Operator further reserve the right to reduce the number of Experts, and to modify other services to accommodate a smaller group, if a minimum number of guests is not reached. Similarly, the stated group maximum size may be marginally exceeded if necessary to accommodate a family. None of these modifications or changes shall affect the Trip price or entitle you to any credit or refund.

We shall also have the right, in our sole and absolute discretion to cancel or modify a reservation in whole or in part, at any time if the reservation includes or was made as the result of a mistake or error of any kind, including, but not limited to, a mistake or error in price or description of the Trip or Activity, where it appears that a Guest has engaged in fraudulent or misleading activity in making the reservation, or due to prior disputed or suspected fraudulent payment transactions. If a reservation is canceled by us, in cases where we have received a valid and confirmed payment, we will provide a refund, and shall have no responsibility beyond the refund of monies paid to us related to the cancelation by us.

We reserve the right to cancel any Trip or Activity because of inadequate enrollment that makes the Trip or Activity economically infeasible to operate or because of good-faith concerns with respect to the safety, health, or welfare of the Guests. If we cancel a Trip prior to departure, the Guest will be provided with a full refund of monies paid to us; except in the event that the cancelation is due to a significant event that makes it infeasible to operate the Trip as planned, in which case the Guest will be provided with a refund and/or credit toward a future Trip equivalent to the amount paid.

If a Guest elects to leave a Trip in progress of their own volition, the Guest will not receive any type of refund. If we or Tour Operator cancels the Trip in progress and the Guest elects not to immediately return to the Guest’s original point of departure for the Trip, or if the Guest elects to leave a Trip in progress of their own volition, the Guest acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Guest shall be solely responsible for Guest’s travel plans once Guest departs the Trip; (ii) neither we nor the Tour Operator shall have any responsibility for or control over the Guest’s safety or activities once the Guest departs the Trip; and (iii) the Guest will be solely responsible for any and all costs that may arise out of the Guest’s decision to not return to the original point of departure from the Trip in progress. Except as outlined above when we cancel a Trip, you will have full responsibility for any expenses, including any nonrefundable expenses, incurred by you in preparing for a canceled Trip or for any additional arrangements should you embark prior to the scheduled group departure date.

18. TRAVEL AGREEMENT: The General Release, COVID-19 Release, and Travel Agreement, which also incorporates these Terms and Conditions (the “Travel Agreement”) is an agreement containing a general release of liability, indemnity, assumption of risks and other provisions provided to you upon booking. You will be required to sign and return the Travel Agreement to us as soon as possible. If you choose not to execute the Travel Agreement, you have 14 calendar days after booking to cancel and receive a full refund of your deposit, or, if a Hold Period applies to your reservation, you have the Hold Period to cancel and receive a full refund of the Trip price. We strongly advise that you not make any commitments that cannot be canceled within 14 calendar days after booking, or during the Hold Period, as applicable. Once we receive your executed Travel Agreement, your deposit and other amounts paid are nonrefundable unless otherwise stated in your Guest Confirmation. If you do not return the Travel Agreement before departure, and are not within the refundable timeframes noted above, you will not be able to participate on the Trip and all amounts paid are nonrefundable unless otherwise stated in your Guest Confirmation.

19. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither we nor our corporate parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, employees, officers, directors, successors, representatives, agents, or independent suppliers, will be held liable for any loss or damage due to delay, cancelation, or disruption in any manner caused by any of the following causes, to the extent beyond our reasonable control: acts of God, accidents, riots, wars, hostilities, blockages, revolutions, riots, insurrections, terrorist acts, epidemics or pandemics (including but not limited to COVID-19), quarantines, civil commotions, breakdown of communication facilities, natural catastrophes, governmental acts or omissions, changes in laws or regulations, labor strikes, fire, explosions, or sabotage.

20. NAME CHANGES/TRANSFERABILITY: Reservations and Trip components are non-transferable. We will make a reasonable effort to accommodate changes to Guest names prior to departure provided that at least one member of the originally-booked party travels; however, we reserve the right to pass on to you any third-party costs (such as from airlines or Suppliers (as defined herein)) we incur in so doing.

21. GOVERNMENTAL ADVISORIES/NECESSARY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: You are solely responsible for obtaining and understanding current travel advisories, warnings, requirements, and restrictions by contacting your travel agent, applicable embassies, and consulates. We strongly encourage you to visit the U.S. State Department’s website at https://travel.state.gov and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at https://www.cdc.gov. Non-U.S. residents should consult the appropriate consulates regarding passport, visa, and other document requirements. All Guests must have valid government-issued proof of citizenship to travel, in addition to any other requirements of the country of origin and countries visited. Those without proper documentation may be denied travel. In addition, you may be denied entry to the countries visited if you do not meet each country’s entry requirements. If you did not purchase air travel through us, you are solely responsible for notifying us of flight changes affecting your arrival or we will not be able to meet you at the specified arrival airport. Failure to obtain documents does not negate the Travel Agreement, and any extra costs incurred for rerouting due to travel without the necessary documents will be your responsibility. You are solely responsible for obtaining any documents required for your participation on the Trip such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, and any other documents which may be required by your itinerary or as required for traveling with minors, and complying with any destination specific requirements or restrictions.

22. GOVERNING LAW: YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WHATSOEVER (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR BASED ON STATUTE) IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM YOUR TRIP, YOUR PURCHASE OF A TRIP FROM US, THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THE TRAVEL AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO YOUR TRIP SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THE TRAVEL AGREEMENT, AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO YOUR TRIP SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ENTERED INTO AND CONSUMMATED ENTIRELY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

23. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO RIVER CRUISES: These additional terms apply to river cruises. Passenger Ticket Contract: The river cruise component of the river cruise Trips, including vessel, vessel amenities, food and beverages served thereon and vessel crew, is provided by a Supplier, AMAWaterways Gmbh (“AMA”). Prior to embarkation you will receive a Passenger Ticket Contract, which governs your relationship with AMA as a passenger on the river cruise vessel and establishes limits of liability, limits on claims and time limits for making claims, as well as other restrictions, limits and disclaimers limiting AMA’s liability to you, which are wholly separate from, and independent of, these Terms and Conditions and the Travel Agreement, which govern your relationship with us and Tour Operator. Excursions: Certain excursions have limited capacity and are available to Guests on a first-come, first-served basis. As a result, we are unable to guarantee that each Guest will be able to participate in each excursion such Guest requests. Baggage: You may bring aboard the river cruise vessel, without additional charge, up to one (1) suitcase per person. Additional baggage will be subject to excess baggage charges.

24. CALIFORNIA TRAVEL RESTITUTION FUND NOT APPLICABLE: We are not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund.

25. UNITED STATES TOUR OPERATORS ASSOCIATION $1 MILLION TRAVELERS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: We share the coverage available under the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program with certain affiliates, with one such an affiliate who, as an Active Member of the USTOA, is required to post $1 Million with USTOA to be used to reimburse, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program, the advance payments of our Guests in the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency or cessation of business. Further, you should understand that the $1 Million posted and shared among certain of our affiliates may be sufficient to provide only a partial recovery of the advance payments we have received.
