THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCE

EXPERTISE IMMERSION

Humankind has always had an insatiable curiosity about the world—and an equally insatiable appetite for adventure. For more than 135 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, 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 extraordinary experiences everywhere you go. And because every detail of your journey—both big and small—are 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. Your purchase also has another, equally valuable, purpose. Every purchase helps support the U.S.-based global nonprofit National Geographic Society, which works to protect and illuminate our world through exploration, research, and education. 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.

If a reservation is cancelled 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 cancellation 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 cancellation 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 cancelled 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 cancelled 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, cancellation, 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.
