DEAR T R AV E L E R Soon we will once again enjoy the freedom to explore this astonishing world of ours. As we look ahead to the promise of future travel, many of us are determining where and how we will go when we can. One extraordinary option is to embark on a bucket-list trip—to make up for lost time by taking an epic journey, experiencing as much as we possibly can. I’m pleased to tell you that the pages that follow are filled with just such opportunities. You can explore the wonders of an entire continent or circumnavigate the globe, visiting some of its most legendary sites without the tangle of logistics and long overland journeys.

A single trip can link far-flung cultures, rare wildlife, and iconic places—giving you an unparalleled perspective on our planet.

As you thumb through this catalog, you’ll find six phenomenal expeditions by private jet—any of which would offer an unforgettable way to return to travel. Our new Central and South America by Private Jet expedition will immerse travelers in marvels from the ancient temples of Tikal and Machu Picchu to Patagonia, Iguaçu Falls, the Panama Canal, and more. Across the Atlantic, we’ll explore another fascinating continent on Africa by Private Jet—a trip that combines the legendary wildlife of southern Africa and Rwanda with visits to places with rich cultural heritage, such as Morocco, Ghana, and Zanzibar.

One of our newest expeditions— Australia and New Zealand by Private Jet—will bring us down under to discover great cities like Sydney and Melbourne, get acquainted with the ancient traditions of New Zealand’s Maori and Australia’s Aboriginal people, and encounter incredible natural treasures from Milford Sound to Uluru.

Our Wildlife of the World expedition affords us rare encounters with endangered species such as mountain gorillas, orangutans, tigers, lemurs, and elephants—and the researchers and conservationists working to protect them. And our classic Around the World by Private Jet journey circumnavigates the globe, bringing us to iconic places like Easter Island, the Taj Mahal, and the Serengeti.

On each of these trips, you’ll travel in the comfort of a VIP-configured private jet and stay in world-class accommodations wherever you go.

And you’ll do it all in the company of our top-notch experts—geographers, wildlife biologists, historians, archaeologists, and photographers who seek to share their passions with you.

Returning to travel will be so many things: cathartic, illuminating, inspiring—a celebration of our own resilience and the enduring wonder of our planet. We hope you’ll join us.

The signature of these expeditions is the extraordinary team of experts that travels with us—anthropologists, wildlife biologists, geographers, and photographers who bring the places we go to life.

National Geographic opens doors around the globe. Our relationships with scientists, storytellers, museums, and active research sites allow us special access to places and people—including our own grantees, whom we meet in the field whenever we can. Traveling with us, you’ll enjoy a host of specially arranged experiences, whether it’s encountering Australia’s unique creatures on a behind-the-scenes visit to a wildlife reserve, or enjoying an exclusive dinner in the atrium of Frank Gehry’s Biomuseo in Panama.

Over the past 133 years, we’ve sent our scientists, storytellers, and adventurers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the oceans’ depths and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand our planet. National Geographic Expeditions grew from this legacy as a way to invite others to explore—to encounter the wonders of the world up close, in depth, right at the source, and to be transformed by the experience.

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 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.

For The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America, refunds will be processed within 14 days of receipt of the Participant’s notice of cancellation.

A Participant who paid the deposit by credit card shall have a right to a full refund until this Agreement is signed.

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.

For Africa; Australia and New Zealand; and Wildlife: National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason. A full refund will be made after such cancellation.

For The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America: 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 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.

National Geographic Expeditions makes a pre-departure “Major Change” to a trip, you may cancel within 7 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 2 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; provided that National Geographic Expeditions does so for informational purposes only. Participant must verify the travel documents required for his/her travel. National Geographic Expeditions is not liable for any damages resulting from Participant’s reliance on advice provided by National Geographic Expeditions regarding travel document requirements.

BAGGAGE: On The Future of Everything; Around the World; Central and South America; Wildlife; and Africa private jets 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.

On the Australia and New Zealand private jet, the Participant is limited to 70 pounds of checked baggage in two bags (one bag of the Participant’s choice limited to 42 pounds and one small, wheeled duffle that National Geographic Expeditions will send to the Participant ahead of time for use on the Expedition limited to 28 pounds).

Additionally, each Participant is entitled to a carry-on not exceeding 9 in. W x 13.3 in. H x 18.8 in. L; and not exceeding a total weight of 15.4 pounds. While on the private jet, both the Participant’s large bag and small, wheeled duffel will be stored in the cargo hold during flights. Participants carry-on will be available to take into the cabin for use during flights alone with other small personal items such as purses and camera bags.

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 62 VIP-style seats for Africa and Wildlife. The private jet flights will be performed using a Boeing 757 jet with 82 VIP-style seats for The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America. The air carrier for The Future of Everything; Around the World; Central and South America; Wildlife ; and Africa will be Icelandair. The private jet flights will be performed using a Fokker 70 jet with 48 VIP-style seats for Australia and New Zealand. The air carrier for the Australia and New Zealand will be Alliance Airlines. 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 Seattle, WA, and from Boston, MA to his/her home city (The Future of Everything); from his/her home city to Washington, D.C., and from Washington, D.C., to his/her home city (Around the World); from his/her home city to Washington, D.C., and from Miami, FL, to his/her home city (Central and South America); from his/her home city to Singapore, and from Rome, Italy, to his/her home city (Wildlife); from his/her home city to Queenstown, New Zealand, and from Melbourne, Australia, to his/her home city (Australia and New Zealand); and from his/her home city to London, England, and from Rome, Italy, to his/her home city (Africa), in the class of service that the Participant prefers.

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.

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.

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. The Participant further acknowledges that weather conditions may be severe, adverse, and/or unpleasant and that medical services or facilities may not be readily available or accessible or consistent with standards in the United States during some or all of the time during which he/she is participating on the Expedition, and that when available may not be of the quality which exists in the United States.

THE PARTICIPANT AND RELEASED PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THE PARTICIPANT’S OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR MULTI-CLAIMANT PROCEEDING, OR OTHER COLLECTIVE ACTION (SUCH AS AN ACTIONI N THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL).
