shoreline changes from stark rock to vibrant forest. Feel the spray of seawater as your Zodiac whisks you through the surf to shore. Our ships in the Pacific Northwest are nimble enough to tie up at the small docks along the river; and they’re outfitted with Zodiacs to access locations along Canadian coastal waterways untouched by tourist infrastructure. We have been exploring here for decades, and our fleet of four ideally sized ships will convey you to beautiful places where larger ships simply cannot go.

Intimately scaled, with open bows and decks for unobstructed wildlife viewing, they are the perfect platforms for off-thebeaten-path experiences. All four vessels are equipped with a roster of exploration tools that make expedition travel so

We are thrilled with our newest, U.S.-flagged ships, National Geographic Venture and National Geographic Quest, designed to give a complement of 100 guests the same intimate, inclusive experience the 62-guest National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion provide. They’ve introduced a generation to the profound joys of upclose, personal exploration with expert naturalists, and a collegial expedition community.

Whether standing on the open deck as the ship passes through the colossal locks on the Columbia & Snake Rivers or scanning the shore for wildlife along British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, you’ll experience the marvels of the region from the ideal vantage point. Large windows in the ships’ dining rooms mean you never have to sacrifice a view, and delicious meals are sourced locally, so you can taste the best of the Pacific Northwest.

DISCOVER THE BOUNTIFUL PACIFIC NORTHWEST IN THE SHIPS’ DINING ROOMS,

on farms, in orchards, and at wineries. Our chefs provision our ships along our route, shopping at local farms as part of a program that raises the bar on locality, seasonality, and sustainability. Our certification as a Food Alliance Supply Chain Ally ensures that food served aboard is produced by well-treated workers, derived from humanely-raised animals, and that regional wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced in its production. And our Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch certification means that seafood served aboard our fleet is harvested in environmentally responsible ways. For you, that means delicious dining that highlights the best of the area.

On our Columbia & Snake Rivers voyage, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch in Walla Walla on spring departures, or in the golden Hood River Valley in the fall, and welcome a vintner or brewer aboard for a sampling in the ship’s lounge. And on the British Columbia itinerary, learn about polyculture farming, the next level of farm sustainability. Then enjoy a dinner entirely sourced from a local polyculture farm. Eat well, and go home with a deeper knowledge of how delectable dining and sustainability can live in harmony.

RESERVATION INFORMATION Terms & Conditions: For complete terms and conditions please visit expeditions.com/terms Pricing: For best pricing book early. Prices quoted in this brochure are valid as of the time of printing, are subject to modification based on select departures and availability at time of booking, and are not guaranteed until booking and required deposit is made. Under normal conditions, the total expedition price is guaranteed at the time of booking. However, our expedition pricing is determined far in advance of initial departure on the basis of then-existing projections of fuel and other costs. In the event of increases in those costs including, but not limited to, increases in the price of fuel, currency fluctuations, increases in government taxes or levies, or increased security costs, we reserve the right to adjust the price of your expedition or add a surcharge to cover such unexpected increases. We will always provide an explanation of the reason for increase in pricing. Visit expeditions.com or call for the most up-to-date pricing.

Travel Protection Plan is available for U.S. residents only and may be purchased any time prior to final payment due date. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you may return your plan within 10 days after purchase.

Your premium will be refunded if canceled within 10 days, provided you have not already departed on the trip or filed a claim. When so returned, the coverage under the plan is void from the original date of purchase.
