2025-2026 National Geographic Private Jet Expeditions by National Geographic Expeditions

DEAR TRAVELER

A LETTER FROM NANCY SCHUMACHER

A National Geographic Expedition by Private Jet is not only an incredible travel adventure, but it can also be a life-changing experience that alters the way you see the world.

Imagine circumnavigating the globe, exploring places that most people only dream of visiting. Or discovering the wonders of a region with which you’ve always been fascinated. Then imagine doing it all alongside National Geographic Experts who will impart you with a deeper understanding of the places and people you encounter along the way.

Another wonderful aspect of our private jet expeditions is the opportunity to indulge your passions—like photography, art, or wildlife—with themed itineraries inspired by National Geographic’s legendary spirit exploration. In fact, our newest trips are some of the best examples of this spirit. As you read through this catalog, be sure to look for Photographing the World by Private Jet, Circumnavigating the North by Private Jet,

and our two new shorter-duration Discovery trips: African Discovery by Private Jet and South American Discovery by Private Jet

If you’ve traveled with us before, I highly recommend you consider one of these new trips for your next adventure. And if you’ve never been on a National Geographic Expeditions by Private Jet trip before, prepare for the most remarkable journey you could ever imagine—one that will leave you amazed, enriched, and inspired.

Sincerely,

Nancy Schumacher Senior Vice President National Geographic

PRIVATE JET TRAVEL

Each National Geographic Expedition by Private Jet has its own unique characteristics. Some take you on an aroundthe-world odyssey to a wide range of destinations.

You’ll fly in exceptional comfort aboard a customized aircraft—complete with a seasoned flight crew, dedicated jet chef, physician, and baggage handlers. Seating is arranged

in a spacious two-by-two, VIP-style configuration for supreme in-flight comfort.

And to ensure a seamless travel experience from start to finish, you will receive special assistance, services, and access throughout your journey.

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCE

The signature of our private jet expeditions is the extraordinary team of National Geographic Experts that travels with you—biologists, archaeologists, cultural experts, geographers, and photographers who interpret what you encounter on your journey. On expeditions in 2025 and 2026, explore alongside award-winning photographer Nevada Wier—a Fellow of the Explorers Club and a member of the Society of Women Geographers. Nevada’s journeys have taken her to many of the planet’s deserts, mountains, and urban jungles, as well as to more than 100 countries across the globe.

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, who we meet in the field whenever we can. Traveling with us, you go behind the scenes to get a close-up view of work that’s helping to illuminate and protect the world’s cultural and natural treasures, from restoring corals on the Great Barrier Reef to the revival of ancient Peruvian weaving traditions by National Geographic grantee Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez.

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 1) 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, 2) due to prior disputed or suspected fraudulent payment transactions, or 3) due to over-enrollment or reasonably unforeseen reduced capacity on the Trip. If a reservation is cancelled by us, in cases where we have received a valid and confirmed payment, we will provide a full 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. If a Guest elects to leave a Trip in progress of their own volition, the Guest will not receive any type of refund.

We reserve the right to cancel a Trip or your reservation for any reason, provided we notify you in writing within 7 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. We will not cancel a Trip less than 10 days before departure, except for circumstances that make it physically impossible to perform the Trip. If such a circumstance occurs, we will notify you as soon as possible; and if the Trip is cancelled, we will refund all monies within 14 days. If we make 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 we know 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, we will notify you within 7 days after learning of the change but at least 10 days before the scheduled departure. If we first know of the “Major Change” less than 10 days before departure, we 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, we will refund, within 14 days after your scheduled return day, that portion of your payment which applies to the service not provided. Your rights and remedies set forth herein, including the procedures for major changes, shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under applicable law, provided your receipt of a refund constitutes a waiver of such additional rights and remedies.
