DEAR T R AV E L E R For 132 years, the National Geographic Society has celebrated the world and all its wonders, and our explorers have shared compelling stories of their epic adventures. From crossing the great Gobi desert by “motor-car” in 1913 to reporting on the unique culture of Greenland’s sea ice scientists in 2019, the Society has established and upheld a grand tradition of exploration, discovery, and storytelling. Now we invite you to experience some of the greatest treasures of the planet’s northerly reaches firsthand, on a once-in-alifetime journey—Around the World

by Private Jet: The Northern Route.

Imagine this: On a single adventure, you’ll find yourself standing in the glow of Kyoto’s iconic Golden Pavilion, reveling in the imperial splendor of St. Petersburg, soaking in Iceland’s famed Blue Lagoon, and soaring over Greenland’s epic Jakobshavn Glacier on a thrilling flight-seeing excursion. You’ll cruise Norway’s stunning fjords and the mirror-like waters of Lake Baikal; and, in Mongolia, you’ll meet with a family of nomads to hear about daily life on the steppe.

What truly distinguishes this program are the National Geographic Experts whose knowledge, personal experiences, and passion enhance each destination. Joining us on this departure are Jan Nijman, a geographer and former member of National Geographic’s Committee for Research and Exploration; William Saturno, an archaeologist and storyteller specializing in early civilizations; and award-winning National Geographic photographer Jay Dickman.

At the confluence of the Angara and Irkut Rivers lies the city of Irkutsk, the administrative and cultural center of Siberia’s Irkutsk region.

Founded as a winter camp for fur traders and miners in the 17th century, the city grew in importance after the construction of the Tran-Siberian Railroad and today is one of eastern Russia’s major economic centers.

A tour takes us to the baroque-style Church of the Savior and the World War II Memorial of the Eternal Flame. Then we’ll step back in time at the Decembrist Museum, featuring two manor houses meticulously restored to the period following the 1825 Decembrist Revolt, when Russian artists, military officers, and aristocrats were exiled to Siberia and initiated Irkutsk’s artistic and intellectual renaissance.

Travel to Listvyanka and embark on a private cruise across the glassy waters of Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world by volume. At over a mile deep, the lake holds about one fifth of the world’s unfrozen fresh water—more than the North American Great Lakes combined. Baikal is also home to many species of flora and fauna that exist nowhere else in the world, including the Baikal seal, or nerpa— the only species of freshwater seal. Savor a hearty barbeque lunch on shore accompanied by a folklore performance. Return to Irkutsk by way of a historic Trans-Siberian steam train, followed by a private hydrofoil trip up the Angara River.

Step into the Peter and Paul Fortress, explore the world’s largest collection of Carl Fabergé works—including his famed eggs—at the Fabergé Museum, or visit the Museum of Political History of Russia for a primer on contemporary Russian politics.

Travel by private hydrofoil to Peterhof, a series of seafront palaces and gardens known as the Russian Versailles. Tour the red-roofed Monplaisir Palace, a favorite residence of Peter the Great; then see the iconic Grand Cascade, a magnificent series of gilded fountains, and enjoy a special opportunity to step inside the heart of the structure to view its complex mechanics. We’ll also enjoy an evening visit to the magnificent Catherine Palace, commissioned by Peter the Great for his wife, Catherine. Tour the spectacular Amber Room, and ramble through the vast formal gardens of Catherine Park, dotted with sculptures and historic monuments.

Today, this colorful city is more commonly known as the gateway to Norway’s world-famous fjords. Set out on a walking tour of the World Heritage–listed Bryggen, choosing to cap off your exploration of this historic wharf with one of three available experiences: a visit to the Hanseatic Museum, a wander through the bustling waterfront fish market, or a funicular ride to the top of Mount Fløyen for unparalleled views of the cityscape and coastal fjords. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a private piano concert at our stunning heritage hotel.

The next day gather for a cruise across Hardangerfjorden, one of the region’s most breathtaking fjords. As we glide along mirror-like waters, gaze up at towering cliffs laced with waterfalls, and spot historic fishing villages along the shoreline. Our destination is the private island of Vestre Steinsundholmen, home to a family of fishermen who provide seafood to Michelin-starred restaurants across the globe. Tour the property, then taste the daily catch at a special lunch. After returning to Bergen, you’ll have the option to visit the KODE Art Museums or explore Troldhaugen, the former home of famed composer Edvard Grieg.

On a daylong tour of the celebrated Golden Circle, visit the Geysir geothermal area to glimpse signs of the volatile activity occurring deep underneath the island. Hear the roar of the Gullfoss waterfall, then explore Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet at the deep fissure of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Thingvellir is also the ancient gathering place of the Althing, the oldest democratically elected parliament still in operation today.

Choose to soak in the mineral-rich, geothermal waters of the famed Blue Lagoon, or opt to venture into the mouth of the dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano and descend alongside expert guides to the floor of the vast magma chamber. Alternatively, visit an Icelandic horse farm and learn training techniques before heading out on a trail ride over the vast rolling hills outside of Reykjavík. Afterward, join the farmers for lunch and share stories over home-cooked Icelandic fare.

A RO UND THE WORL D BY PR IVATE JET: TH E NO RT HER N RO U T E INSTRUCTIONS Please read the following information carefully. By registering for an “Expedition” (as defined herein), the participant (“Participant”) agrees to the Responsibility Statement and OperatorParticipant Contract and Terms and Conditions below (the “Agreement”). In order to secure a reservation on the Expedition, the Participant must indicate his/her acceptance of the terms of the Agreement by signing the Knowing and Voluntary Execution of Responsibility Statement and Operator-Participant Contract and Terms and Conditions, and pay a deposit.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT National Geographic Expeditions (a division of National Geographic Partners, LLC and its subsidiary Global Adrenaline, LLC, located at 1880 Oak Avenue, Suite 100, Evanston, Illinois 60201) is the principal and is responsible for providing the Around the World by Private Jet: The Northern Route expedition as outlined in its catalog and on its website (natgeoexpeditions.com) (“Expedition”). 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 Other Providers are solely responsible and liable for providing their respective services.

The passenger tickets in use by the carriers will constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the Participant; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time the Participant is not aboard their conveyances.

National Geographic Partners, LLC, its parent, subsidiaries (including Global Adrenaline, LLC), and their respective employees, affiliates, officers, directors, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively “National Geographic”) will not be held liable for: (A) unless negligent, any damage to, or loss of, property, or injury to, or death of, persons occasioned directly or indirectly by an act or omission of any Other Provider, including but not limited to any defect in any aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle operated or provided by such Other Provider; (B) any loss or damage due to delay, cancellation, or disruption in any manner caused by the laws, regulations, acts or failures to act, demands, orders, or interpositions of any government or any subdivision or agent thereof, or by acts of God, strikes, fire, flood, war, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, sickness, quarantine, epidemics, theft, or any other cause(s) beyond their control; and (C) any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services, lost profits, consequential, exemplary, indirect or punitive damages, or otherwise which may arise out of or occur during the Participant’s travel in connection with the Expedition.

The Participant waives any claim against National Geographic for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against National Geographic for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly provided for herein.

National Geographic shall not be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket.

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, 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.

National Geographic will not be liable for any air carrier's cancellation 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.

BASIS OF RATES: All prices are based on two persons sharing a room, unless otherwise noted.

All prices and fares are quoted in U.S. dollars. The rates are based on tariffs, currency values, airfares, and third-party charges as of catalog publication date and are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. While National Geographic Expeditions will do everything possible to maintain the listed prices, if it is necessary to levy a surcharge, National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to do so and will notify the Participant at the time of final invoicing. See ITINERARY CHANGES below for surcharges resulting from Major Change.

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS: To reserve a place on the Expedition, a deposit of $5,000 per person and a signed acknowledgement of this Responsibility Statement and Operator-Participant Contract and Terms and Conditions is required. The deposit may be made by check, wire transfer, or major credit card. Payment instructions will be shared with the Participant by National Geographic Expeditions upon initial contact. Call toll-free 1-888-227-7265 or 1-312-757-5233 to make your reservation. The second payment of $20,000 per person and final payment are payable by check or wire transfer only. The second payment is due October 28, 2020. Final payment is due February 25, 2021. Payment instructions for the second and final payments will be included with each invoice. With the Participant’s authorization, if the Expedition is fully booked when a Participant’s reservation request is received, National Geographic Expeditions can collect the deposit and place the Participant’s name on a waiting list in the event other participants cancel their reservations. Even if the Participant authorizes National Geographic Expeditions to put his/her name on a waiting list and collect his/her deposit, National Geographic Expeditions will notify the Participant within seven days if the Expedition is still fully booked.

SECURITY AGREEMENT: Participant's payments are protected by a surety bond #015201478 issued by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, 175 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116 (the “Security Agreement”). Any claims against this Security Agreement must be filed with National Geographic Expeditions or Liberty Mutual Insurance Company within 60 days of the termination of the Expedition.

ITINERARY CHANGES: The Expedition itinerary and staff presented in the catalog or on the website are subject to modification and change by National Geographic Expeditions. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the Expedition as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent. In addition, 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.

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. If National Geographic Expeditions makes a pre-departure “Major Change” to a trip, you may cancel up to 24 hours before departure and receive a full refund within 14 days after cancellation. 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 delay of longer than 48 hours will always be considered a “Major Change;” (ii) a change in the origin or destination city; or (iii) a price increase of more than 10 percent occurring 10 or more days before departure. If a “Major Change”

O P E RATOR- PA RTICI PANT CONTRACT AND TER M S AN D CO N DI T I O N S 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.

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 private jet, 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. 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, 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. The air carrier for the Expedition will be Icelandair, Reykjavíkurflugvöllur, IS-101 Reykjavík, Iceland. 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 is subject to the foreign governments involved granting landing rights for the flight. 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, in the class of service that the Participant prefers. Please ask for details.

INSURANCE: National Geographic Expeditions strongly recommends trip-cancellation, health, and accident insurance, which is available at an additional cost.

HEALTH ACCOMMODATIONS: National Geographic Expeditions welcomes travelers with disabilities on all of its trips. However, not all trips may be suitable for all travelers, and certain activities may present challenges for Participants with limited mobility, stamina or endurance concerns, or other types of disabilities or special needs. 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, 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.

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.

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.
