DEAR T R AV E L E R The northern reaches of our planet hold a special place in the human imagination: otherworldly realms of towering icebergs, snowy peaks, and fathomless lakes have drawn explorers northward for centuries.

Great civilizations rise and fall amid these dramatic landscapes, where the environment—at times unforgiving— demands strategic adaptation from human and animal inhabitants alike.

We invite you to be inspired by some of the Northern Hemisphere’s most intriguing people and places, circling the globe on a remarkable expedition by private jet.

Our exploration begins in the Japanese imperial cities of Kyoto and Nara, steeped in ancient traditions of spirituality, art, and cuisine. As we venture further north, we’ll enter the vast Gobi desert and settle into a traditional ger camp to experience the customs of Mongolian nomads. In Siberia, cruise the clear waters of Lake Baikal, the oldest and deepest freshwater lake on the planet. Step into history on the streets of Irkutsk and in the lavish palaces of St. Petersburg, and observe natural marvels in Norway’s stunning fjords and the spectacular geothermal zones of Iceland. Our expedition comes to an end in the iceberg-dotted inlets of Greenland, where we’ll take in gorgeous views on a coastal walk and go flightseeing over a massive glacier.

A team of knowledgeable National Geographic experts accompanies each of our expeditions by private jet, eager to offer insights into the history, culture, and ecology of each destination. Joining us on this departure are Stephen F. Cunha, a former park ranger and renowned geography educator; Jan Nijman, a geographer and former member of National Geographic’s Committee for Research and Exploration; and awardwinning photographer and storyteller Nevada Wier.

Along the way, we’ll travel in the comfort of our VIP-configured jet, equipped with an in-flight lecture system that places the insights of our experts at your fingertips.

And everywhere we touch down, we stay in exceptional accommodations, chosen for their access to extraordinary landscapes and unparalleled attention to detail—including Three Camel Lodge in Mongolia, a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World.

We hope you will join us on this incredible journey around the world.

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 Trans-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.

The following day, travel to Listvyanka and embark on a private cruise across the glassy waters of Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world. 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.

Since its founding in 1703 by Peter the Great, St. Petersburg has held a place as one of the world’s great cities—an epicenter of imperial splendor, revolutionary fervor, and artistic innovation. Begin your exploration at 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.

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. 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. Discover treasures of Russian fine art at the State Russian Museum, or explore the world’s largest collection of Carl Fabergé works at the Fabergé Museum. Choose to tour the city’s magnificent cathedrals, including the Church of our Savior on the Spilled Blood, the gold-domed St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and the imposing Kazan Cathedral. Dine at the traditional dacha—or rural cottage—of a St. Petersburg family, or choose a curated literary- or Soviet-themed experience.

On our final day in St. Petersburg, enjoy early entrance to the State Hermitage Museum, housed in the spectacular Winter Palace. Highlights include the grand Twenty-Column Hall, the famous Venus of Tauride, and countless works by European masters. Enjoy more time to explore St. Petersburg on your own before gathering for a private ballet performance and a gala dinner in the lavish Yusupov Palace.

Our next stop is the Norwegian port city of Ålesund, spread over several small islands at the mouth of the mountainous Storfjorden. After a devastating fire in 1904, the city was almost entirely rebuilt in the art nouveau style. Visitors come from all over the world to marvel at the elaborate ornamentation, gentle curved lines, picturesque turrets, and bright colors of the buildings lining Ålesund’s canals.

The city’s proximity to the stunning landscape of Norway’s inland fjords provides numerous opportunities for adventure in the pristine backcountry.

Over two days, choose between several ways to explore the city and surrounding fjords. Pedal through Ålesund’s historic center on a bike tour, and visit the Norwegian Aquarium, offering up-close encounters with otters, penguins, and other sea life. Set out to explore by kayak, paddling from the winding canals of the city to the steep shores of the fjord, where seals play amid forests of kelp and sea eagles soar overhead. Gather on our final morning for a cruise up the Hjørundfjorden from Ålesund to Sæbø, a village nestled near the base of the soaring Skårasalen mountain. Here, we’ll enjoy lunch at a traditional Norwegian farm, complete with spectacular views.

Founded by Viking settlers in the ninth century, Reykjavík is the world’s northernmost capital. Tour the historic district, characterized by colorful timber houses and overlooked by the distinctive Hallgrímskirkja Church, visible from almost every part of the city. Meet performers for a behindthe-scenes tour at the waterfront Harpa concert hall, then enjoy a private welcome dinner.

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. Instead of the Golden Circle tour, you may choose to soak in the mineral-rich, geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon.

The next day, experience Iceland's natural wonders from a new perspective on a snowmobile ride across Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier.

Glimpse its blue heart while walking in a man-made cave through the ice.

Or venture to the mouth of the dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano and don a helmet and harness to descend alongside expert guides to the floor of the vast magma chamber. Opt to visit an Icelandic horse farm to learn training techniques before heading out on a trail ride over the vast rolling hills outside Reykjavík. Afterward, join the farmers for lunch and share stories over home-cooked Icelandic fare.

Houses painted in every color of the rainbow cluster around the base of soaring gray mountains at the mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord, a World Heritage site.

Cruise among fantastically sculpted icebergs in Disko Bay, and go flightseeing over the Jakobshavn Glacier to witness the precipitous calving front of one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world. Follow a wooden boardwalk over the heath to a viewpoint situated directly north of the glacier, offering spectacular views of the icy expanse. Explore the site where the ancient settlement of Sermermiut once stood.

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

For more information about and to enroll in an option available through Travel Insurance Services, visit the “Travel Insurance” section of National Geographic Expeditions’ website at natgeoexpeditions.com. Insurance premium payments are subject to the policies of the insurance carrier.

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” 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

A RO UND THE WORL D BY PR IVATE JET: TH E NO RT HER N RO U T E 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 such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, 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 predeparture documents, provided that National Geographic Expeditions does so for informational purposes only. The participant must verify the travel documents required for his/her travel.

National Geographic Expeditions is not liable for any damages resulting from the 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 1,131 Special Drawing Rights, approximately $1,600 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 82 VIP-style seats. The air carrier for the Expedition will be Icelandair, Reykjavikurflugvöllur, 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, Washington and from Boston, Massachusetts to his/her home city, in the class of service that the Participant prefers. Please ask for details.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: National Geographic Expeditions reasonably accommodates travelers with disabilities on all of its trips, but not all trips may be suitable for all travelers. For 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, except as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules, which are applicable only to flight legs arriving at, or departing from, a U.S. airport. Walking and climbing stairs are required in many hotels and airports to board the aircraft and for many excursions. Boarding assistance will be provided at all U.S. airports, the last foreign airport before arrival in the United States, and the first foreign airport after departure from the United States.

If the Participant requires a slower pace, extra assistance, or the use of a cane or walking stick, and cannot participate in the Expedition at a reasonable pace, arrangements will 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 may 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.

The Participant needs to obtain his/her physician’s approval to join this Expedition, and National Geographic Expeditions will send the Participant a form for his/her physician to sign. For the latest recommendations on specific health precautions for the areas visited, the Participant should consult his/her physician and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION AND COVERAGE: In the event the Participant becomes sufficiently incapacitated as to be unable to direct his or her own care, there is no one on the Expedition who can direct Participant’s care, and National Geographic Expeditions is unable or does not have time to contact the Participant’s emergency contact, the Participant, by registering and paying a deposit for an Expedition, authorizes any medical treatment deemed necessary in the event of any injury or illness while participating in the activity including, but not limited to: X-ray, examination, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis, or treatment and hospital care which is deemed advisable by, and is to be rendered under the general or specific supervision of, any physician and/or surgeon licensed in the United States, or, if in a foreign country and no physician licensed to practice in the United States is reasonably available, by a duly licensed physician deemed competent to render the necessary care. In addition, the Participant certifies that he/she has medical insurance which will cover personal accidents, medical expenses, medical evacuation, air ambulance, loss of effects, repatriation costs and all other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay, or inconvenience occurring to the Participant, or that in the absence of this medical insurance coverage, the Participant agrees to pay all costs of rescue and/or medical services as may be incurred on the Participant’s behalf.
