The National Geographic Difference
KNOWLEDGE
LET OUR EXPERTS GUIDE YOU
You deepen your understanding of the world when you travel with National Geographic—whether you’re venturing into the Roman Forum with an archaeologist or exploring the Alps by train with an author who has researched and written about the region for years. From the scientists, photographers, and explorers who accompany our trips to the local guides and experts we meet in the field, you’ll be surrounded by people who are steeped in knowledge and insight about the places we go. And they’re passionate about sharing that knowledge with you.
Over the past 134 years, the National Geographic Society has funded scientists, storytellers, educators, and adventurers around the world who help us define some of the critical challenges of our time, drive new knowledge, advance new solutions, and inspire positive transformative change 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.

GIVE BACK
EXPLORATION HAPPENS BECAUSE OF YOU
By choosing National Geographic Expeditions, you help further the work of National Geographic’s scientists, educators, and storytellers around the world. Every year, we distribute a portion of our proceeds to the National Geographic Society, creating more opportunities to work toward a planet in balance. In northern Iceland, for example, we monitor cetaceans and industrial fishing bycatch to help protect whale populations. To learn more, visit natgeo.com/impact.
