OUR TEAMS WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to ensure you have unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s manning the spotting scopes all night to ensure a polar bear sighting, orchestrating a landing at an extraordinary wildlife site to coincide with a magnificent sunrise, or sending waiters out with gourmet ice cream bars to refresh you as you explore a Polynesian atoll, their commitment creates thrilling moments for you.

WE GO WHERE AWESOME IS, to the most amazing places on the planet—40+ geographies in all. And we’ve planted our flag in many of them, really committed ourselves to remote wild places—like South Georgia and the Falklands; Patagonia, where we opened up Staten Island, ‘the island at the end of the world,’ for eco-tourism; and now Polynesia, including the Marquesas Islands where few go.

We have a CULTURE OF DISCOVERY. It’s in our DNA. We’ve been at this for 50 years. The collaboration between our masterful captains and experienced expedition leaders creates unprecedented opportunities for our guests.

We see ourselves as something far more than a travel company, or even an expedition travel company. We are a conduit—to exhilaration. To the feeling you get when you see something wild and unexpected, or rare and beautiful. A feeling that once you’ve had it, makes you want to have it again, and again.

Epic Antarctica: From the Peninsula to the Ross Sea & Beyond: 34 days from South America to New Zealand

An extraordinary new voyage starring the big ice of remote West Antarctica, where few humans have set foot; the impressive ice shelf of the Ross Sea region; and the sub-Antarctic islands of New Zealand and Australia, World Heritage sites and home to thousands of seals and millions of penguins, including huge colonies of king penguins and the endemic royal penguin. This is where wildness and wildlife at its finest meets iconic human history, following in the footsteps of Scott, Ross, Amundsen and Shackleton. Perhaps only a few thousand people have ever made this voyage—so being among the 126 who’ll make it in 2020 aboard National Geographic Endurance, the ultimate polar expedition ship, is a rare opportunity.

Northeast Passage: An Unforgettable Voyage from Norway to Alaska:25 days from Norway to Alaska

Explore remote and thrilling Siberian shores and far northern archipelagos—including Franz Josef Land, New Siberian Islands and Wrangel Island—little changed since the days of Nordenskjold, Amundsen and intrepid explorers of the last century. National Geographic Endurance roams free at the top of the world on the most untrammeled, adventurous route in the High Arctic on this epic voyage.

A Remarkable Journey to Alaska, British Columbia & Haida Gwaii:15 days from West Coast of Canada to Alaska

Experience abundant wildlife and glacial ice in Alaska’s Inside Passage, plus the rainforest coast and wildlife-rich channels of British Columbia; and enjoy the privilege of visiting Haida Gwaii. Learn about the art, culture and fascinating history of the Haida people, and search for endemic species in Haida Gwaii, considered the ‘Canadian Galápagos.’ We are the first com-pany with ships carrying more than 22 guests granted permission to visit Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site in over two decades. It is a privilege, and a highly rewarding cultural opportunity.
