Our Signature Land Expeditions are premium, fully planned itineraries that provide an enriching, in-depth look at the history, culture, and natural heritage of a destination. Each is accompanied by a National Geographic Expert who offers insights on the places we explore through fascinating presentations and informal discussions.

  • A seasoned Expedition Leader who curates a personalized, seamless journey, as well as knowledgeable local guides who join us along the way
  • Special access to museums, sites, events, and experts in the field—including our own grantees, whose programs we visit whenever we can
  • A group of usually 25 or fewer travelers
  • High-end (or best available) hotels with many amenities, chosen for their exceptional quality, location, and character
  • Gratuities are included for all staff except the Expedition Leader. Most meals are also included, and the restaurants we select primarily feature high-quality local cuisine
