Learn While You Explore

Enrichment is the key to rewarding exploration, which is why we are committed to providing a world-class educational program for every expedition.

World-renowned experts—such as art historians, anthropologists, naturalists, and former diplomats—accompany travelers on our expeditions, sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for the places and cultures we visit. They give relevant and engaging presentations during flights and on land, and join travelers in discussions during meals and special events. These experts come from the organizations who sponsor our expeditions, such as National Geographic, Smithsonian Institution, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Art Institute of Chicago, and many of America’s most prestigious colleges and universities.  

We also arrange for exclusive meetings with esteemed local experts whenever possible, giving travelers a rare insider’s view into incredible wonders that others wouldn’t otherwise discover.

During sightseeing excursions, a simple, comfortable, and state-of-the-art audio system keeps you in touch with our experts and local guides, while giving you the freedom to roam on your own.

During the flights on our private jet, travelers can enjoy destination-specific movies and documentaries via the jet’s multi-media system. The jet also has a library of books and other publications about the places featured in the itinerary.

Before the expedition, every traveler receives a wealth of informative materials, including books, comprehensive destination notes, recommended reading lists, and much more.
