Signature Moments – Each trip features stand-out moments that bring the spirit of National Geographic to life, says G. In Cambodia, guests enter the restricted Conservation d’Angkor centre to meet specialists restoring and repatriating stolen antiquities. In Morocco, travellers meet pioneering chef Najat Kaanache to explore Fez’s ninth-century market, and explore Marrakech’s medina with an expert storyteller, featured in National Geographic for his work in the revival of the ancient Moroccan art of Hikayat storytelling.
Special access – Beyond Signature Moments, trips also feature rare or private access to locations and sites that define experiential luxury; from dining in a private villa overlooking Lake Maggiore on Isola Bella Island and before-hours canopy walkways in Costa Rica, to exclusive access to Amman’s Citadel and archaeological ruins at sunset and a private dinner in Churchill’s Cabinet War Rooms.
Access to leading experts – National Geographic Expedition Leaders and National Geographic Expedition Experts accompany each trip. Expedition Leaders lead each departure and provide travellers with a broad understanding of the destination, while Expedition Experts are leaders in their specific field, ranging from photographers, biologists and geologists to historians, filmmakers, naturalists, archaeologists, conservationists and more.
Travel that makes a difference – Every Signature trip purchase helps to support the nonprofit National Geographic Society.
Elevated immersive stays – Accommodations throughout the collection are five-star or best-in-region. Prioritizing accommodations that reflect the destination and a sense of place, the collection includes serene vineyards, safari camps, eco-lodges, mountain retreats, design-forward hotels, historic riads, beachside boutiques, retreats offering views of UNESCO World Heritage sites and more.
