National Geographic Global Explorers

Watch kids develop the attitudes, skills, and knowledge of an explorer.

An exclusive, family-friendly program created in conjunction with National Geographic Education, this unique, hands-on program teaches kids and teens 18 and under how to explore the natural world like scientists.

Wildlife watching
Hop into a Zodiac, zip along the shore, and then hike in search of wildlife and strange and interesting plant life. Snap photos with your smartphone and jot notes in your official National Geographic Global Explorers Field Notebook.

Microscopic exploration
Drop a net over the side of your Zodiac to collect plankton, then check it under a video microscope to see how it looks and moves.

Video shoots
Meet your Certified Photo Instructor in the lounge and get tips on how to create impressive slow-motion and timelapse videos, then test out those new skills in the field.

The Most Exhilarating Discoveries are the Ones You Make Together

Put simply, an expedition is smart fun for all ages, and for all types of families, from tiny to clan-sized. Being aboard ship creates a fresh context for families to be together, or come together, if they’re far-flung or chronically schedule-challenged. Inherently diverse and active, an expedition offers remarkable experiences to share, with daily opportunities to do things together, or to follow separate interests—and meet at dinner to share the day’s stories. And because our expeditions attract families, the community that forms on board is uniquely welcoming. We have over 50 years of expedition experience and have learned a lot about optimizing opportunities for our guests; and we are dedicated to ensuring the quality of your family’s experience
