The Lifelong Explorer program is designed to recognize and show our appreciation to our valued travelers. You've experienced what it's like to be on expedition with National Geographic—and you've come back to keep exploring with us. You'll be eligible for enrollment in the program after you complete your third National Geographic Expedition. From then on, you'll receive savings on the expedition cost on all subsequent National Geographic Expeditions, plus many more benefits. And now, any National Geographic Adventure trip you take will also count toward your eligibility in the program.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Lifelong Explorer family!

How do I qualify?

Once you've traveled on three National Geographic Expeditions and/or National Geographic Adventures, you'll qualify for enrollment in our Lifelong Explorer program. If you've already traveled with us three times and aren't yet enrolled in the program, please complete this brief enrollment form so that we can sign you up.

Or, you can become eligible by joining the National Geographic Grosvenor Council at the Geographer level. Click here to learn more about the Grosvenor Council.

From time to time, we may also make special promotional offers that include the opportunity to become a Lifelong Explorer.

How will my benefits be applied?

General terms

• Your Lifelong Explorer membership is a household membership, so anyone living at your address is eligible for the discount on his or her trip.
• The discount applies only to the expedition cost of the trip, and does not apply to the cost of extensions, optional excursions, airfare, or any other costs not included in the expedition cost.
• Special offers only available to Lifelong Explorer members cannot be combined. For example, in instances where a special discount offer on a particular trip is made available to Lifelong Explorers, the Lifelong Explorer member can choose to apply whichever discount is greater.
