Information – We have launched a cross-divisional coronavirus command center with key leaders and subject matter experts so we can nimbly respond and communicate with employees about evolving CDC and WHO guidance. General updates and role-specific guidance are being provided to employees regularly.

We ask that you support healthy travel by first being vaccinated, or have a valid vaccine exemption, before setting off on your next adventure. Earthbound staff also must be vaccinated prior to travel or guiding an expedition. By working together, we will all contribute to providing an enhanced and safe travel experience for all. 

Communication – Our team are sharing what we have learned  from the CDC, WHO and from 25 years of international travel. We will be sending out updates as we get closer to your travel date.
