After a long hiatus, the Claremont McKenna College travel program is restarting in 2024 with a magical visit to the enchanted Galápagos Islands.

We are honored that Ron Libeskind-Hadas, the founding chair of the new Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences, and Donald McFarlane, the Kenneth S. Pitzer professor of biology and environmental science in the Keck Science Department, will be leading two explorations organized for us by Lindblad Travel on the beautiful new all-suite National Geographic Islander II.

Members of The Claremont community from around the globe will spend June 20 to 27, 2024 or June 29 to July 6, 2024 exploring the wonders of the Galápagos on a customized itinerary of education, recreation, and relaxation. It is the perfect family vacation!

Join CMC alumni and friends, as well as Professor Branwen Williams, one of the newest faculty members of the Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences, aboard the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER as we journey to Antarctica to explore the dazzling beauty of this impressive place known as The White Continent. 

The White Continent launches you into a unique world of marine wildlife, frozen landscapes, and incredible geological formations. Spot ethereal albatross and other giant pelagic birds that glide and flit around us as we sail through the legendary Drake Passage. Watch for the telltale spout of orcas and acrobatic pods of leaping dolphins off the deck. Approaching the Antarctic islands, we float into an ice desert of crystalline air and frozen seas. Staggering in its variety of forms, the visual beauty of polar ice makes every Antarctic explorer vow to return.
