Smithsonian tours and seminars are set up in a variety of ways. Some include air fare from the U.S.; others offer travelers the option of making their own flight arrangements. Cruises permit participants to select cabin locations, which affects the final price. Some tours and seminars provide most or all meals, while others provide only certain designated meals.
