INTRAV, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Intrav, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading designer, organizer, marketer and
operator of deluxe, escorted, international travel programs.  The Company's
programs are designed to appeal to higher income individuals desiring
first-class travel experiences.  The Company markets substantially all of its
programs via direct mail through sponsoring "affinity groups", or directly to
the ultimate traveler.

On December 31, 1996, INTRAV acquired all the outstanding common stock of
Clipper Cruise Line from Windsor, Inc., a company controlled by Barney A.
Ebsworth, INTRAV's Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder.  Due to
the common ownership and control of Mr. Ebsworth over both INTRAV and
Clipper, the acquisition was accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests method and, accordingly, all financial data has been
restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Clipper for all
periods presented.

Clipper is a leading designer, organizer, marketer and operator of deluxe,
escorted, domestic and international travel cruises.  Similar to INTRAV, its
programs are designed to appeal to higher-income individuals desiring
first-class travel experiences and are primarily marketed through sponsoring
"affinity groups," or directly to the ultimate traveler.  Clipper's travelers
cruise primarily on its two cruise ships, the M/V Yorktown Clipper and the
M/V Nantucket Clipper.

The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations.  However, in the opinion of management of the Company, the
financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial information for
such periods.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated March 28, 1997,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On May 1, 1997, the Company declared a dividend of $0.125 per share, for
shareholders of record on May 30, 1997, to be paid on June 16, 1997

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM/STOCK OPTION GRANT

In January 1996, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Program
whereby the Company intends to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock
over an unspecified period of time as market conditions allow. Such
repurchased shares may be used to fund the Company's stock option plan.  As
of March 31, 1997, the Company had purchased 173,400 shares.  On March 19,
1997, the Company granted options to purchase 200,000 shares to the Company's

President and Chief Executive Officer.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

The Company recognizes the revenues and related costs of operations upon the
completion of each tour departure.  The actual results reflect the timing of
the completion of such tour departures.  Because of the timing of recognition
of revenues and related costs, quarterly comparisons from year-to-year may
not be indicative of the Company's level of business activity for the
compared quarters or be indicative for the results of operations for the
year.

The Company's business tends to be seasonal, with higher activity generally
occurring in the summer, early fall, and winter months.

Program revenues include revenues from the sale of base travel programs, as
well as optional products and services, including sightseeing, program
extensions, domestic airfare, and medical and educational seminars.

Cost of operations include the costs of airfare, ship, hotel and other
accommodations and services included in the base programs and optional
products and services.  Also included are the costs of creating and
distributing promotional materials and promotional expenses for each program.

PROGRAM REVENUES

Program revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 1996,
decreased $4.2 million or 13.4%, from $31.4 million in 1996 to $27.2 million
in 1997.  This decrease was due to 1,339 fewer travelers, representing a
16.4% decrease, from 8,177 travelers in 1996 to 6,838 travelers in 1997. The
decrease in travelers was primarily attributable to the reduced number of
travelers participating on the Trans Panama Canal program in 1997 compared to
1996. This decrease was partially offset by a $134 increase in the average
revenue per traveler, or 3.5%, from $3,840 in 1996 to $3,974 in 1997.

COST OF OPERATIONS

Cost of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
1996, decreased $3.4 million or 13.4%, from $25.4 million in 1996 to $22.0
million in 1997.  This decrease reflects the decreased level of program costs
resulting from fewer travelers. The average cost per traveler increased $118
per traveler, from $3,103 in 1996 to $3,221 in 1997. Costs of operations
increased as a percentage of program revenues from 80.8% in 1996 to 81.0% in
1997 due to reduced program revenues and a constant level of  promotional
expenses associated with the programs operating in the first quarter of 1997
compared to 1996.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 1996,
decreased $0.8 million or 14.5%, from $6.0 million in 1996 to $5.2 million in
1997, as a result of decreased revenues and higher relative costs of
operations in 1997. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues from
19.2% in 1996 to 19.0% in 1997, primarily due to the reduced level of program
revenues and a constant level of promotional expenses associated with the
programs operating in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996.

SELLING GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSESs

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1997 compared to 1996, decreased $0.2 million, or 3.7%, from $3.9 million
in 1996 to $3.7 million in 1997. This decrease was primarily due to lower
credit card transaction fees and office operating expenses. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from 12.4%
in 1996 to 13.8% in 1997 due to the decrease in program revenues.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization, primarily relating to the cruise ships and
internally developed software, for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to 1996, decreased $140,000, or 31.3%, from $448,000 to $304,000.
Depreciation and amortization decreased as a precentage of revenues from 1.4%
in 1996 to 1.1% in 1997.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 1996,
decreased $188,000 from $389,000 in 1996 to $201,000 in 1997. This decrease
was due to a lower level of investable cash resulting from the acquisition of
Clipper Cruise Line on December 31, 1996.  The average monthly balance of
cash and marketable securities during the first quarter decreased from $25.6
million in 1996 to $12.5 million in 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense, consisting of amounts paid for draws made on the Company's
$10.0 million revolving credit facility, totaled $64,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  The 1996 amount totaled $486,000, and represented
amounts paid on the U.S. Government Financing Bonds, relating to the cruise
ships and the outstanding loan balance owed to Windsor, Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to fund its operations, capital expenditures, dividend
payments and treasury stock purchases through cash flows generated from
operations and from retained earnings.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, was $653,000 and $(5.5) million, respectively.
The Company recognizes program revenues as income upon the completion of each
tour departure.  Deferred revenue balances consist of amounts received from
travelers for tour departures which have not been completed.  Of the $28.1
million of deferred revenue at March 31, 1997, approximately $18.9 million,
or 67.4%, relates to tour departures which will be completed by June 30,
1997. The balance of the deferred revenue, $9.2 million,  relates to deposits
and payments for tour departures which will be completed after March 31,
1997.

The Company paid cash dividends of $644,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997.
