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, marketer and operator of domestic and
international small ship adventure cruises.  Contrary to INTRAV, Clipper's
programs are primarily marketed through U.S. tour operators and retail travel
agents.  A small part of its programs are marketed through sponsoring
"affinity groups,".  Similar to INTRAV, Clipper's programs appeal to
higher-income, well educated travelers desiring first class travel
experiences with educational substance.  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 August 1, 1997, the Company declared a dividend of $0.125 per share, for
shareholders of record on August 29, 1997, to be paid on September 15, 1997.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

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 June 30, 1997, the Company had purchased 237,400 shares.

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 June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $7.4 million, or 45.1%, from $16.5 million in 1996 to $23.9 million
in 1997.  This increase was due to 569 additional travelers, representing a
13.5% decrease, from 4,208 travelers in 1996 to 4,777 travelers in 1997. The
increase in travelers was primarily attributable to the scheduled operation
of more second quarter tour departures of European cruise programs in 1997
compared to 1996. The average revenue per traveler also increased $1,088, of
27.8%, from $3,916 in 1996 to $5,004 in 1997, resulting from the operation of
the Circle Pacific South program which sold for $30,800 per traveler, and
increased per traveler revenue from the Clipper Cruise Line operation.

Program revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $3.2 million, of 6.7%, from $47.9 million in 1996 to $51.1 million
in 1997.  This increase was due to the $533 increase in average revenue per
traveler, from $3,865 in 1996 to $4,398 in 1997.  This increase was partially
offset by 770 fewer travelers, representing a 6.2% decrease, from 12,385 in
1996 to 11,615 in 1997, due to the reduced level of travelers participating
on the Trans Panama Canal program which operated in the first quarter of 1997
compared to 1996.

COST OF OPERATIONS

Cost of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $5.8 million, or 43.9%, from $13.1 million in 1996 to $18.9 million
in 1997.  This increase reflects the increased level of program costs
resulting from additional travelers. The average cost per traveler increased
$835 per traveler, from $3,120 in 1996 to $3,955 in 1997, primarily due to
the operation of the Circle Pacific South program.  Cost of operations
decreased as a percentage of program revenues from 79.7% in 1996 to 79.0% in
1997. operating in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996.

                                    6
<PAGE> 7

Cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $2.4 million, or 6.3%, from $38.5 million in 1996 to $40.9 million
in 1997.  The increase reflects the operation of higher priced programs,
including the Circle Pacific South program, and is partially offset by the
decrease in travelers.  The average cost per traveler increased $415, from
$3,108 in 1996 to $3,523 in 1997.  Cost of operations decreased as a
percentage of revenues from 80.4% in 1996 to 80.1% in 1997.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $1.7 million, or 49.6%, from $3.3 million in 1996 to $5.0 million
in 1997, as a result of increased program revenues and lower relative
operating costs in 1997. Gross profit increased as a percentage of program
revenues from 20.3% in 1996 to 21.0% in 1997.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
increased $0.8 million, or 8.4%, from $9.4 million in 1996 to $10.2 million
in 1997, as a result of increased program revenues and lower relative direct
operating costs in 1997.  Gross profit as a percentage of program revenues
increased from 19.6% in 1996 to 19.9% in 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1997 compared to 1996, decreased $0.3 million, or 8.0%, from $4.0 million
in 1996 to $3.7 million in 1997. This decrease was primarily due to lower
incentive compensation and credit card transaction fees. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of program revenues from
24.1% in 1996 to 15.3% in 1997 due to the reduced level of expenses and the
increase in program revenues.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1997 compared to 1996, decreased $0.5 million, or 5.9%, from $7.9 million
in 1996 to $7.4 million in 1997.  Selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of program revenues from 16.4% in 1996 to
14.5% in 1997.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization, primarily relating to the cruise ships and
internally developed software, for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to 1996, decreased $110,000, or 24.6%, from $448,000 in 1996 to
$338,000 in 1997.  Depreciation and amortization decreased as a percentage of
program revenues from 2.7% in 1996 to 1.4% in 1997.

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to 1996, decreased $253,000, or 28.3%, from $895,000 in 1996 to $642,000 in
1997.  This decrease was primarily due to the reduced depreciation resulting
from the extension of the anticipated useful lives of the Clipper Cruise Line
ships.  Depreciation and amortization decreased as a percentage of program
revenues from 1.9% in 1996 to 1.3% in 1997.

                                    7

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
decreased $147,000 from $395,000 in 1996 to $248,000 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 second quarter decreased from $29.5
million in 1996 to $16.3 million in 1997.

Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1996,
decreased $334,000, from $784,000 in 1996 to $450,000 in 1997, due to the
reduced level of investable cash and marketable securities referred to above.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense, consisting of amounts paid for draws made on the Company's
$10.0 million revolving credit facility, totaled $21,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997.  The 1996 amount totaled $494,000, 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.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $85,000.
During the second quarter, the Company paid off all outstanding draws on the
revolving credit facility.  The 1996 amount totaled $978,000 on the
borrowings referred to above.

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 operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, was $16.8 million and $11.0 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 $44.4
million of deferred revenue at June 30, 1997, approximately $28.4 million, or
64.0%, relates to tour departures which will be completed by September 30,
1997.

The Company paid cash dividends of $1,281,000 and purchased 64,000 shares of
its common stock from the open market during the six months ended June 30,
1997.
