Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On November 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of Ambassadors Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”) approved and adopted an amendment to the By-Laws of the Corporation (the “By-Laws Amendment”), effective immediately, to establish Delaware as the forum for certain stockholder actions.  The By-Laws Amendment added a new Section 6 to Article VII of the Corporation’s By-Laws, which provides that, unless the Corporation otherwise agrees and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for any derivative action brought by a stockholder on the Corporation’s behalf, and any stockholder action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty by any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, a claim arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s governing documents, or a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The By-Laws Amendment further provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of stock of the Corporation is deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions contained in the By-Laws Amendment.

The foregoing description of the By-Laws Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-Laws Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.

To add a new Section 6 to Article VII of the By-Laws of this corporation as follows:
