From the ice-sculpted landscapes of Antarctica to the remote fjords of Greenland and the wildlife-rich shores of Alaska, every voyage is designed to inspire curiosity and meaningful discovery.

With over 130 years of expedition heritage, HX blends pioneering spirit with modern innovation – creating journeys that are as enriching as they are unforgettable.

 

Why Travel with HX

Expeditions Since 1896

HX is rooted in one of the world’s longest expedition legacies. Inspired by legendary explorers like Amundsen and Nansen, these voyages continue a tradition of pushing boundaries, not just where you go, but how you experience it.

Designed for Discovery

HX ships are purpose-built for exploration. Smaller and more agile than traditional cruise vessels, they can access remote coastlines, hidden fjords, and untouched landing sites, bringing you closer to the heart of each destination.

Expect the Unexpected

No two expeditions are ever the same. Routes remain flexible, allowing the crew to adapt to weather, wildlife sightings, and sea conditions, ensuring every journey feels dynamic, authentic, and truly immersive.

Expert-Led Exploration

Every voyage is guided by a dedicated Expedition Team: scientists, naturalists, historians, and cultural experts, who bring each destination to life through lectures, guided landings, and hands-on experiences.

Explore Responsibly

Sustainability is central to the HX philosophy. From hybrid-powered ships to strict environmental protocols and conservation partnerships, every journey is designed to protect the fragile ecosystems you explore.

Your Expedition, All Included

With HX, your focus stays on exploration, not the details. Their all-inclusive approach ensures a seamless, enriching experience from start to finish:

  • Daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner with globally inspired cuisine
  • House beverages including wine, beer, and selected spirits
  • Guided landings, small-boat cruises, and expedition activities
  • Expert-led lectures, workshops, and Citizen Science programmes
  • Complimentary expedition jacket and use of essential gear
  • Wi-Fi, gratuities, and access to onboard wellness facilities
  • Professional photo logbook capturing your journey

Every element is designed to remove barriers so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience.
