Since 1896, Hurtigruten, whose expedition cruises are now known as HX Expeditions, has taken curious travelers on mindful adventures to some of the world’s most awe-inspiring places. Today, HX Expeditions is a leader in expedition cruising, taking guests on expeditions to Alaska, Antarctica, the Galápagos Islands, Greenland, Iceland, the Northwest Passage, Arctic Canada, and more, all from the comfort of their modern, sustainable expedition ships. HX’s purpose-built ships offer the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and sustainability, designed for the modern explorer.

HX Expeditions cruises feature a group of hand-picked experts who make up their Expedition Team. The team delivers talks and lead guests on shore landings, kayaking excursions, and expedition boat adventures. The team is available to teach guests who want to learn more to use the onboard scientific equipment and guides them on projects which help ongoing global research.

An HX Expeditions cruise is a great choice for travelers who want to learn, explore, and understand the science, history, wildlife, and culture of the places they visit. Their guests can explore vast icescapes and marine life from an expedition boat in Antarctica, go on nature hikes to discover unique ecosystems and wildlife in the Galápagos, take part in a cultural gathering for a traditional Greenlandic ‘kaffemik,’ or join a discussion by the expert Expeditions Team about the effects of climate change on remote destinations.

From cultural encounters to wildlife wonders, guests return home not only with stories of their grand adventure but also a deeper, richer love of our beautiful, fragile, and resilient planet.
