With a HX Expeditions cruise, you can go further and deeper into a world of wonder. Their luxury expedition cruises offer unique, all-inclusive adventure itineraries to some of the world’s most remote locations.

Serving as experts in expedition since 1896, HX itineraries are known for taking curious travellers to all four points of the compass in style. With your ship acting as a luxury base camp fit with plush rooms, fine dining and wellness amenities, you're free to explore remote locations in the Arctic, South America, Antarctica and beyond.

HX's itineraries are seasonal and will often vary by year, with a focus on expedition-style experiences rather than traditional cruise ports. The fleet of six custom-built ships allows HX Expeditions to venture deeper into remote regions while still prioritising sustainability, comfort, and scientific enrichment.

Some of HX's most popular itineraries include visits to:

• Polar Regions like Antarctica & The Arctic
• South American natural wonders like the Galapagos Islands, Patagonia and the Amazon River

• Iceland & Greenland's volcanic landscapes
• The British Isles & Northern Europe
• Transoceanic voyages following in the footsteps of famous explorers on the Atlantic

HX Expeditions blends high-comfort expedition cruising with authentic exploration, making it ideal for discerning travellers who want to explore remote destinations without compromising on style and service.

Think five-star dining while floating past fjords, massages against the backdrop of the Galapagos Islands and sipping complimentary tea on your private balcony under the Northern Lights.

HX Expeditions are underpinned by science. Not only does this promote environmental awareness and sustainability, but it means everyone on board is encouraged to discover more about the wildlife, culture and flora of each destination.

Each voyage includes expert-led lectures, immersive shore landings, and wildlife viewing, creating a rich intellectual and cultural experience for curious minds. Some of the science and enrichment facilities that set HX Expeditions apart from other cruises include:

• Onboard Science Centre: Interactive space for lectures & guest speakers, microscope viewing, and citizen science projects.
• Expedition Team Hub: Daily briefings, nature talks, and shore excursion previews.
• Onboard Library stocked with books on wildlife, geography, and exploration.
• Zodiac boat excursions for landings in remote areas.
• Kayaks, snowshoes, and hiking gear to get up close and personal with the action.
• Photography and birdwatching gear are often available for loan.

HX Expeditions' purpose-built ships allow you to get closer to off-the-beaten-path locations that are otherwise inaccessible by mainstream cruise lines. Add in Zodiac boat shore excursions with the highly-trained expedition team, and you will be living and breathing the very best of each destination.

Imagine cruising past glacial shelves in Antarctica, witnessing giant tortoises and iguanas in the Galápagos Islands, kayaking through ice floes in Greenland and hiking along rugged fjords in Alaska. When they say adventure is part of each journey, they mean it.

HX Expeditions offers a refined, relaxed onboard experience that balances adventure with comfort. In short, they are ideal for anyone who appreciates exploration without sacrificing luxury, wellness, or service.

With fewer passengers than traditional cruise lines, guests can enjoy a more intimate, uncrowded atmosphere. Besides being purpose-built to reach remote destinations, HX Expeditions ships feature a calm, elegant, Scandinavian-style design, large windows, spacious seating areas, private balconies and accessible cabins for guests with mobility needs.

Newer ships also boast all outside cabins, meaning every guest gets a view - an essential when cruising past some of the world's most scenic locations.

Travelling with accessibility needs? HX Expeditions has you covered with elevator access to all decks, stabilisers and hybrid propulsion for a smoother sailing experience and 24/7 medical staff on board for peace of mind.

Just because you're out in the wilderness doesn't mean you'll be living off freeze-dried beans and rice. Quite the opposite, actually. HX Expeditions uses a range of locally sourced ingredients to serve regionally inspired meals in elegant dining spaces.

There are three restaurants onboard each ship, highlighting a mix of regional cuisine and Nordic culinary principles. The menus themselves will rotate to reflect each destination - think fresh Arctic char in Greenland and Patagonian lamb in Chile.

Keen to wash down your adventure with a tipple or two? Head to the Panoramic Explorer Lounge, where you can sip drinks while watching icebergs, wildlife and even the Northern Lights through floor-to-ceiling windows.

A high crew-to-guest ratio and Scandinavian hospitality mean you can expect attentive, unobtrusive service that reflects Norwegian values. Efficient and thoughtful, you'll feel looked after without being fussed over.

Everyone from the waitstaff to housekeeping, wellness staff and expedition team is there to give you the best holiday possible. In fact, the down-to-earth nature of everyone on board means many guests form genuine connections with staff and fellow travellers.

One of HX's biggest assets is its handpicked expedition team, often comprised of science experts such as marine biologists, geologists, photographers, and historians.

After a long day hiking, kayaking, discovering and exploring, there's no better way to unwind than with a massage in the wellness centre or soak in a bubbling hot tub up on the observation deck.

You don't have to worry about missing out on the action, either. In fact, you can relax with a side of epic views in the likes of panoramic lounges, outdoor hot tubs, and saunas with floor-to-ceiling views. A true treat amidst the very best mother nature has to offer.

Expedition cruising attracts a community of well-travelled individuals who value meaningful conversations, lifelong learning, and cultural depth. Whether you’re travelling with loved ones or are keen to explore alone, trust that you can enjoy meaningful conversations with people who share your love of nature.
