To mark the launch of the documentary and HX Expeditions’ 130th anniversary in 2026, the cruise line is offering travel agents the chance to double their entries into the draw to win a place on a megafam.

Double entry applies only to bookings made during the series airtime on ITV, from February 15-March 1.

Agents who make a qualifying booking during this period will receive double entry to win a two-night expedition experience from May 5-7, sailing from Hamburg to Heligoland.

Gebhard Rainer, chief executive of HX Expeditions, said: “For 130 years it’s been HX’s mission to explore the wildest destinations of the world for our valued guests, so that they understand the importance of protecting it for future generations.

“We hope this series inspires viewers who watch Julia’s incredible journey to approach the world with curiosity and care.”
