Celebrate 130 years of adventure with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions

For more than a century, HX has been at the forefront of expedition cruising, with its irresistible combination of small-ship intimacy, unparalleled expertise, immersive experiences and a commitment to mindful travel. Now, ahead of its big 130th birthday in 2026, it’s a good time to be reminded of how HX sets itself apart from the rest in three meaningful ways.

1. Adventure is all-inclusive

Whether it’s icy Antarctica or the wildlife-filled Galápagos Islands, HX puts the destination front and centre on every expedition. Each day, your clients will have included expeditions and activities that are designed to fully immerse them in the destination they’re visiting. Additionally, guests will receive an HX expedition jacket and water bottle to use during their adventure that is theirs to take home, while all meals and drinks are included too, whether they fancy a cocktail before dinner or hot chocolate to warm up after being ashore. Perhaps the most priceless inclusions are the digital album and video clients will receive from their dedicated expedition photographer once they’re back home.

    2. Education and expertise

Of course, an expedition with HX isn’t just a surface-level exploration. The onboard Expedition Teams are made up of handpicked experts who are engaging storytellers, expert scientists, sustainability champions and wildlife ambassadors. It all contributes to HX’s abundant passion for the natural world. HX’s Science & Education programme puts learning at the heart of every expedition. Guests even get the chance to contribute their own research with Citizen Science projects.

    3. The onboard experience

HX also knows that to ensure its guests feel ready for every experience, they need time to recharge. Supremely comfortable cabins and an informal dress code help guests to relax. Clients can elevate their experience further in a suite, where a private balcony, daily turn-down service and meals in fine-dining restaurant Lindstrøm are among the benefits. Speaking of food, the cuisine is influenced by the destination clients are cruising through – just one of the many ways nature has inspired HX adventures for nearly 130 years.
