HX Expeditions
HX Expeditions (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions) has been taking travellers to some of the world’s most remote destinations for more than 125 years. Aboard a fleet of purpose-built expedition ships, you’ll explore remarkable regions such as Antarctica, Svalbard and the Galápagos Islands, alongside lesser-visited destinations including the British Isles and the Atlantic Islands.
Every HX voyage combines authentic exploration with the expertise of an experienced expedition team, creating immersive experiences that go far beyond traditional cruising. Carrying between 90 and 530 guests, the fleet is equipped with expedition essentials including Zodiacs, kayaks and some of the most advanced Science Centres at sea, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the destinations you visit. Back on board, comfortable accommodation, welcoming public spaces, and thoughtfully prepared dining provide the perfect balance after a rewarding day of exploration.
The Cruise Line is one of HX Expeditions’ longest-standing UK partners, giving our clients access to exclusive fares, time-limited offers and HX cruise deals not always available elsewhere. From reduced fares and complimentary suite upgrades to low deposits on selected sailings, we’ll ensure you receive the best available value while guiding you through the booking process with the benefit of genuine first-hand experience aboard the ships.
