HX, formerly the expedition division of Hurtigruten, caters to travelers who are seeking opportunities for learning and personal growth. As a leader in exploration cruising, the company's nimble vessels and skilled crews offer nature-based experiences in places like Antarctica, the Arctic, Alaska and the Galapagos Islands. On every voyage, an expedition team leads exciting activities off the ship and gives presentations on history, geology and biology on board.
The upfront price of an HX cruise covers all meals and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) on the ship, Wi-Fi access, gratuities and guided shore excursions. Ships have a contemporary and spacious design with large panoramic windows that allow for easy viewing of incredible landscapes and awe-inspiring wildlife. An important feature of each ship is a state-of-the-art Science Center. Here guests can engage with field experts and get involved in interactive science projects.
The expedition sailings of HX were previously offered through Hurtigruten, a now separate line that specializes in Norway cruises. To see itineraries and prices for Norway cruises with Hurtigruten, click here.
