For travelers who want more than a checklist of ports, HX Expeditions offers a fundamentally different way to explore the world. With roots dating back to 1896, HX designs expedition cruises for people who want time, context and meaningful access to the places they visit — not rushed sightseeing.


HX itineraries prioritize frequent landings, small-group exploration and expert-led experiences. Whether you’re navigating the ice-sculpted landscapes of Antarctica, tracing Alaska’s Inside Passage, exploring Greenland’s Arctic coastline or studying biodiversity in the Galápagos Islands, each voyage follows a steady, intentional rhythm that supports discovery rather than distraction.


Why Travel with HX

HX voyages are built around exploration, education and environmental responsibility. Routes are carefully structured to allow Zodiac excursions, wildlife encounters and guided hikes whenever conditions allow. Onboard programming complements each destination with science-driven insight that deepens understanding of the landscapes and ecosystems you’re experiencing.

Guests benefit from:

  • Frequent shore landings and small-boat exploration

  • Expedition teams with deep regional expertise

  • Purpose-built ships engineered for remote environments

  • A pace that allows observation, learning and connection


Science & Education at Sea

HX integrates education directly into the voyage experience. Expedition teams lead lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions focused on wildlife, climate, geology and conservation. Guests may also participate in Citizen Science projects, contributing data to global research efforts while traveling.


Dedicated Science Centers onboard provide spaces for discussion, learning and interactive discovery — reinforcing HX’s role as a leader in expedition travel.


Purpose-Built Expedition Ships

HX pioneered sustainable expedition cruising, eliminating heavy fuel oils and single-use plastics while launching battery-hybrid expedition vessels. Ships feature observation lounges, open decks optimized for wildlife viewing and interiors designed for comfort without excess — ideal for long days of exploration.
