What sets HX Expeditions apart from every other cruise experience is the presence of a dedicated, world-class Expedition Team on every voyage. These are not tour guides reciting scripted commentary. They are marine biologists, glaciologists, ornithologists, historians, and photographers who live and breathe the destinations you’re exploring. They lead Zodiac landings on remote shores, deliver captivating lectures in the onboard Science Center, and join you on deck to identify wildlife as the landscape unfolds before you. Their passion is contagious, their knowledge runs deep, and everything they do is guided by a singular mission: helping you see the world through the eyes of discovery.

HX Expeditions brings Norwegian culinary tradition to life at sea, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and cultures you visit along the way. The main restaurant, Aune, serves beautifully crafted dishes rooted in fresh, sustainably sourced ingredients – with menus that shift to reflect the regions the ship is sailing through. On the hybrid-powered MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Roald Amundsen, Lindstrøm offers a more intimate fine-dining experience with curated multi-course menus. Fredheim serves relaxed, casual fare perfect for refueling between landings, while the Explorer Bar provides a warm gathering spot to share stories over craft cocktails and local spirits. Every meal aboard is an extension of the expedition itself – thoughtfully prepared and rooted in the places you visit.

Sustainability isn’t just a talking point for HX – it’s woven into how the line operates. HX was the first major cruise line to ban single-use plastics across its fleet, and their hybrid-powered expedition ships, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen, were the first expedition vessels in the world powered by battery-hybrid propulsion, capable of sailing on battery power alone through the most sensitive ecosystems on Earth. The commitment runs deeper than propulsion: HX sources food locally wherever possible, invests in community partnerships that benefit the destinations they visit, and their Green Voyages initiative invites guests to participate in beach cleanups and environmental restoration projects ashore. The onboard Science Center takes this further, enabling guests to contribute to citizen science projects that track wildlife populations, monitor glacier retreat, and collect water samples in some of the planet’s most remote ecosystems. When you sail with HX Expeditions, you’re not merely observing the natural world – you’re actively helping to protect it for generations to come.

HX Expeditions sails to some of the most breathtaking and hard-to-reach corners of the planet. Antarctica remains their crown jewel – the frozen continent where towering icebergs, penguin colonies, and pristine silence create moments you’ll carry with you forever. In the Arctic, explore Svalbard’s polar bear territory, Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, and Greenland’s colossal ice fjords. Along the legendary Norwegian coast, trace a route that has connected remote communities for over a century, weaving past dramatic fjords, the Northern Lights in winter, and the Midnight Sun in summer. Beyond the poles, HX ventures to the Galápagos Islands, the Northwest Passage, the British Isles, and beyond. Every destination is chosen for its power to inspire – and every landing is crafted to bring you as close to the wild as possible.
