From polar landscapes to remote island ecosystems, HX Expeditions combines pioneering exploration, onboard science, innovation and mindful travel to create unforgettable journeys to the edge of the world

In 1896, HX Expeditions set out on an exploration journey from its homeland in Norway. Driven by a passion to discover what lay beyond the horizon, HX Expeditions sailed in the wake of the pioneering seafarers who were redrawing the boundaries of the world.

Today, HX Expeditions is a leader in expedition cruising, taking you to the places that lure the curious traveller.
