Each journey with HX is fully all-inclusive, designed to make exploration effortless and enriching. Fares cover everything guests need for an authentic expedition experience: daily landings and immersive excursions, expert-led lectures and onboard science programmes, plus all meals, drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and more.

Whether kayaking through icy fjords, hiking Arctic tundra, or joining a zodiac landing on a remote shoreline, HX guests experience the wild corners of the world up close - with the support of a passionate expedition team. Science sits at the heart of every voyage too. Travellers can take part in citizen science projects, meet onboard researchers, and learn how HX continues to support global research. In 2024 alone, the company hosted over 1,900 free cabin nights for scientists working at sea.

130 Years of Pioneering Exploration

As HX prepares to celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2026, the line is planning a series of exclusive onboard experiences to mark the milestone. Every guest sailing that year will enjoy special celebratory touches including:

  • 130th Anniversary Cocktail – a signature drink created especially for the occasion

  • Specialty Dining Nights honouring HX’s culinary heritage

  • Surprise & Delight moments sprinkled throughout the voyage

  • A limited-edition Ocean Bottle collectible

  • A commemorative 130-year badge for each traveller

One of the most exciting additions is The 1896 Cabin aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen – a lovingly recreated 19th-century explorer’s cabin available as a one-night add-on (€450). The experience features period furnishings and historical details, with half of all proceeds donated to the HX Foundation, supporting environmental and educational initiatives.
