HX Brand Overview

Since 1896, HX has taken curious travelers on mindful expeditions to the world’s most awe-inspiring places. Today, we’re leaders in expedition cruising, taking guests to Alaska, Antarctica, the Galápagos Islands, Greenland, Iceland, the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, and more, all from the comfort of our modern, sustainable expedition ships. Our purpose-built ships and specially curated itineraries offer the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and sustainability, designed for the modern explorer.

These expeditions are designed for travelers who want to learn, explore, and understand the science, history, wildlife, and culture of the places we visit. Our guests can explore vast icescapes and marine life from an expedition boat in Antarctica, go on nature hikes to discover unique ecosystems and wildlife in the Galápagos, take part in a cultural gathering for a traditional Greenlandic ‘kaffemik,’ or join a discussion by the expert Expedition Team about the effects of climate change on remote destinations.

From cultural encounters to wildlife wonders, guests return home not only with stories of their grand adventure but also a deeper, richer love of our beautiful, fragile, and resilient planet.
