Hurtigruten Expeditions becomes HX, bringing the company into a more globalised future as the world's most sustainable expedition brand. Since 1896 we have been experts in expedition, embodying the spirit of exploration, sailing in the wake of giants. 

Since 1896, we’ve been taking curious travellers on mindful expeditions to the world’s most awe-inspiring places. Today, we’re leaders in expedition cruising, taking our guests from the pristine wilderness of the Arctic, to the Galápagos Islands, or getting up close to Antarctica's penguins in our stylish, purpose-built expedition ships. Join us as we continue our journey to change the way you see the world.

Today, we’re leaders in expedition cruising, taking you to those places that lure the curious traveller. Whether it’s spotting polar bears in the pristine landscapes of the Arctic, watching marine iguanas bask on the Galápagos Islands, or getting up close to Antarctica's penguins in our stylish, purpose-built expedition ships, an HX expedition brings you closer to a world of wonder.

With onboard lectures and science centres, your expedition team will illuminate your mind with talks about history, culture, science and art, ensuring you return home with a deep understanding and love of the places you explore.

Our mission is to be the world’s most-sustainable expedition company. In 2023 we were awarded “Best ESG Ranking of a Cruise Company” by Morningstar Sustainalytics. We've led the industry by being the first to eliminate single-use plastics and heavy fuel oils, and our hybrid-powered cruise ships were a world first. 

Join us as we continue our journey to change the way you see the world.

For the discerning explorer at sea

Our fleet of expedition ships have been designed to give you the very best expedition experience, allowing you to delve into exploration and discovery, and enjoy the premium relaxation and wellness options on board.

Cleaner and greener

Hurtigruten Expedition’s ultimate goal is to operate our ships completely emissions-free. We stopped using heavy fuel oil over a decade ago. We were the first major travel company to remove single-use plastic from all our ships.

A passion for science

The Science Center lies at the core of many of our expedition ships. Featuring high-tech equipment, a library and interactive computer screens, this is where your Expedition Team share their deep knowledge of nature.

Exploration heritage

All our ships are named after legends of the Golden Age of polar exploration. This is no coincidence. Hurtigruten Expeditions traces its roots back to great polar heroes and has pioneered some of the most spectacular expeditions in human history.
