Since 1896, HX has taken the world’s curious travelers beyond the ordinary—on mindful expeditions to some of the most remote and remarkable places on Earth. As pioneers in expedition cruising, we combine exploration, comfort, and sustainability aboard our purpose-built ships. From Antarctica and the Galápagos to Greenland and the High Arctic, every voyage is designed to ignite curiosity, connection, and care for the planet. Guests return home not only with stories of adventure, but with a renewed sense of wonder—and a deeper understanding of our fragile, resilient world.

HX Expeditions

For more than a century, HX has redefined what it means to explore. Our expeditions invite travelers to see the world differently—immersing themselves in wild landscapes, connecting with local communities, and discovering the science, history, and wildlife that shape each destination. Whether journeying through icy fjords or walking alongside experts in the Galápagos, every HX voyage inspires learning, reflection, and transformation.

Join us—and change the way you see the world.
