Since 1896, HX has been taking curious travelers on mindful expeditions to the world's most remote and awe-inspiring destinations. Today, we're the world's first and longest-running expedition cruise company – and #1 for expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic.

Our purpose-built, hybrid-powered ships and expertly curated itineraries offer the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and sustainability. With 130 years of expertise, we take guests to Alaska, Antarctica, the Galápagos, Greenland, Svalbard, the Northwest Passage, and beyond.

These expeditions are designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing – they want to understand the science, history, wildlife, and culture of the places we visit. From kayaking among icebergs to joining a traditional Greenlandic kaffemik, our guests don't just observe – they're part of the story.

With our all-inclusive model, onboard Science & Education Program, and commitment to sustainability, guests return home with more than memories – they return with a deeper connection to our beautiful, fragile planet.

Change the way you see the world.
