Travellers short on time can now explore Greenland on an 8-day expedition

For clients who are short on time but dream of experiencing the magic of the world’s largest island, HX has launched a one-week sailing itinerary exploring Greenland’s west coast. Passengers can expect to discover open-water fjords, giant icebergs and colourful coastal villages – with HX’s connection to local communities allowing travellers to experience the island’s unique and authentic culture in a responsible way. Direct flights between London and Nuuk are included in the price.

Your clients can experience the best of Alaska's wilderness on an HX sailing 

HX has also introduced a shorter Alaska itinerary, giving customers the opportunity to discover the spectacular southeast corner of this vast US state on an eight-day voyage. Immersing travellers in the best of Alaska’s wilderness, the itinerary can be sailed northbound or southbound – or combined into a longer adventure for those with more time to explore. Along the way, guests will visit remote communities rarely experienced by travellers, including Kupreanof Island, Metlakatla and Katlian Bay, offering a more authentic insight into the people, culture and landscapes of this region.

Antarctica and South Georgia

Sailing onboard the hybrid-powered MS Roald Amundsen, a new 19-day sailing gives your clients the chance to experience South Georgia and Antarctica without calling on the Falkland Islands. From colonies of king penguins and seals lounging on ice sheets to thrilling whale sightings, travellers are likely to encounter some of the world’s most extraordinary, resilient wildlife on this journey to the most remote continent on Earth. 

Scandinavia

Experience the magic of autumn with new HX sailings in Scandinavia

For the first time, HX is heading to the Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia with expeditions that uncover the wonders of Scandinavia during autumn. Guests can explore Sweden’s west coast, where small communities, Laplandic forests and wild skerries await. Alternatively, they can sail along Norway’s coast from cape to cape, discovering the country’s historic ports, fishing villages and epic fjords. These sailings are a great choice for those clients seeking a lesser-known Scandinavian adventure. 

Ocean crossings

HX has launched new Atlantic and Pacific passages

Not your typical expedition cruise, HX’s new Atlantic and Pacific passages have been curated for relaxing days at sea alongside more leisurely adventures. As the ship sails between destinations, guests can attend lectures, dine well and – most importantly – switch off and enjoy the luxury of not having to be anywhere. Despite emphasis on the journey, its ports of call are no-less exciting, with stops in Bermuda, Cape Verde, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica and more. Top tip – these sailings are also set to be a hit with solo explorers, launching with no single supplement on a limited number of cabins.
