Since 1896, we’ve been taking curious travelers on mindful expeditions to the world’s most awe-inspiring places. Today, we’re leaders in expedition cruising, taking our guests to the high Arctic, the Galápagos Islands, and to the penguins and seals of the Antarctic peninsula, all from the comfort of our modern expedition ships. An HX expedition cruise is the perfect choice for travelers who want something different and immersive. They want to learn, explore, and dive deep into the science, history, and culture of the places we visit. Our guests actively explore remote destinations with a hand-picked Expedition Team of experts who guide activities on board and ashore. When they return home, they have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the regional customs and cultures, the local way of life, unique wildlife, and so much more. Most importantly, they have share stories of their adventures and have a sense of the planet’s fragility, beauty, and resilience.
