Since 1896, HX has specialized in taking curious travelers on thoughtful adventures to some of our planet's most extraordinary destinations. From the High Arctic to the Galápagos and Antarctica, their all-inclusive expeditions place science, history, wildlife, and culture at the core of the experience.

What sets HX apart is their commitment to creating immersive journeys that allow travelers to encounter otherworldly landscapes and rare wildlife while gaining deeper appreciation for our beautiful, fragile planet. Their purpose-built ships strike the perfect balance between adventure, comfort, and sustainability—ideal for today's conscious explorer.

The new Greenland expeditions represent a significant breakthrough in Arctic travel accessibility. For the first time ever, travelers can enjoy roundtrip journeys from Newark to Greenland, with four unique itineraries utilizing dedicated flight allocations on United Airlines' direct summer routes to Nuuk.

This game-changing approach reduces travel time dramatically—the four-hour flight saves travelers an entire day of travel compared to traditional routing options.

What truly distinguishes these expeditions is their deep connection to local communities. Developed in collaboration with Greenlandic partners, these are the only expedition cruise itineraries designed and managed by Greenlanders themselves—ensuring travelers experience authentic access to Greenland's spectacular west coast.

This community-centered approach reflects HX's commitment to responsible tourism that benefits local populations while preserving cultural integrity and environmental sustainability.

While Greenland represents an exciting new frontier, HX also offers exceptional experiences in the legendary Galápagos Islands through their connection with Metropolitan Touring, one of South America's leading travel companies and part of the HX family.

With over 50 years of experience exploring the Galápagos (since 1969), Metropolitan Touring brings unmatched expertise to this extraordinary destination. Through this partnership, travelers can choose from various itineraries—ranging from 7 to 14 days—with hotel and land packages designed to deliver the ultimate Galápagos experience.

Whether you're drawn to the emerging destination of Greenland or the classic wonder of the Galápagos, HX offers thoughtfully designed expeditions that combine adventure, cultural immersion, and comfort.
