Starting with its Antarctica and Galápagos expeditions departing October 2024, HX will introduce an all-inclusive offering as standard across the whole fleet. HX, which recently rebranded from Hurtigruten Expeditions, seeks to combine its renowned exploring heritage with the modern-day guest experience.

All-inclusive offerings range from expert-led daily expeditions, access to a whole series of science-led activities both on board and in the wild, access to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and professional photographs.

“We want our guests to fully embrace being curious travelers when they’re with us,” said Alex Delamere-White, CCO, HX. “By making things as easy as possible, they can focus on exploring remote parts of the world and learning from our expert team. We believe adventure should be all-inclusive, which is why our daily expeditions, talks and access to the science center come at no extra cost, alongside delicious food and drink.”

For guests booking an HX expedition, regular-grade cabins will now include daily expeditions (hikes, community visits, talks and more); full board dining including breakfast, lunch and dinner with house wine and beer; wine, beer, spirits and cocktails available across the day and evening; all-day coffee, tea and soft drinks; free WiFi; gratuities; an interactive science program, Science Center and activities both on and off the ship; access to sauna, hot tubs, fitness room and more; opportunities to engage with and support local communities; and take-home expedition gear and a reusable water bottle.
