The Crew - Episode 4

Inside HX Expeditions with Megan Lewis

Megan shares a closer look at the HX Expeditions experience, from exploring remote destinations and getting closer to wildlife to the experts who bring each journey to life. We also discuss what first-time expedition cruisers should expect, who this style of travel suits best and why destinations such as Antarctica, Greenland and the Arctic continue to capture the imagination of adventurous guests.

What makes HX Expeditions different?

HX Expeditions specialises in journeys to some of the world’s most remote and spectacular regions, combining small-ship exploration with a strong focus on nature, science and local knowledge. Rather than simply visiting a destination, guests are encouraged to understand it, with Expedition Teams, lectures, landings and activities helping bring each voyage to life.

For anyone considering their first HX Expeditions cruise, the episode offers a useful introduction to how expedition cruising differs from a more traditional holiday at sea and what to expect once onboard.

HX Expeditions - MS Spitsbergen in Greenland

Exploring the world’s wildest destinations

From Antarctica and Greenland to Svalbard, Alaska and the Norwegian coast, HX Expeditions focuses on destinations where the landscape and wildlife are the main attraction. Flexible itineraries, expert-led activities and small-boat landings can take guests well beyond conventional ports, with each day shaped by local conditions and opportunities.

That makes expedition cruising particularly appealing for guests who want their holiday to feel more immersive, active and connected to the places they visit.
