Change the way you see the World with HX’s New 2028/2029 Expeditions
16/09/2026
There are places that still feel beyond the map. Where ice stretches beyond the horizon, wildlife vastly outnumbers people, and the next great discovery could be waiting just beyond the bow. HX has spent more than 130 years exploring these places. Now, its newest 2028/2029 expeditions are making them even more accessible to adventurous travellers.
What is HX Expeditions new launch?
The new HX 2028/2029 expedition collection is exploration with purpose. Created not only to show you the world, but to change the way you see it. Going on sale from 15 September, the latest voyages venture deeper into some of the world's most extraordinary wildernesses, while introducing new routes, new ways to reach remote destinations, and new experiences that bring travellers closer to the people, wildlife, and landscapes that make them extraordinary.
And while some destinations may be changing, their philosophy remains the same: go further, look closer, and leave with a deeper connection to the world.

For more than 130 years, HX has been taking curious travellers to the farthest corners of the planet. The newest collection simply asks one question: Where will you go next?
Antarctica, Amplified
Few places inspire the imagination quite like Antarctica. But the new 18-night South Georgia & Antarctica expedition aboard Roald Amundsen goes further still.
South Georgia is one of the world's great wildlife spectacles, where vast colonies of penguins gather along remote shores and elephant seals haul themselves onto beaches beneath snow-covered mountains. Further south, Antarctica reveals its grander side: towering icebergs, endless white horizons, and the extraordinary silence of the White Continent.
Together, they create an epic deep-south expedition that feels less like ticking off a destination and more like entering another world.
Greenland, Made Easier to Reach
For somewhere this remote, Greenland is about to become remarkably accessible.
HX is introducing direct flights from London to Nuuk, creating a seamless new way to reach its Greenland expeditions. Depending on flight times, guests may even have the chance to experience a glimpse of Nuuk before boarding an all new 7-night Greenland expedition. And with international flights included in the displayed London prices, reaching the Arctic becomes simpler from the very beginning.
Then there is Disko Bay. Here, the Greenland experience becomes wilder still, with new 7-night voyages venturing into a region famed for colossal icebergs, raw Arctic landscapes, and the otherworldly beauty of Greenland's western coast.
Alaska: Bigger, Bolder, Wilder
Alaska has always been a place of scale. Now HX is giving travellers even more ways to experience it.
New 7-night Northbound and Southbound Alaska expeditions can be combined to create a brand-new 14-night adventure, with turnarounds in Vancouver and the exciting new port of Sitka. But some of the most fascinating new experiences happen on land. HX is developing pioneering partnerships with Native communities, offering guests the rare opportunity to land on Native-owned territory and experience cultural encounters rooted in the communities themselves.
For those who want to push further, new expeditions venture into the Aleutian Islands, sailing between Vancouver and Whittier through one of the world's most remote and dramatic island chains. This is Alaska without the edges softened.
The Ultimate Polar Challenge
Further north, HX is taking on one of expedition travel's most legendary routes with a new Northwest Passage and Baffin Island Circumnavigation.
Few journeys carry quite the same sense of pioneering adventure. This is a landscape of immense Arctic wilderness, remote communities, shifting sea ice and wildlife adapted to one of the planet's most extreme environments.
It is the kind of journey that doesn't simply give you stories to tell.
It gives you stories you will struggle to believe yourself.
New Horizons Across Europe
Yes, that’s right. The new HX collection doesn't stop at the polar regions.
In Scandinavia, HX is expanding its expedition offering with new voyages around Spitsbergen, including Gulf of Bothnia expeditions between Kiel and Stockholm, Southern Norway journeys between Kiel and Bergen, and a spectacular voyage from Kiel to Tromsø following the iconic Cape to Cape route. In Iceland and the Faroe Islands, existing itineraries have been reimagined with a stronger expedition focus, alongside new experiences, and the return of much-loved repositioning voyages. And further south, a new 18-night journey from Cape Verde and Sal to Hamburg introduces a host of exciting ports, including Seville, where your ship navigates the River Guadalquivir directly into the heart of the city.
New worlds. New routes. More ways to go further.
Perhaps one of the most exciting things about the new HX collection is the sheer variety of ways to explore.
For solo travellers, new Ocean Crossings launch with no solo supplements, making it easier to experience the thrill of expedition travel without paying extra simply for travelling alone. For first-time explorers, shorter 7-night Greenland voyages offer an enticing introduction to the Arctic. And for seasoned adventurers, there are longer, more ambitious journeys into Antarctica, the Aleutians and the Northwest Passage.
Because expedition travel isn't about following the crowd. It's about following your curiosity.
