What Makes HX Expedition Cruises Unique?
Since 1893, Hurtigruten (now HX) has been sailing the Norwegian coast. Today, HX takes travelers to some of the world’s most remote and beautiful places. Their newest ship, the MS Fridtjof Nansen, is named after a famous explorer who led groundbreaking Arctic journeys.
Onboard, you’ll find:
- Scandinavian design with cozy lounges and restaurants
- A Science Center with microscopes, maps, and hands-on tools
- Daily expeditions led by scientists and expert guides
- A welcoming home-away-from-home atmosphere
Our HX Expedition Cruise Experience
We joined an HX Expedition Cruise starting in Vancouver aboard the MS Fridtjof Nansen. From the moment we stepped on, the ship felt warm and welcoming. The design is clean and simple, inspired by Scandinavian style.
The highlight was the Science Center, filled with microscopes, maps, and tools that made learning fun. Each day, we joined scientists and guides on small Zodiac boats to explore the Gulf and Saturna Islands. After each trip, the experts explained what we saw—whether it was ocean life, animals, or even water experiments.
What made it special was how the trip mixed adventure and learning. It wasn’t just about seeing new places—it was about understanding them. That’s what makes an HX Expedition Cruise so unique, and it’s an experience you can have too.
