HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions) is going all-inclusive, with a new product offering launching this October.

The expedition cruise line, which rebranded to HX in December 2023, will be introducing the new offering as part of a phased approach, starting with Antarctica & Galapagos expeditions departing in October 2024 before it as standard across the whole fleet from November 2024, covering all destinations.

The all-inclusive offering ranges from including expert-led daily expeditions, access to a whole series of science-led activities both on board and out in the wild, to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and even professional photographs. These changes are part of a larger project aimed at enhancing the onboard experience and, more importantly, simplifying the product offering for trade. 

For guests booking an HX expedition, starting with Antarctica & Galapagos expeditions departing in October 2024, their regular grade cabin will now include the following:

• Daily expeditions and activities such as 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 Wi-Fi
• Gratuities
• HX’s interactive science program, Science Centre, and activities both on and off the ships
• Access to the sauna, hot tubs, fitness room and more
• Professional photos from the onboard photographer
• Opportunities to engage with and support local communities and environmental initiatives through Hurtigruten Foundation
• Take home expedition gear and reusable water bottle
