HX Hurtigruten Expeditions

Love this from our CCO Alex Delamere-White, who visited his daughter’s primary school to give an inspirational talk about what HX does. A great example of how HX continues to focus on science, sustainability and education – especially for the next generation!

We’re delighted to launch the first-ever Greenland cruises with roundtrip flights from New York. Departing on June 21, 2025 - Greenland’s National Day, marked by the summer solstice - these itineraries feature dedicated flight allocations on United Airlines’ direct routes to Nuuk. Crafted with Greenlandic communities, they are the only expedition cruise itineraries designed and managed by Greenlanders, providing authentic access to Greenland’s west coast aboard the hybrid-powered MS Fridtjof Nansen.  “Greenland is on the cusp of transformation,” said Laali Berthelsen, Local Product Manager for HX Expeditions and Nuuk resident. “With the opening of our new international airport and direct flights, Greenland is more accessible than ever. As interest grows, we have a responsibility to ensure tourism uplifts our communities and respects our environment.” Learn more here: https://ow.ly/lIwz50ULEIG
