HX has released its first independent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, a bold statement of intent following its recent separation from the Hurtigruten Group.

HX Expeditions is gearing up to celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2026, with a range of special offers, exclusive activities and memorable moments throughout the year that invite guests to be a part of this milestone occasion.

HX has unveiled a fresh new fleet livery featuring its brand colours of indigo blue and sand, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing transformation.

With the initial signs of HX’s switch to an all-inclusive model already looking promising, the expedition cruise line says it is prepared for its competitors to follow in its tracks.

Expedition cruise company HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions) has named Gebhard Rainer as its new Chief Executive Officer. Rainer is the former CEO of Sandals Resorts International, where he successfully navigated the complexities of the luxury hospitality industry while driving significant business growth.
