HX Expeditions launches its 2027/28 season travel collection, marking a new chapter in its approach to exploring the planet and continuing its mission to redefine what truly meaningful exploration means. Rather than expanding its portfolio of destinations, HX is delving deeper into its existing routes, offering more immersive, authentic, and community-led experiences in some of the world's most remote and extraordinary locations.
From Antarctica to Greenland, via the Canadian Arctic, Iceland, Patagonia, and the Outer Hebrides, HX is transforming the future of conscious travel, prioritizing quality and depth in every destination it visits. Guests will not only be able to explore these breathtaking landscapes on multi-day itineraries but also participate in richer, more purposeful local experiences than ever before.
“At HX, our strategy has always been to create lasting connections with the places and people we visit,” said Gebhard Rainer, CEO of HX Expeditions. “For the 27/28 season, it’s not about adding new points on the map, but about going deeper: the ultimate expression of mindful, slow travel. Whether exploring Greenland’s pristine wilderness alongside local chefs or participating in experiences designed with Inuit elders in the Canadian Arctic, our goal is to offer travelers a new way of seeing the world.”
- HX continues its work in the Canadian Arctic, part of its popular Northwest Passage itinerary, where this year it has introduced new excursions co-designed with Inuit elders and local residents. These community-led experiences offer travelers an authentic connection to Indigenous culture, traditions, and knowledge in a respectful and deeply enriching way. Guests will discover the Arctic through the eyes of those who have inhabited it for generations, learning about sustainable practices and the region's unique way of life.
- HX continues to be a leader in Antarctic exploration, having launched the industry's most comprehensive and innovative kayaking and camping program in 2025. Expanding its capacity to allow more travelers to experience the majesty of the white continent firsthand, HX offers the unique opportunity to kayak among ice floes and camp under the southern stars. This program reinforces HX's legacy as a pioneer in offering the widest variety of adventure activities in Antarctica, solidifying its position as a leader in polar travel.
- In 2027, HX will take its Greenland itineraries to a new level, offering an even deeper immersion in local culture and cuisine. Following the success of its collaboration with Greenlandic chefs in the 2025/26 season, the new season will expand upon this offering, allowing guests to savor traditional dishes prepared by local cooks while learning about the country's history, traditions, and daily life. This deeper, more authentic approach reaffirms HX's commitment to genuine and transformative travel.
Along with the new season, HX is also introducing an evolution of its HX Explorers loyalty program, which now incorporates a points system with four levels of recognition: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, designed to reward the most passionate travelers. Members can accumulate points for every night at sea, onboard activities, and even select at-home experiences. The more they travel, the higher they climb in the ranks, and the greater the rewards: exclusive benefits and enhanced recognition on every voyage.
The revamped program, under the motto "For those that go further", offers new ways to accumulate points both on board and from home, with automatic level assignment for current members.
The 2027/28 season represents the next evolution of conscious travel, where guests not only explore but actively participate in the destinations they visit. Through collaboration with local communities and by amplifying Indigenous voices, HX offers travelers the opportunity to go beyond traditional tourism: to experience meaningful, respectful, and transformative journeys.
“Mindful travel is at the heart of everything we do,” Rainer added. “We want our guests to return not just with memories, but with a deeper understanding of the places and people they’ve encountered. This season is about creating connections, broadening perspectives, and paying homage to the cultures and environments we explore.”
HX Expeditions has always been at the forefront of exploration and adventure, but the 2027/28 season marks a deliberate shift toward deeper experiences. Rather than simply expanding destinations, HX focuses on the essence of each place, ensuring that every journey is more personal, more connected to local communities, and more enriching than ever before. Guests can explore Alaska, Svalbard, the Northwest Passage, Norway, Iceland, and Patagonia, with extended stays and a wider variety of activities designed to offer deeper, more meaningful exploration.
