HX Expeditions has launched its 2028-29 season, introducing 57 voyages across 14 destinations worldwide, including 26 new itineraries, two destinations new to the company and five major product innovations.
Antarctica and South Georgia
HX is introducing a new 19-day “Antarctica & South Georgia” voyage aboard the Roald Amundsen.
The season will also see HX begin Antarctic departures from Stanley aboard the Fram, becoming the first major expedition company in more than a decade to use the Falkland Islands as a gateway to Antarctica and creating a new route to South Georgia and Antarctica, increasing time spent in each destination.
Alaska
HX is introducing two new eight-day “Inside Passage” expeditions between Vancouver and Sitka, replacing previous 10- and 13-day itineraries and offering five full days in Southeast Alaska with just one sea day.
Guests can combine the northbound and southbound sailings while a new 17-day “Aleutian Islands” voyage between Vancouver and Whittier further expands the program.
Greenland
A new eight-day “Discovering West Greenland – Icebergs & Communities of Disko Bay” itinerary will sail roundtrip from Nuuk.
The season also introduces a new “11-day version of Exploring the Garden of Greenland,” giving guests more flexibility across the destination.
Scandinavia
HX is also launching its first dedicated regional program aboard the Spitsbergen.
Highlights include the new “13-day Sweden & Finland: Autumn in the Gulf of Bothnia,” available in both northbound and southbound sailings.
The program also features the 10-day “Southern Scandinavia: Between Norwegian Fjords and Swedish Isles,” and the 14-day “Norway Cape to Cape – Beyond the Arctic Circle.”
Arctic Canada
One of the season’s most ambitious additions is the new 19-day “Into the Northwest Passage – Circumnavigating Baffin Island” voyage aboard the Roald Amundsen. The itinerary includes a full circumnavigation of Baffin Island.
Svalbard
With 23 departures featuring Svalbard in 2028, HX will operate its largest-ever program in the archipelago, spanning the Midnight Sun season through to the return of the Northern Lights.
Ocean Crossings
The season also introduces nine new Ocean Crossing voyages across the Atlantic and Pacific.
The new routes span a mix of destinations, from Bermuda, Cape Verde, Salvador and Recife in the Atlantic to Golfito, Huatulco and La Paz in the Pacific.
Several voyages cross the Equator, while other new additions include a sailing to Seville via the Guadalquivir River and routes connecting key expedition regions across the Pacific.
The Galápagos Islands
HX said in a press release that it continues its year-round Galapagos program aboard the Santa Cruz II.
The season features the “In Darwin’s Footsteps” and “Nine of the Best Isles” itineraries, alongside voyage extensions adding Machu Picchu.
Full itineraries are available on the company’s website.
