HX Hurtigruten Expeditions to Offer All Inclusive Across Its Fleet

HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions) has announced plans to further improve its onboard guest services. With a phased approach, starting from Antarctica & Galapagos expeditions departing in October 2024, an ‘all-inclusive’ provision will be available as standard across the entire fleet from November 2024, encompassing all destinations.

Following the rebranding to HX last December, the change is designed to enhance the onboard guest experience and provide the ultimate expedition cruise.

Guests who book an HX expedition, starting with Antarctica & Galapagos expeditions departing in October 2024, will now receive the following as standard with their cabin grade:

• 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 & soft drinks
• Free Wi-Fi
• Gratuities
• Our interactive science programme, Science Centre and activities both on and off the ships
• Access to 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

Alex Delamere-White, HX Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “We want our guests to fully embrace being curious travellers when they’re with us. By making things as easy as possible, they can focus on exploring remote parts of the world and learning from our expert team. We believe adventure should be all-inclusive, which is why our daily expeditions, talks and access to the science centre come at no extra cost, alongside delicious food and drink.”
