HX, soon to be formerly known as Hurtigruten Expeditions, announced the cruise line’s 2025-2026 season, introducing new ports, landings, and itineraries.

The 2025-2026 season will showcase over 80 itineraries across five continents, building on HX’s reputation for creating new travel experiences in key expedition regions, including Alaska, Antarctica, Greenland and the Northwest Passage.

HX will also further establish its footprint in warm waters following its inaugural season in West Africa, launching this month, and the successful introduction of three new Galápagos Islands itineraries in 2023.

“With 130 years of heritage in expedition cruising, we have more experience to draw on than any other operator,” HX Chief Commercial Officer Alex Delamere-White said.

“Our continued investment in the regions and experiences we know best has created a firm foundation,” Delamere-White continued. “This heritage, combined with our product teams’ dedication to fostering connections with the people and places we visit, will lead to our strongest season yet.”

In September, Hurtigruten Expeditions revealed it would rebrand to usher in a new era of sustainability and adventure travel under a new identity, HX. The expedition cruise line will be rebranding beginning in December 2023 with a new name and logo across all its channels and media.

Hurtigruten Norway, which dates back to 1893, will also change its name to just Hurtigruten. Livery repainting on its ships will also be implemented within the next 18 months to reflect the change.
