Together, these offers form part of HX’s 130th anniversary celebrations, bringing more than 130 years of exploration heritage together with science, innovation and responsible travel.
New fleet enhancements designed around the guest experience
Personalised pre-departure journey
HX Expeditions has introduced a new personalised pre-departure experience to help guests feel informed and prepared before they step on board.
Tailored to each guest’s specific booking, sailing and cabin, the experience brings key voyage information together in one place, making it easier to prepare for the expedition ahead.
Guests receive a personalised email featuring a bespoke PDF with key voyage information, alongside a dedicated digital landing page offering an interactive overview of their expedition and voyage details.
Together, these tools provide guests with a more seamless and personalised experience before departure, helping them know what to expect and make the most of their time on board and ashore.
New HX app enhances the onboard journey
Now rolled out across MS Fridtjof Nansen, MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fram and MS Spitsbergen, the new HX app provides guests with access to essential travel information, real-time expedition updates and a range of onboard services throughout their journey.
Designed to enhance convenience, the app allows travellers to make restaurant reservations, browse and book excursions, access daily programmes and stay informed with the latest expedition announcements and itinerary updates.
By bringing key information and services together in one intuitive platform, the app offers greater flexibility and personalisation, while complementing the service and destination expertise delivered by HX’s Expedition Teams both on board and ashore.
Grab & Go offers flexible dining around the clock
HX has introduced a new 24/7 Grab & Go station on MS Fridtjof Nansen, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Spitsbergen, making it easier for guests to pick up something fresh and nutritious whenever they need it during their expedition.
Designed around the flexible rhythm of expedition travel, the station is available around the clock for guests heading out early for an excursion, returning from a day of exploration or looking for a quick bite between activities.
The offering includes breakfast and dairy bowls, gourmet sandwiches, savoury cups, brownie bites, mini muffins and energy bites, with everything served in sustainable, reusable tempered glass containers.
The concept gives guests greater freedom to eat when it suits them, without having to fit around traditional mealtimes, while maintaining the quality and freshness expected throughout the HX experience.
