What's the difference between Hurtigruten and HX? In this episode, Charlie chats with Amber from HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions) to explore what sets this cruise line apart in the growing world of expedition cruising. Amber explains the brand’s evolution from its Norwegian heritage to becoming its own identity, offering all-inclusive voyages focused on science, sustainability, and transformative travel. With destinations spanning over 250 locations in more than 30 countries—including Antarctica, Alaska, Iceland, Greenland, and the Galápagos—HX caters to curious, experience-driven travellers. Guests can engage with onboard scientists and educators, participate in citizen science, and explore remote regions in a deeply immersive way. Amber shares personal highlights from her own voyages to Antarctica and Iceland, describing the emotional impact and remarkable scenery. She also touches on HX’s trade support, including training resources, a Melbourne-based reservations team, and a small but passionate Australian sales and marketing crew. With hybrid-powered ships, larger vessel benefits for guest experiences, and a legacy dating back to 1896, HX aims to redefine expedition cruising. For Amber, one word sums it all up: remarkable.
