HX is an expedition ship, so do not expect gourmet meals and cabin service like on the luxurious cruisers. Food is plentiful and varied, the cabin spacious and comfortable. The highlights, of course, are the zodiac rides and the landings in Antartica. The activities staff are excellent, they are knowledgeable and most helpful in guiding us especially read more during the landings. Most passengers are much younger than the usual cruisers. You have to be fit enough to participate and enjoy the activities. We were lucky with the weather, the crossing of the Drake Passage wasn't too rough. Languages used in the ship are English, German and Chinese. We saw plenty of penguins, whales and dolphins.
Perfect Antarctica trip! 1Gil and Bruce, NSW, Australia, Feb 2025
We have just returned from a Hurtigruten Antarctica trip organised by Maisie from Global Journeys. It was an exceptional travel agent experience. I usually book direct but Maisie changed my opinion with this. She was always responsive and her attention to detail is excellent. Due to her expertise I have recommended her to a couple of friends and I will read more definitely book through Global Journeys again.
I booked over a year in advance (Antarctica) and had a cancellation from the Hurtigruten end which she managed with ease. It was good to have the same person handle my booking. The trip we did had an extended time (11 days) in Antarctica including going below the Antarctic Circle which most ships do not do. It was a perfect experience of Antarctica. Thank you Global Journeys!!!!
