Hurtigruten/HX Expeditions Unveils Inaugural Greenland Cruises Departing from New York City

HX Expeditions, formerly known as Hurtigruten Expeditions, has announced the launch of its first-ever Greenland voyages, a major milestone for North Atlantic expedition cruising. The new cruises will include roundtrip flights from New York City and onboard experiences aboard the hybrid-powered ship, MS Fridtjof Nansen.

These trips are designed to immerse passengers in Greenland’s breathtaking natural landscapes, featuring glaciers, fjords, and diverse wildlife. Travelers can participate in activities like hiking, kayaking, and cultural excursions that showcase the rich heritage of the indigenous Inuit communities.

This initiative aligns with a growing movement in the cruise industry that prioritizes sustainable travel. HX Expeditions is committed to minimizing its ecological impact while delivering enriching and responsible travel experiences.

With the expedition cruise sector on the rise, the introduction of Greenland voyages stands out as an appealing option for adventure travelers. The convenience of direct flights from New York, along with unique itineraries, is set to draw diverse passengers eager to explore one of the planet’s most remote locations.

Upcoming expeditions include:

• Icy Giants of Disko Bay (June 21, 2025): A 12-day journey exploring Disko Bay’s icebergs and the midnight sun, starting at USD 13,823.
