Winter is coming—but that means adventure is on the horizon. Since 1896, HX have been taking curious travellers to the most remote, inspiring, and unique places in the world, and their winter expeditions offer the perfect once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the planet like never before.

Grand Greenland - 11th June 2025

Venture into the heart of Greenland with HX’s 'Grand Greenland' expedition, where the icy giants of Disko Bay await. This 13-day voyage aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen takes you along Greenland's wild western coast to experience the eternal daylight of the Midnight Sun, sailing through deep fjords, and alongside huge glaciers, including seeing the impressive Ilulissat Icefjord with your own eyes.

This sailing also immerses you in local cultures and communities, where you can learn about the rich history and culture of Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland. One highlight is a visit to Sisimiut, which lies 25 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Here, you will find remains that date back over 4,000 years and can learn about the ancient Saqqaq culture that live here. This expedition not only offers breathtaking natural beauty but also invites you to participate in citizen science projects and attend fascinating lectures on topics ranging from glaciology to Greenlandic mythology.

22/11/2024

US Rockies - This magnificent mountain chain stretches 4800km from British Columbia in Canada to New Mexico – more than twice the distance as from Helsinki to Rome. You won’t have time to visit all the Rockies in the USA alone, which are in north-central Colorado state; it’s best to focus on the Rocky Mountain National Park itself, and on Estes Park in the Front Range, which is the gateway to the Rockies.

The national park is one vast outdoor playground, with 60 mountains of more than 3500m in altitude, shimmering glacier lakes, more than 500km of trails, and spectacular wildlife viewing. In winter it’s a true wonderland, with cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and snowboarding. Best time to visit is November-April.

Explore the distinctive charm of Mie, Japan

Within the Kansai region of Japan’s main island Honshu, Mie Prefecture is a vast protected area and includes 1,000km of Pacific coastline. This place offers both one-of-a-kind experiences and lots of scope for a luxury holiday, with some high-end places to stay and exclusive activities to try your hand at.

You’ll want to start off in Ise, the original spiritual hometown of Japan. Home to the Shinto Ise Shrine, one of the oldest and holiest sites in Japan, which is dedicated to the solar goddess Amaterasu, you’ll find it inside Ise-Shima National Park, a marine wilderness best known for its pearl diving and fishing. The sea here is also rich in seafood, including Ise-ebi lobster, abalone, and Anori puffer fish.

Shima’s Ama are female free divers who use traditional methods to collect pearls but also harvest shellfish and seaweed. You can try on traditional diving outfits, learn about their ancient customs, watch a traditional dance, and eat fresh seafood with some of them, as well as watching them dive and perhaps even joining them on a dive if you feel up to it.

In Ise-shima National Park is Yokoyama View Point, offering views of Ago Bay. You can cycle in the park and there are several observatories to visit, including Mount Asama, Toba, and Tomoyama, which are perfect for appreciating the clear night skies in this part of the world.

Enjoy a Fisherman’s After-Hours Tour, an exclusive adventure designed for those eager to delve into the heart of Japan’s rich fishing culture. As the sun sets over the serene coastline, join local fishermen as they share their time-honoured traditions and techniques, passed down through generations.

Another area of Mie to add to your itinerary is Higashi-kishu, which encompasses the Kumano Kodo, a UNESCO World Heritage site and pilgrimage route in the Kii Peninsula mountain range. Here, on the Kumano River, you can take a trip in a traditional three-sail wooden boat called a sandanbo, enjoying the sounds of the birdlife as the boatmen share stories about the river's history.

17/11/2024

Expedition cruising is the best way to discover Alaska, with its estimated 100,000 glaciers. You’ll get to see many of them, perhaps including the iconic Hubbard Glacier, together with other natural wonders, including breathtaking fjords and fascinating wildlife such as humpback whales, dolphins, and sea otters.

Depending on who you cruise with, you might go crabbing in the Bering Sea, helicopter flightseeing, and glacier trekking. Other attractions during this time of year include visiting the lively historic gold-mining towns Juneau and Skagway and the Native American fishing village of Ketchikan. And the wild landscapes of the Katmai National Park and Preserve are packed with salmon and brown bears.

14/11/2024

Nestled between the stunning Pacific Ocean and majestic mountains, Vancouver is a city that promises both urban charm and outdoor thrills. Known globally for its liveability, Vancouver offers a mild climate, eclectic neighbourhoods, and a vibrant arts scene. Picture wandering through independent boutiques, exploring bustling farmers’ markets, or dining in world-class restaurants. It’s one of those places that is charming in all seasons, so I’ve picked out some of my favourite luxury experiences for whenever you choose to visit.

▶Winter - book a box at Rogers Arena to watch the Canucks
▶Spring – book a hotel suite overlooking Stanley Park’s cherry blossoms
▶Summer – soar over the city on a private floatplane tour
▶Autumn – head into the forest to see the salmon run

13/11/2024

Get ready for a journey through history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes! Start your adventure in Istanbul, where vibrant markets and stunning architecture await. Next, head to Cappadocia to explore its unique rock formations and magical hot air balloon rides. Don’t miss the mesmerizing Pamukkale, famous for its white travertine terraces, before unwinding in the beautiful coastal town of Bodrum.

Ready to experience the magic of Turkey? Let’s craft your perfect itinerary!

12/11/2024

Stupendous fjords and mountains, the Northern Lights in the far north, vast unspoilt swathes of national park, rugged wilderness, breathtaking waterfalls, and pretty islands – Norway is quite simply dazzling. And it’s all the more so in winter when you can enjoy skiing (cross-country and alpine) and snowboarding amidst those glittering landscapes.

Bergen is a great base for exploring the fjords or going up into the mountains for skiing and hiking. Take the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen, and you can sledge back down on floodlit paths. For the Northern Lights, head for Tromsø or the Finnmark region ('Norwegian Lapland’), where you can also get an insight into local indigenous Sami people and take a snowmobile safari.

11/11/2024

Discover tranquillity at Devasom Khao Lak Beach Resort & Villas, where golden sands meet a serene freshwater lagoon. Nestled amid lush gardens, this luxurious boutique resort blends historical elegance with modern comfort to ensure the most restful and relaxing getaway.

This is one of our top recommendations for some winter sun, with sublime snorkelling and diving spots plus the famously scenic Phi Phi Islands close by. Devasom Khao Lak is perfect for experiencing life on Thailand’s two coastlines and 1400-plus jungle-swathed islands, which together form a vast outdoor playground for guests.

Winter is coming—but that means adventure is on the horizon. Since 1896, HX have been taking curious travellers to the most remote, inspiring, and unique places in the world, and their winter expeditions offer the perfect once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the planet like never before.

Highlights of Antarctica - 30th October 2025

Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of Antarctica, where colossal glaciers and floating icebergs create a dreamlike landscape outside your window. HX’s 'Highlights of Antarctica' expedition is an immersive 12-day adventure aboard the MS Nansen, with an overnight stay in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires before setting sail.
You’ll spend five days exploring the must-see sights of Antarctica, which includes spotting local wildlife such as seals lounging on ice floes, penguin colonies waddling across the snow, and majestic whales breaching the icy waters around you. Alongside the Expedition Team, you’ll get close to towering icebergs and join onboard lectures to deepen your understanding of this pristine environment and how we can all protect it.

Red, brown, grey, black, and white – lemurs come in many different colours and species. Some jump, some dance, some cry, so you are guaranteed an entertaining watch when you see them in the wild. All are endemic to Madagascar, and we have various lodges sited near national parks, although a 5-star standard can be harder to find here. As an alternative, take to a private island – Miavana has a resident population of crowned lemur (relocated there for their protection), while Constance Tsarabanjina offers visits to nearby Nosy Komba, known as the lemur island.

It’s now easier than ever to twin-centre with one of their renowned Seychelles resorts, as Emirates has launched an extension of its existing route to the archipelago, taking you onwards to Madagascar. The flight, via the airline’s Dubai hub, runs four times a week from September.

I recently met with Swan Hellenic and I was so impressed. Expedition cruising is firmly on my bucket list and it should be on yours too. Expedition cruising allows you to explore some of the world’s most remote and inaccessible corners, coming face to face with phenomenal natural wonders that most people will only ever see on a screen. You can experience some of the planet’s most scientifically or culturally significant destinations without sacrificing comfort or service. The limited number of guests on board allows the ship to get closer to nature without causing harm to the fragile ecosystems that we operate in. The small numbers also promote camaraderie amongst guests, with many new lifelong friendships blossoming whilst discussing the day’s action over an evening drink. If you are keen to start exploring expedition cruising, please send me a DM and we can discuss which ship would be best for you. #travelinspiration #travelinspo #cruise #cruising #expeditioncruising #cruiselife #swanhellenic #swanhellenicexpeditioncruises #expeditioncruise #arctic
