#Travelling with HX

From making history as the first Chief Scientist across any cruise liner, to pioneering and growing the Science & Education programme into what it is today. Verena has crafted an iconic legacy - and she's not finished yet.

Our Expedition Team members come from all over the world and from all walks of life. You’ll find each of them to be a walking treasure trove of fascinating facts and charming stories. There’s a wonderful mix of youth and maturity, unique interests, and colourful backgrounds.

At HX we believe exploring the world opens our minds and inspires us in so many ways. But we also think the privilege of exploring comes with responsibility.

Travelling solo doesn’t mean going it alone. Whether you’re seeking space to reflect or moments to connect, every expedition with HX offers the freedom to explore in your own way — with the comfort of knowing you’re in expert hands.

Planning a trip to the Antarctic continent and wondering what to bring? You're not alone. That's why we compiled a list of all the necessary things to bring to the last inhabited continent on Earth.

We’ve created a recommended packing list to make preparing for your expedition that little bit easier. If you should forget something, don’t worry. On board our ships, you’ll find a shop with a wide range of clothes and practical items. What’s more, you’ll receive a complimentary wind- and water-resistant expedition jacket and be loaned boots, trekking poles, and all equipment for activities.
