Celebrate 130 years of expedition heritage with the exclusive 1896 Cabin Experience aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen. Designed to recreate the atmosphere of HX’s earliest voyages, this one-night stay blends historical inspiration with contemporary comfort to offer a truly memorable experience at sea.
From warm wood interiors and vintage-inspired décor to specially curated anniversary details, every element has been thoughtfully designed to transport guests back to the pioneering age of exploration. Throughout your stay, you’ll discover nods to the explorers who first journeyed north with HX in 1896, while still enjoying the modern amenities of one of our most advanced expedition ships.
The 1896 Cabin Experience is available exclusively on selected 2026 sailings departing from 25 April 2026 and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. As availability is extremely limited, bookings must be made by phone or arranged onboard during your voyage.
As part of HX’s 130th anniversary celebrations, 50% of profits from the experience will support the HX Foundation and its global conservation and community projects.
