Explore breathtaking Greenland by sea

Greenland is one of the world’s most enigmatic places, its natural beauty, fascinating culture and impressive wildlife has not been experienced by many, and it’s the mystery of this place that draws curious and intrepid travellers. It’s an opportunity to see one of the planet’s wildest, most remote regions in ways few can. You'll walk where glaciers carve the landscape, witness wildlife that thrives against the odds, and connect with a culture deeply in tune with the Arctic.

Explore breathtaking Greenland by sea

And what better way to experience its wonders than aboard a HX Hurtigruten expedition? Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or someone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a Greenland cruise is made for curious travellers.

Untouched natural beauty

Picture towering icebergs, stunning flowing waterfalls, and vast breathtaking glaciers. Explore the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which showcases the raw power of Greenland’s nature. Here, massive icebergs break away from one of the fastest-moving glaciers on the planet, creating a scene so magnificent it feels otherworldly.

But Greenland’s magic isn’t confined to its waters. On land, you’ll find stark mountains, blooming tundra plant life, and Arctic deserts that stretch beyond the horizon. Whether hiking through pristine landscapes or kayaking tranquil fjords, you're constantly immersed in nature as few get to experience it.

An abundance of wildlife

Greenland’s wildlife is as captivating as its scenery. This stunning wilderness hosts everything from polar bears and musk oxen to seals and whales. Sixteen species of whales, including the iconic narwhal, roam its waters. And the skies? They teem with life. Birdwatchers can spot Northern Fulmars, Snowy Owls, and even White-tailed Eagles soaring majestically with wingspans up to 2.5 meters. On an HX expedition, encounters with the wild are not just possible; they’re expected.

Cultural encounters

Greenland isn’t just a natural wonderland; its people and culture are equally captivating. Small, colourful towns dot the landscape, with Nuuk, the capital, offering both history and charm. A HX expedition gives you direct access to local tour guides, giving you a peek into their daily lives.

A highlight of the HX expedition is the opportunity to connect with Greenland’s close-knit Inuit communities. Through meaningful interactions – perhaps an invitation to a kaffemik (a coffee gathering in someone’s home) – you’ll hear stories passed down through generations, see traditional attire, and taste local delicacies. It’s a chance to understand a culture intrinsically connected to the land.

Responsible expedition

HX is deeply committed to protecting the environment and supporting local communities. Their hybrid-powered ships, which eliminate the use of heavy fuels, coupled with a strict no single-use plastics policy, reflect their dedication to responsible practices.

Beyond their environmental stewardship, the HX Foundation makes a tangible difference in Greenland. By engaging with remote communities—often isolated for most of the year—the foundation has helped Greenlandic children discover educational opportunities they might never have imagined. This holistic approach to responsible travel and community support makes HX more than a travel provider; they are a force for positive change in the Arctic and beyond.
