The HX Hurtigruten Expeditions Fleet
HX Hurtigruten Expeditions’ ships have been designed to give you the very best expedition experience, allowing you to delve into exploration and discovery and enjoy the premium relaxation and wellness options onboard. All eight ships have been named after legends of the Golden Age of polar exploration - and it’s no coincidence! HX Hurtigruten Expeditions traces its roots back to great polar heroes and has pioneered some of the most spectacular expeditions in human history.
Onboard Experience
Accommodation
Accommodation options vary depending on which ship you choose. On MS Santa Cruz II, you have the choice of an Explorer Cabin or a Darwin Suite. Explorer Cabins boast comfortable spaces and large picture windows that illuminate the space and allow guests to take in the views. Darwin Suites feature double-picture windows and offer super comfort and deluxe amenities.
On the other ships in the fleet, you’ll have a wider range of cabin categories to choose from. Polar Inside cabins feature flexible sleeping arrangements with a double bed that can be divided into two single beds. You’ll also enjoy a television, an amenity kit, a kettle and tea and coffee. Polar Outside cabins boast all the same amenities but are a little larger in size. Relaxation and comfort are the hallmarks of the Arctic Superior cabins. Most of them feature flexible sleeping arrangements with a double bed that can be divided into two single beds. The Expedition Suites are HX Hurtigruten Expeditions' most exquisite cabins. They feature double beds, some with extra sofabeds, a seating and a television, as well as a bathrobe, espresso maker and a welcome gift.
Entertainment

The menu here is inspired by street food, so you’ll find everything from Mexican to American cuisine. Restaurant Lindstrøm is a speciality restaurant named after Adolf Lindstrøm.
