HX, expeditions to Antarctica and beyond

At Traveland, we plan HX expedition cruises from start to finish. HX sails to Antarctica, Greenland, the Galápagos Islands, Alaska and Northern Europe, building on more than 130 years of expedition travel. We arrange the flights and hotels these journeys require, so your time goes into the experience itself. We are a family-owned travel agency in Connecticut, planning trips since 1978 as a member of the Signature Travel Network.
