HX Expeditions Expands Greenland Itineraries Through 2027

HX Expeditions has expanded its portfolio of Greenland itineraries and shore-side experiences, with new and returning programs set to roll out from June through the 2027 season. The company said the updated lineup was developed in collaboration with Greenlandic community partners and is designed to deepen engagement with local culture, landscapes and culinary traditions.

Partnership-built programming across multiple seasons

According to HX Expeditions, the expanded slate spans multiple seasons and ships, combining onboard culinary events with small-group adventures on land and additional excursions on and near the water. Alongside returning programming that debuted in 2025, the company is introducing new experiences for 2026, including a ship-specific food concept and a guided, multi-day wilderness program in South Greenland.

Greenlandic culinary program returns on nine sailings

Following its debut in 2025, HX Expeditions said its Greenlandic culinary program will return across nine sailings aboard Fram, Roald Amundsen, Spitsbergen and Fridtjof Nansen. The company described the initiative as a dedicated onboard program centered on Greenlandic cuisine, ingredients and storytelling, with a rotating schedule of visiting chefs during the season.

HX said guests will be offered a four-course Greenlandic tasting menu alongside chef demonstrations and cultural context that connects dishes and ingredients to Greenland’s heritage. The company also highlighted ingredient sourcing partnerships with Greenlandic producers as part of the program’s approach.

• Four-course tasting menu and chef-led programming that HX links to Greenlandic cuisine and food traditions, supported by cooking demonstrations and cultural storytelling sessions.
• Seasonal participation by multiple Greenlandic chefs, with HX describing the schedule as rotating across sailings and designed to connect menus with regional sourcing.

HX Expeditions listed the following participating chefs for the 2026 season, with the month ranges provided by the company: Inunnguaq Hegelund (June to September), Laasi Biilmann (June to August), Eli Nuka Johansson (August to September) and Heidi Andersen (August to September).

New for 2026: Tide to Table on Fridtjof Nansen

HX Expeditions is also adding a new culinary-focused concept called Tide to Table for 2026. The company said the offering will be available only on Fridtjof Nansen sailings and is designed to follow the path of local ingredients from coastal waters to the plate, tying Greenlandic foodways to place and community practices.

Elements: Greenland Experience adds a small-group, multi-day South Greenland program

Another new addition is the Elements: Greenland Experience, which HX Expeditions described as a multi-day program in South Greenland developed with a Greenlandic operator, local guides and HX team support. Participation is limited to a small group of up to nine guests, accompanied by an HX team expert.

HX said the program combines hiking, science-based exploration and cultural storytelling, including an overnight stay at a remote base camp equipped with glamping-style amenities. The company noted the camp includes toilet and shower facilities, and that local guides will host storytelling sessions.

• A science-focused boat journey examining the region’s natural systems, paired with guided interpretation from local partners and HX support.
• A 6-kilometer hike through South Greenland terrain, followed by a shorter hike into a remote base camp for an overnight stay with shower and toilet facilities.
• A 7.5-kilometer ascent along gravel paths to a series of waterfalls, followed by a 7.5-kilometer return hike to the collection point to wrap up the experience.

Additional excursions expand options on the water and on foot

Beyond the named culinary and multi-day programs, HX Expeditions is adding more ways to explore Greenland through additional excursions, including new options developed with local partners.

• Boat cruises to the Ikka Fjords, expanding shoreline and on-the-water sightseeing options on select itineraries.
• Kayaking excursions designed as an added activity alongside core Greenland voyages.
• Guided walks led by local Inuit partners, positioned by HX as a way to explore diverse natural environments with local insight.
• New boat excursions in Disko Bay, an area the company highlighted for icebergs and marine life.
