Crossing the Drake Passage is a defining part of any Antarctica expedition with HX. This stretch of ocean connects South America to the Antarctic Peninsula and has been sailed by explorers for centuries. For many travelers, making this crossing is an adventure in itself and a chance to follow a historic route toward the Seventh Continent. The Drake is known for lively conditions created by the meeting of powerful oceans and shifting temperatures. There is no specific time of year when it is guaranteed to be calm, which is part of what makes the experience memorable. Modern expedition ships are designed to handle these waters with advanced stabilisation, forecasting and navigation technology, making the journey both safe and comfortable. As you travel south, the crossing becomes a moment to settle into the rhythm of the voyage. Guests spend time on deck watching seabirds glide above the waves, attending briefings with the HX Expedition Team and preparing for the landings ahead. It is the transition point between continents, the place where anticipation builds and the reality of Antarctica begins to take shape.

Svalbard is an Arctic wilderness of glaciers, sharp mountain ridges and sweeping fjords, sitting just a few hundred miles from the North Pole. An HX Svalbard expedition offers several routes and itineraries that explore different parts of this remote archipelago, each revealing its own mix of landscapes, wildlife and seasonal character. Each season brings something distinct. Summer introduces migratory wildlife and bursts of Arctic colour across the tundra. Autumn softens the light as the Midnight Sun fades, and winter transforms the region into a high‑Arctic environment. With spring comes the return of the sun and increased chances to encounter Polar Bears, walruses, seals, Arctic Foxes and reindeer. These seasonal changes help shape the Svalbard itineraries and the experiences they offer. Exploring Svalbard with HX means encountering wildlife adapted to the Arctic. Arctic Foxes and Svalbard Reindeer are commonly seen across the islands, and Polar Bears can sometimes be spotted from the ship as they move across the ice. Travelling through Svalbard combines time on the ship with Zodiac outings, guided walks ashore and, on some routes, kayaking. Whether watching wildlife along the ice edge, stepping onto remote beaches or navigating quiet fjords, each journey highlights a different aspect of the archipelago and helps you understand which expedition best matches your interests across the Arctic.
