Recreation
When you’re not ashore on a shore excursion in some of the world’s most remarkable destinations, you’ll find plenty to enjoy aboard HX Hurtigruten Expeditions’ ships. First and foremost, each ship in this impressive fleet is equipped with state-of-the-art wellness facilities – including a stunning sauna and well-equipped fitness room – for you to take advantage of. You’ll also find the presentations and lectures hosted by resident teams of experts complimented by Science Centres – spaces onboard where you’ll find science equipment and further information to deepen your understanding of the region around you.
Entertainment
The entertainment available aboard HX Hurtigruten Expeditions’ ships is as unique as the itineraries and experiences on offer with each exciting voyage; you’re not going to find Broadway-style stage productions and video arcades here, but you will find plenty of places to sit back and relax with refreshments while relishing in the stunning scenery surrounding you – a calm and casual experience perfectly complimenting the action-packed shore excursions on offer.
Throughout each voyage, you’ll also find a team of resident experts delivering informative presentations and interesting lectures about the world around you – educational entertainment aimed at enriching your experience both onboard and ashore.

Family
If your little ones are ready for some big adventures, sailing with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions is a great idea. However, there are a few things worth considering if you’re looking at embarking on a HX Hurtigruten Expeditions holiday as a family with children.
HX Hurtigruten Expeditions does not provide any child care, kid’s clubs, or family orientated activities onboard. And, children under 5 are not allowed on itineraries sailing to Antarctica and South Georgia. For safety reasons, children under 12 will only be able to participate in select shore excursions.
So, while HX Hurtigruten Expeditions is happy to welcome children onboard and guests of all ages can enjoy the amenities available, there are a few things worth considering if you’re planning on travelling with younger children.
