This month, HX Expeditions brought MS Fridtjof Nansen to Seattle — home to the brand's U.S. headquarters — for its first-ever travel advisor ship inspection on the West Coast.

More than 200 advisors and partners gathered for the event, which was designed as an opportunity for attendees to personally experience HX’s unique blend of adventure, sustainability and comfort. 

While onboard MS Fridtjof Nansen, which is HX’s flagship hybrid-powered vessel, participants joined immersive sessions led by the expedition team and learned how HX guests explore the world’s most remote places via small boats, kayaking, hiking and more.

Onboard scientists also demonstrated how guests contribute more than 30,000 observations each year to global citizen science initiatives, and advisors toured the ship’s fitness center, spa, infinity pool, suites with private balconies and restaurants.
