HX Expeditions Extends Greenland Refund-or-Rebook Promise Through 2028

October 2, 2026 — HX Expeditions has extended its “Greenland Promise” booking guarantee through the end of the 2028 season as it closes out a 31-voyage Arctic season.

Under the Greenland Promise, guests on affected Greenland voyages can move to another expedition and receive a 20% future cruise credit, or take a full refund. The conditions that trigger the guarantee were not spelled out in the report; check HX’s terms before booking.

HX also reported the results of its Arctic season: 31 sailings, 26,491 citizen-science submissions from guests across nine research programs, and a trial aboard the expedition ship Fram of thermal-imaging and machine-learning technology that detects whales near the vessel.

What it means for airline travelers

Greenland is hard to reach on standby. Flights to Greenland and to Arctic gateways such as Reykjavik (KEF) are limited and seasonal. A refund-or-rebook guarantee reduces the cruise-fare risk if a voyage is disrupted, but it does not cover your flights.
Build in buffer days. Expedition ships do not wait, and the next flight may be days away. Plan to arrive at least a day early, more if you are non-revving through a small gateway.
If you take the rebooking option, the alternative expedition may leave from a different port, so hold off on confirming flights until the new voyage is set.
