HX Expeditions announces Greenland Promise amid geopolitical concerns

TORONTO — HX Expeditions has introduced a new Greenland Promise covering all 2026 sailings that include Greenland, reaffirming that travel to the destination continues to operate as normal and that its expedition operations remain fully unaffected.

The announcement follows renewed international attention on Greenland after recent threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump to acquire the Danish territory. While his remarks have generated increased media coverage and questions from travellers, HX says there has been no material impact on its Greenland program to date.

According to HX, Spring and Summer 2026 voyages are proceeding as planned. As a proactive measure to support travel advisors and guests, the company has rolled out the HX Greenland Promise for all 2026 itineraries featuring Greenland. Under the policy, in the highly unlikely event that HX is required to cancel a Greenland sailing, or if a guest’s own government issues advice against travel, guests will have the option to change their booking to another HX voyage and receive an additional 20% Future Cruise Credit applicable to the new sailing or any other HX voyage, or opt for a full refund. Full terms and conditions can be viewed here.

HX Expeditions has longstanding partnerships throughout Greenland, including close collaboration with Air Greenland and local community partners, aimed at supporting tourism growth and cultural engagement. During the 2024–25 season, HX managed what it describes as the largest tourism turnaround in Nuuk’s history, welcoming more than 1,000 guests through the city’s new international airport and setting single-day passenger records on Air Greenland flights.

The company also remains the largest expedition cruise operator in Greenland by passenger numbers, according to Air Greenland, offering a wide range of itineraries across both East and West Greenland.
