Cruise Greenland with HX

HX is launching cruises from New York to Greenland, starting June 21, 2025. The trips include flights from Newark to Nuuk and travel aboard the MS Fridtjof Nansen.

“Greenland is on the cusp of transformation,” said Laali Berthelsen, Local Product Manager for HX Expeditions and Nuuk resident. “With the opening of our new international airport and direct flights, Greenland is more accessible than ever. As interest grows, we have a responsibility to ensure tourism uplifts our communities and respects our environment.”
