Frequently asked questions
If I join the HX Explorers loyalty programme after 1 November 2024 can I also use my membership and benefits on Hurtigruten?

Do I get a membership card when I join HX Explorers?
HX Explorers is a cardless programme, but you will receive a welcome email with your unique membership number and level shortly after signing up to the programme. You can also find your membership details in the header of each of our monthly newsletters.
How can I book an excursion with my 5% HX Explorer discount?
As a HX Explorer you receive 5% off all excursions (excludes pre or post voyage excursions). You can book pre-travel online for all new bookings or via our Contact Centre if you have an existing booking and would like to add excursions. Please note the discount may take a few days to apply to any existing bookings. You can also use this discount when you book excursions on board. Remember to quote your membership number at the time of booking to ensure your discount is applied. If booking online, the membership number is added in the last part of the reservation so you will not see a reduced price on the offer page, but it will be visible when the order is added to the shopping cart / invoice.
How do I book a voyage with my Level 2 HX Explorers discount?
When booking online add your HX Explorers number together with your personal data. The shopping basket will then be updated accordingly and any discounts will be deducted if applicable. Since the number is added at the very late stage in the booking process, the end user will not see discounted fares on the fares and availability page, but in the shopping basket/invoice.
What kind of benefits do I get as a member of HX Explorers?
Among other things, your membership comes with a range of HX - Hurtigruten Expeditions benefits including discounts and an onboard welcome gift and drink. You also get reduced prices and special offers from our selected partners.
