HX Expeditions is celebrating 130 years of exploration heritage this year. Its purpose-built ocean ships offer curious travelers an opportunity to learn about nature and culture in some of the world's most incredible places.

The line's all-inclusive rates cover all onboard meals and drinks (including alcoholic beverages), Wi-Fi, gratuities, guided excursions, use of expedition gear and ship lectures and activities. Right now, Vacations To Go customers can take advantage of this terrific limited-time offer:

Save up to 51% on a variety of expedition cruises. Book by February 28.

HX's small, modern ships feature spacious public areas, comfortable staterooms and a state-of-the-art Science Center where guests can engage directly with the Expedition Team.

Travelers can cross the renowned Drake Passage on a ship built to cruise polar waters and discover the vast wonderland of Antarctica, observing whales, penguins and seals as well as massive glaciers and icebergs. Or, visit the Galapagos Islands aboard the line's intimate, 90-passenger Santa Cruz II, and encounter giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions and more. In Alaska, sail through icy waters into remote fjords and protected wilderness areas that larger ships cannot access. See whales, bears, sea lions and eagles and gain insights into Alaska's geography, ecosystems and Indigenous cultures.

HX also offers itineraries to Greenland, Iceland, Arctic Canada and the Northwest Passage, promising unique experiences that go well beyond sightseeing. Each voyage is led by a dedicated Expedition Team and has daily shore landings, informative talks and professional photographers who can help guests capture extraordinary shots.

River cruise operators recognize that many guests want options for staying fit while traveling. These lines offer wellness programs and fitness amenities on board -- like gyms, spas and pools -- and provide unique and active ways to explore ashore.

Sailings with Avalon Waterways include guided active excursions, like a hike to Bratislava Castle in Slovakia or a morning run in the French town of Caudebec-en-Caux with the Avalon Adventure Host. Active & Discovery itineraries provide an even larger selection of active options in every port of call with hiking, biking, canoeing and jogging excursions.

The "Let's Go" shore excursions of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises include walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking and golfing tours. Bicycle to Claude Monet's home at Giverny or hike up to a 12th-century castle on the Rhine, for example. The line's Wellness on the Water amenities include yoga sessions, TRX suspension training classes, fitness centers and heated pools.

Emerald Cruises & Tours has the EmeraldACTIVE program, which might feature a guided bike tour along the Danube or a hike in Germany's Black Forest. Its sister company, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, has similar options, like cycling through the Dutch town of Veere or to a Bordeaux wine estate for a tasting.

As part of its program, AmaWaterways has wellness hosts fleetwide in Europe (except for ships in Portugal). They lead fitness classes like stretching, core strengthening and resistance-band training and also conduct hiking, biking and jogging excursions.

Several lines also carry bicycles on their ships, so passengers can pedal along riverside paths or through cities and towns on their own.
