HX Expeditions - What it's like being on a cruise with 200 passengers instead of 4 thousand

World of Cruising's Raph Giacardi joins HX Expeditions onboard MS Spitsbergen to find out what small-ship cruising actually looks like, day to day. It starts before you even board - packing for expedition cruising looks nothing like packing for a resort ship. Once underway, the weather isn't background noise, it's the itinerary: routes shift, landings get called or cancelled, and the ship itself moves differently, built to handle conditions a 2,000-guest liner simply wouldn't sail into. Zodiacs replace beach clubs, getting guests onto land - and into the water - in places bigger ships can't get near. Here's the part most people don't expect: on a ship this size, the itinerary isn't fixed. It's decided day by day, sometimes hour by hour, around weather and wildlife. Small ship, fewer guests, completely different holiday.
