Our trajectory is based on exploration, maritime expertise, and a deep respect for the places we visit, and we are proud to bring this perspective to the Chamber. As we celebrate our 130 years of history, we are also focused on the next 130: working with partners across the sector to drive safety, sustainability, innovation, and responsible maritime tourism into the future."
Rhett Hatcher, CEO of the UK Chamber of Shipping, said that "the strength of the Chamber lies in the breadth and diversity of its members. HX Expeditions brings a unique perspective, forged over more than 130 years of maritime experience.
