HX Developing New Culinary Program With Greenlandic Chefs

HX (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions) is working on a new culinary program with top chefs from Greenland.

The expedition cruise line is now partnering with Inunnguaq Hegelund to develop specially curated menus, collaborative recipes and culinary lectures.

“Greenlandic cuisine is deeply connected to nature, tradition and sustainability, and this initiative allows us to tell these stories through food,” says Hegelund. “I’m excited to work with an incredible team of chefs and suppliers to bring this vision to life.”

Debuting May 24, the new culinary initiative will feature a rotating team of Greenlandic chefs who will join HX voyages. Participants include Laasi Biilmann, Eli Nuka Johansson and Jørgine Tobiassen.

HX is also committed to sourcing 30 percent of its ingredients from local and regional suppliers, including meat, seafood, fish, microgreens and beer. The company is partnering with Qajaq Brewery to offer their craft beers as part of its all-inclusive drinks selection. 

“This partnership is not just about food; it’s about sharing Greenland’s deep cultural heritage through its flavours,” says Stefan Engl, vice president of hotel operations at HX. “By sourcing ingredients locally and collaborating with community suppliers, we’re creating a truly authentic culinary experience that highlights the unique beauty of Greenland.”
