Cruise operator Hurtigruten Expeditions has welcomed explorer Alex McNeil to its team, with McNeil set to develop the company’s next generation of expedition cruises.

Completing over 100 expeditions, including reaching the Geographic North Pole on 14 separate occasions, McNeil will assume the role as SVP expeditions product and guest experience starting in the spring. His creative and collaborative approach to product development has led to the creation of industry-first itineraries, immersive shore excursion experiences, and the first expedition cruise products developed in full partnership with indigenous communities.

“We will explore nature and culture together with our guests and alongside those who live in the regions we visit,” said McNeil.

“It will be important, for example, to integrate even more local expertise, local food and other local products and services than today.”
