MS Roald Amundsen

In May 2019, Hurtigruten will add a brand new ship to its fleet: the MS Roald Amundsen. The state of the art vessel features new and environmentally sustainable hybrid technology that will reduce fuel consumption and show the world that hybrid propulsion on large ships is possible.

Cutting Emissions

MS Roald Amundsen is the first hybrid ship Hurtigruten will add to its fleet, cutting their emissions by sailing with electrical propulsion. The hybrid technology, combined with the advanced construction of the hull and effective use of electricity on board, will reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the ship by 20 percent.
Sailing on electrical power is not only a great benefit for the environment, but it will also enhance the impact of experiencing nature for the guests. The ship will bring adventurers from all over the world to the most spectacular destinations in the most sustainable way.
