Activities & Entertainment
Entertainment on MS Roald Amundsen isn’t about big productions - it’s the destinations that steal the show.
With the support of the brilliant Expedition Team, every wildlife sighting, landing and onboard lecture becomes part of the journey. That’s not to say life onboard is quiet - you’ll find plenty of inviting spaces to relax, reflect and enjoy the views in between adventures. The Science Centre on Deck 6 is the heart of the ship and a real highlight of the onboard experience. This bright, interactive space is packed with clever technology, hands-on exhibits and fascinating resources, all designed to bring the destinations to life. It’s where guests and the Expedition Team come together - sharing knowledge, discoveries and the occasional story from the field.

Just along from the Science Centre, the onboard shop is small but thoughtfully stocked, offering everything from useful gear for your next landing to souvenirs with a sense of place. It’s perfect if you need an extra layer, a piece of kit or something special to remember your voyage by.
The Expedition Launch Pad on Deck 3 is where the action begins.

With the Expedition Team always nearby to offer advice or lend a hand, it’s all very smooth and well-organised. You’ll also find several Observation Decks on board, including spacious outdoor areas on Decks 7 and 11 and an indoor area on Deck 6. Whether you’re scanning the waves for signs of life or simply enjoying the passing scenery, these decks offer unbeatable views and a real sense of connection to the places you’re sailing through.
Food & Drink
MS Roald Amundsen offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience, with three venues to choose from - two included as part of your cruise and one speciality restaurant.
The main dining venue, Restaurant Aune, is located on Deck 6 and serves as the culinary heart of the ship. Named after one of Hurtigruten’s historic suppliers, the restaurant reflects the company’s Norwegian roots while embracing fresh, global flavours. Here, you’ll enjoy a daily-changing menu built around sustainable, locally sourced ingredients, with hearty breakfasts, varied lunches and beautifully presented evening meals inspired by the regions you’re exploring. Also on Deck 6 is Restaurant Fredheim, the ship’s more casual and sociable dining space. Inspired by the old hunting cabins of Svalbard, Restaurant Fredheim offers a relaxed setting and an internationally themed menu focused on comfort food. It’s a great spot for light bites, plant-based options, sweet treats or a laid-back meal with fellow guests.
For something a little more special, Restaurant Lindstrøm awaits on Deck 9. This speciality restaurant offers a fine dining experience that blends Nordic heritage with modern presentation. Menus rotate every couple of days, showcasing high-quality, locally inspired dishes. Suite guests can dine here at no extra cost, while other guests are welcome to book for an additional charge, subject to availability.
When it’s time to unwind with a drink, head up to the Explorer Lounge & Bar on Deck 10. With its panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and warm, Scandi-inspired interiors, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure - whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment with a good book or chatting with fellow travellers as the world drifts by outside.
Perched beside the infinity pool on Deck 10, the Pool Bar offers an easy-going, al fresco setting that’s perfect for lounging with a drink in hand. Whether you’re cooling off after a bracing dip or unwinding with a cocktail in the hot tub, this casual spot serves up refreshing drinks.
Relaxation & Fitness
MS Roald Amundsen offers a well-considered selection of relaxation and fitness facilities - compact, yet more than enough to help you unwind or stay active as you sail.
On Deck 7, you’ll find the ship’s main indoor gym, kitted out with Technogym cardio equipment, free weights and yoga mats for stretching or floor workouts. Right next door is the Wellness Centre, where you can book a soothing massage or facial - ideal after a day of exploring ashore.
Deck 10 is all about unwinding with a view. At the aft, you’ll discover a heated infinity pool and two hot tubs, offering spectacular, uninterrupted sea views. Just steps away is the ship’s panoramic sauna, where you can relax and take in the scenery as the world slips by outside the large windows.
If you prefer to keep your workouts outdoors, head up to Deck 11. This open-air space features a small outdoor gym with functional exercise stations and a 150-metre running track - perfect for a brisk morning jog or a gentle walk in the fresh sea air.
