WE DRIVE CHANGE THROUGH MEANINGFUL TRAVEL

We give the opportunity to travel with meaning. Building on our explorer heritage dating back to 1893, our expeditions are built on the foundation of learning and championing sustainable expedition travel.

The Hurtigruten Experience

CRUISING with Hurtigruten is more than just experiencing a destination. At the heart of the

MS Roald Amundsen, guests will find the ship’s innovative and unique Science Center. This custom-built multi-purpose area offers a haven for passengers to convene and interact with the Expedition Team on a range of different topics. Here, knowledge-thirsty guests can attend lectures and presentations on topics such as climate change, sustainability, wildlife and earth science as well as destination-specific themes, allowing them to truly immerse themselves in their cruise experience.

The ship’s resource library is the perfect accompaniment to the hands-on learning of the Science Center. The room offers a variety of literature on landscape, wildlife and interaction with local culture related to the range of destinations Hurtigruten sails in.

Photographers and film content creators alike are also encouraged to bring their cameras along to sessions with the professional onboard photographer, who will provide guidance and advice on creating their very own works of art, ensuring their journey is one they will never forget.

The future of Expedition Travel

Named after some of the greatest heroes in Polar history, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen are greener, safer and more advanced expedition ships, custom-built to explore some of the most spectacular polar regions on the planet.

Our Hybrid ships have large battery packs in each ship which enables periods of all-electric operation but more importantly, the clean battery power aims to support the propulsion and hotel operation from minute to minute – and substantially reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

The introduction of the world’s first hybrid powered expedition ships is the latest in a number of Hurtigruten green initiatives. The company celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2018 by banning all single-use-plastics, while in another industry first, Hurtigruten is completely rebuilding existing ships to run on a combination of large battery packs, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and biogas (LBG) – produced from organic waste such as dead fish. If you’re considering a journey into the world’s most pristine and sensitive polar waters; consider travelling with the world leader in sustainable expedition travel.
