World's first hybrid Cruise Ship

The Roald Amundsen,  operated by Hurtigruten, will launch in May and will be the world's first hybrid ship.

Named after the first man to reach the South Pole, the Roald Amundsen, operated by Hurtigruten, will launch in May and will be the world's first hybrid ship, running on both electricity and fuel.

Accommodating just over 500 passengers, it will sail around both the Arctic and Antarctic and will even include an on-board science centre. 

In addition to vast in and outdoor observation decks, guests can enjoy a drink while taking in the scenery through the large panoramic windows on the forward-facing Explorer Lounge on deck 10.

Debut: The Roald Amundsen will set sail on its maiden voyage, from Lisbon to Hamburg, on May 17.

The innovative ship design integrates an ice-strengthened hull and a wave piercing bow design. It will be equipped with the Rolls-Royce Unified Bridge incorporating an entirely redesigned consoles, levers and software interfaces offering safe and efficient working conditions.
The new polar cruise ship will also integrate a DP0 dynamic positioning system, Aquarius 100 stabilisers and an ACON integrated automation system. It will have a length of 140m, width of 23m, height of 29m and a draught of 5.3m, and will accommodate 530 passengers.
The onboard hybrid power solution in combination with the hull structure and efficient electric power systems will reduce the fuel burn by approximately 20% and CO2 discharges by 20%, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 metric tons of CO2 a year. [The Roald Amundsen]
