MS Roald Amundsen is a new hybrid powered Hurtigruten expedition cruise ship.[4] She was built by Kleven Yards of Norway and started her maiden voyage on 3 July 2019 from the Norwegian port Tromsø to Hamburg.[1] She and her sister ship Fridtjof Nansen are the first hybrid-powered ships in the Hurtigruten fleet.[3][5][6]
Roald Amundsen was christened in fall 2019 in Antarctica with a chunk of ice instead of the traditional bottle of champagne.[7] The vessel has Polar Class 6 rating for arctic conditions. Roald Amundsen was the first hybrid ship to sail the Northwest Passage.[8][9]
