Named after the first man to cross Antarctica and to reach the South Pole, MS Roald Amundsen leads the way towards an even more sustainable way of travelling. The ship is specially constructed for voyages in polar waters. It serves as a comfortable base camp at sea – bringing adventurers from all over the world to the most spectacular destinations in the most sustainable way.
MS Roald Amundsen is the first of two hybrid ships Hurtigruten Expeditions will add to its fleet over the next few years. Emissions are cut by sailing with electrical propulsion. Innovative sustainable technology reduces the ship's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 percent.
Premium expedition comfort
The stunning scenery is reflected in a rich and comfortable interior design. Scandinavian materials from nature, such as granite, oak, birch and wool are used to create relaxed and stylish cabins and public areas. All cabins are outside cabins, of which 50% have private balconies, and aft suites feature private outdoor hot tubs with spectacular views.
One of the most eye-catching exterior design features is the two-level indoor/outdoor Observation Deck. It is an ideal place to scan the scenery and watch for wildlife with your binoculars.

We offer a rich and varied program of optional shore excursions. We offer included excursions at many ports that can be reserved for no additional charge. In many cases, the included excursion can be combined with other optional excursions. Most excursions can be pre-booked, but may also be bookable onboard if there is enough capacity.
We advise that you book well in advance to avoid disappointment when the excursion is fully booked. Please note that registration is binding. Once on board, the expedition team will advise you of booking deadlines for excursions that are still available. Our excursions have English-speaking guides, unless stated otherwise. Other languages cannot be guaranteed, unless otherwise specified. Excursions are subject to change and possible cancellation due to weather conditions. They are also subject to a sufficient number of participants.
All expedition shore landings and small-boat cruising during our time in Antarctica are included the program. Along with the optional excursions available to book, the expedition team also arranges a variety of activities during the cruise. These vary according to location and season, but may include hiking, small-boat cruising, kayaking, snowshoeing, or camping. A limited number of kayaking slots are available for booking prior to select cruises, but all other activities are booked on board and subject to availability.
It is not common practice to tip on Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage, but if you feel that crew members should be rewarded∘ for providing exceptional service, tip boxes are placed in the restaurant together with envelopes.
