Hurtigruten is one of the first cruise lines to provide battery-powered ships.<\/h2>\n

Hurtigruten Cruises is leading the industry with the first battery-powered cruise ship. The first of two hybrid vessels to be added to the Hurtigruten fleet, the MS Roald Amundsen features environmentally sustainable hybrid technology.<\/p>\n

Hurtigruten ships are leaders in exploration travel, and their goal is to educate the industry and the world that hybrid propulsion is possible on large ships. CO2-emissions are cut by 20-percent as is fuel consumption, and it’s due to exciting and innovative sustainable technology. One of Hurtigruten’s goals is to raise and set standards for the cruise industry as a whole.
