About MS Roald Amundsen

MS Roald Amundsen is a 2019-built expedition cruise ship operated by HX Expeditions, formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions. Designed for polar exploration, it combines a strengthened PC-6 hull with hybrid battery propulsion, allowing quieter, lower-emission operation. The ship carries up to 530 guests and offers extensive observation spaces, a Science Center, multiple restaurants, expedition facilities, and balconies on many accommodations. Its relatively small size supports access to remote destinations that are unsuitable for large conventional cruise ships.
