MS Roald Amundsen is a purpose-built Norwegian expedition ship and the first cruise vessel in the HX fleet equipped with large battery packs for hybrid propulsion. Built by Kleven and introduced in 2019, it carries up to 530 guests with 151 crew and is designed for polar exploration with PC-6 ice-class capability, expedition boats, a Science Center, observation areas, and a Scandinavian-style interior.

The ship combines hybrid battery-assisted propulsion with expedition facilities including a Science Center, Explorer Lounge, observation decks, and Zodiac operations. Its PC-6 designation supports polar operations, although it is not an icebreaker.
