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, including Antarctica, Greenland, the Northwest Passage, and Arctic Canada in the most sustainable way.

MS Roald Amundsen is the first of two hybrid ships HX 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.

Cabin Specifications
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.

Features onboard
The ship has three restaurants: Aune, Fredheim and Lindstrom. Facilities include the Explorer Lounge & Bar, Science Center with lecture spaces and a small library, plus a gym, wellness area, sauna, infinity pool and hot tubs. 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.
