About MS Roald Amundsen

MS Roald Amundsen is a battery-hybrid polar expedition ship ordered from Kleven Verft in Norway in 2016, with her hull sections built by Montex in Gdańsk. Her delivery slipped from 2018 to 2019, and she was handed over to Hurtigruten on 25 June 2019, marketed as the world's first hybrid-powered cruise ship. In summer 2020 she was at the centre of a COVID-19 outbreak in Tromsø. She now sails for HX Expeditions.
