MS Roald Amundsen

SHIP OVERVIEW

In 2019, Hurtigruten added a brand new ship to its fleet: the MS Roald Amundsen. The state of the art vessel features new and environmentally sustainable hybrid technology that will reduce fuel consumption and show the world that hybrid propulsion on large ships is possible. MS Roald Amundsen is the first of two hybrid ships Hurtigruten will add to its fleet over the next few years. Emissions are cut by sailing with electrical propulsion. Innovative sustainable technology reduces fuel consumption and CO2-emissions on the ships by 20 percent.

PROS

CONS

There is practically no communication with passengers, food is not very good, expeditions are practically non-existent

RECOMMENDED

No

The ship and rooms are beautiful and top notch. The name of the cruise was "History, Seafood and Nature Reserves" a cruise from Halifax to Boston along North America's east coast. There was less than five minutes a day of history--and some of it was just wrong: we were told that Boston was founded by John Smith There was seafood--steamed Alaskan cod. No local or regional seafood at all. Not much variation in menus and limited choices. For the eight days of this cruise, we were scheduled to only visit three nature reserves There is no entertainment at all. You cannot even get a deck of cards. The educational lectures are sporadic and poorly presented. Staff, if you can find them, are very helpful and friendly. Communications are abysmal and was a common complaint over the entire ship. We were not even told when or where to board the vessel. The only communications are via the Hurtigruten app (which is not kept up to date at all) and a tv station. The embarkation of the ship and the expedition embarkations were total chaos each time with no information being given out. Unless you happened to watch one talk (during dinner) we were not even told that an entire port was being cancelled. The included expeditions were directions on how to get to the towns' information centers to get maps for walking tours. The expedition to Acadia National Park was directions on how to get to the free bus in town.
