MS Roald Amundsen is the first of two new hybrid expedition ships Hurtigruten will add to its fleet over the next two years, sailing with electrical propulsion. The new ships have been designed by Rolls-Royce, working with Norwegian yacht designer Espen Øino, and are due to be delivered in 2018 and 2019.
