A footprint
we are proud of
When you explore with Hurtigruten you’ll sail with a world leader
in sustainable exploration travel. With two new hybrid powered
ships – the state-of-the-art MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof
Nansen – you’ll sail in premium comfort knowing your expedition
will leave the smallest possible footprint.
The greenest fleet
Our two new custom built hybrid powered ships lead the greenest
expedition cruise fl eet in the world. And by 2021 we’ll add another
new hybrid powered ship to the fl eet and complete the refurbishment
of more ships adding battery power, low-emission engines and shore
power capability.
Science, innovation and technology
We’re reducing our emissions with nearly 30 diff erent energy saving
measures: From reusing heat from our engines to heat onboard
water tanks – saving the equivalent in power of 6700 households per
year – to ballast water treatment plants, onboard desalination and
purifi cation technology biofuels to produce fresh water, we’re focused
on sustainability in every part of our business.
Plastic, pollution and cleaner oceans
In 2018, Hurtigruten was the fi rst major travel company to remove
single-use plastic from all our ships, restaurants and hotels and we’re
challenging our suppliers to reduce or stop the use of single-use
plastic too. Our Expedition Teams are always collecting waste – take
the opportunity to join them in beach clean-ups in wilderness areas.
Working with the experts
From the registration of polar bears on Svalbard and logging seawater
temperature along the Norwegian coast, to oil surveillance and
Antarctic research, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in
important scientifi c research.
And with leading environmental agencies such as Clean Arctic
Alliance and European Climate Foundation, Hurtigruten is
spearheading a campaign to ban the use of HFO in Arctic waters.
