Its sister ship next year
The Roald Amundsen, a first-of-its-kind hybrid cruise ship powered by battery energy and fossil fuel, is scheduled for its first Haines stop on May 26 — on its first voyage to Southeast.
Norwegian cruise line Hurtigruten had the 528-passenger ship — named for the first man to cross the Antarctic — specially constructed for voyages in polar waters. The 460-foot-long ship was built in Norway and started service in 2019.
