HURTIGRUTEN’S MS Roald Amundsen is being put through her final paces at the Kleven Yard, recently completing her first sea trials in the fjords along the western coast of Norway.
The hybrid-powered cruise ship is custom designed for remote destinations and is currently undergoing final outfitting alongside her sister ship MS Fridtjof Nansen.
“I am very pleased with the results of the sea trial,” said Kleven CEO Olav Nakken.
“The Kleven employees, along with our sub-contractors, have done a great job leading up to the successful sea trial,” he added.
The 530-passenger MS Roald Amundsen will join Hurtigruten’s fleet in May and boasts electric sailing powered by battery packs.
