Why we like the Roald Amundsen cruise ship
- Purpose built expedition ship designed to carry 530 guests in comfort with facilities to match and an ability to provide excursions for all
- Go anywhere capability with icebreaker strength
- Carefully designed to immerse guests in the destination with science centres, lecture theatres and a host of expert guides
- A huge range of cabins gives a choice to everyone
- Three restaurants, a sauna and spa makes an expedition feel like a holiday too
- A two level indoor/outdoor observation deck means you will miss nothing
- A hybrid-powered ship with zero single use plastic onboard – every effort is made to make trips as green as possible

Communal Areas
Of the stunning design throughout one of the most impressive features is the two-level indoor/outdoor observation deck, where you'll be sure to collect many memories watching wildlife, admiring the views, and enjoying good company.
The science centre is another highlight, equipped with state of the art technology and gadgets provided to ensure the deepest understanding for the areas you're visiting. There are lecture spaces, a library, and speciality areas for workshops in photography, biology and more. When you can pull yourself away from the discoveries to be made on deck and in the science centre, relax in the explorer lounge, the gym and wellness centre, a hot tub, or the infinity pool.
