Roald Amundsen
Ship overview:
A state of the art hybrid-powered and stacked to the gunwales vessel, capable of traversing the full Northwest Passage. With facilities including a science centre, wellness centre, sauna and restaurants, it would be easy to think this is a cruiser. Don't be fooled though, the Amundsen was designed for the ice and expeditions.

There are few ships with the capabilities to match this. A go anywhere ability is combined with incredible facilities onboard and very real efforts to minimise the carbon impact.
