The Cleanest Cruise Yet
Hurtigruten, a cruise line always on the cutting edge of sustainability, has revealed its updated plans for its Sea Zero project, which features a zero-emissions ship scheduled to launch in 2030.
SThe state-of-the-art vessel will be propelled by large batteries, solar panels, and a radically new sail design previously seen only on cargo ships.
Another fuel-efficient feature: “smart cabins” that allow guests to control their own energy consumption.
“The cruising industry is a significant polluter, and it’s crucial that we now take major steps to reduce emissions,” says Hurtigruten CEO Hedda Felin.
