Environment
The Hurtigruten company has retrofitted all of its ships with shore power. This method makes it possible to massively reduce CO2 emissions and NOx emissions. She also wants to ban the use of heavy fuel oil in Arctic waters.
In addition, in order to preserve the environment, Hurtigruten has removed single-use plastic packaging from all ships in its fleet (shower gel and soap dispensers, water bottles, cutlery, etc.).
To replace the water bottles, the company offers passengers a water bottle that they can fill during the cruise at the ship's water dispensers.
