Along with sister ship MS Fridtjof Nansen, the ship is one of the most environmentally friendly expeditions vessels on the planet. Named after the equally pioneering  Roald Amundsen, who was the first man to reach the South Pole and sail the Northwest Passage, the ship also has a PC6 ice-class ranking for polar expeditions. 
With11 decks and a maximum of 530 guests (500 in the Antarctic to meet IAATO regulations), the ship offers a range of features and facilities for comfortable expedition cruising. These include an enrichment program led by experts in their fields, a state-of-the-art Science Center, fleet of inflatable boats, kayaks and a spacious Mud Room for storing outdoor gear and equipment. All guests on polar sailings receive a complimentary HX expedition jacket, backpack and water bottle. 
For onboard wildlife and scenery viewing, there is an impressive two-level indoor/outdoor Observation Deck, alongside plenty of wellness facilities. These include an infinity pool with hot tubs and bar, fitness center, spa, sauna and a running track. There is also a small medical center. Starlink Wi-Fi is available free of charge, but please note this does not support streaming and when sailing in remote areas connectivity can be an issue. 
The Scandi-inspired décor is a pleasing blend of elegance and cosiness with high-end granite, birch and blond wood finishes. There are 265 cabins falling into three main categories. All are outside facing and 50% have balconies. Entry level Polar Outside cabins include large picture windows, while some Arctic Superior cabins include balconies. The spacious Expedition Suites offer flexible sleeping arrangements and separate seating areas.
