MS Richard With

MS Richard With
This hybrid Hurtigruten ship proudly carries the name of Captain Richard With, the founder who established the Norwegian Coastal Express in 1893. The MS Richard With upholds that legacy, having been upgraded in 2022 to become a greener hybrid vessel. This modernization features large battery packs combined with new efficient engines, cutting fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 25%. It also includes state-of-the-art navigation and control equipment, new wastewater treatment systems, and SCR technology that reduces NOx emissions by at least 80%.

Guests, max 590, can relax in the ship's panorama lounges and take in the unforgettable coastal views, similar to those seen when the first Hurtigruten boats sailed more than a century ago. Beautiful art throughout the interior adds contemporary elegance to the maritime ambiance. Your voyage also includes a dedicated Expedition Team who will be by your side, sharing stories and insights about Norway’s culture, nature, and history.

Onboard amenities include three restaurants, a panoramic lounge, a sauna and fitness room, complimentary Wi-Fi, contactless payments, a laundry room, and meeting rooms.

Cruise Norway is an expert Hurtigruten travel partner.
