The rising tide of cruise tourists flocking daily into the coastal town of Honningsvåg is starting to cause havoc.

Hurtigruten buys the Kleven Shipyard in Norway after months of delays play havoc on its newbuild program.

Like the Roald Amundsen, its sister ship the Fridtjof Nansen has been delayed due to problems at the yard.

The Norwegian cruise and ferry firm invests $150 million in a switch to LNG and battery power.

Hurtigruten will not be sole operator for the first time since 1893, giving way to newcomer Havila.

Problems at the shipyard mean a delay in delivery for the expedition vessel until May 2019.

Roald Amundsen has innovative technology and a range of special features.
