Sea Zero
For a lower-emission future
Channeling the same pioneering spirit as our first voyage in 1893, we are embarking on a journey to build our first fully zero-emission ship for The Coastal Express by 2030. It is the most ambitious sustainability initiative in our 130-year history.
To reach Sea Zero, we are partnering with science-institute SINTEF to explore exciting, state-of-the-art solutions in energy efficiency and battery electric power.
Fewer than 500 guests on board
80% of the food & drink served is local
130 optional seasonal excursions by locals
