Hurtigruten hopes zero-emission cruising will be plain sailing
Is it possible to design a truly green cruise line? Do cruisers care?

CEO Daniel Skjeldam says the changes will in part be driven by customer demand for more sustainable cruise travel.

The ship would have three retractable wind sails integrated with large solar panels.
