At WOW Incentives & Events, we are always on the lookout for unique experiences that align with our commitment to sustainable tourism. Hurtigruten’s groundbreaking Sea Zero project represents the next era of emission-free voyages, specifically designed for travelers who value personal growth and environmental responsibility over traditional excessive luxury.
As of early 2026, the project has successfully moved into its secondary research phase, focusing on revolutionary technology like retractable sails covered in 1,500 square meters of solar panels. These sails, combined with a massive 60MWh battery bank, will allow the vessel to sail entirely on electric power for up to 350 nautical miles—a major milestone for zero-emission maritime travel.
Beyond propulsion, the ship will feature underwater air lubrication to reduce hull drag and an AI-guided bridge to optimize navigation for maximum energy efficiency. This isn’t just a cruise; it’s a commitment to a greener future on the high seas, offering a glimpse into how technology will protect our planet’s most fragile environments.
