Selar’s Arctic Cruise Ship Features Retractable Solar Sails

Selar’s newest cruise ship features a host of sustainability advances that make it 90% less polluting than the other ships that explore the arctic.

The main attraction are the 35-meter-high sails that are clad in solar, and can be retracted. It’s a unique feature, one that serves double function, and shows that large ships can be made to be far more energy efficient and self sufficient.

With over 2000 square meters of solar on the sails, they provide the vast majority of the power needed onboard.

Inside, the ship’s spacious cabins are clad in renewable materials, and have a zero-waste-at-sea policy, to further reduce impact on the land.

While touring the arctic, visitors can expect to see polar bears, seals, walrus, and even visits with Inuit tribes.
