The Havila Polaris has launched the world's first climate‑neutral cruise, powered by liquefied biogas made from municipal waste - fish scraps, food waste, and agricultural by‑products. About 300 m³ of LBG plus battery power propel the ship through Norway's fjords, proving long‑distance cruising can run on renewable, waste‑derived fuel. The voyage marks a major milestone for low‑emission maritime travel.
