Viking, the luxury cruise line, is at the forefront of maritime innovation with its commitment to delivering the world's first hydrogen-powered cruise ship, the Viking Libra. Set for completion in late 2026 at Fincantieri's Ancona shipyard in Italy, the Libra will feature a hybrid propulsion system that can generate up to 6MW of power using liquefied hydrogen and fuel cells, ensuring zero-emission operations. This development is part of Viking's strategic plan to address environmental concerns in the cruise industry by investing in sustainable solutions. The company's focus on hydrogen technology not only aligns with meeting zero-emission requirements in sensitive areas like the Norwegian fjords but also sets new standards for responsible shipbuilding. Viking's partnership with Isotta Fraschini Motori and Fincantieri demonstrates a shared vision for a cleaner and more sustainable maritime future. Chairman and CEO Torstein Hagen emphasizes the company's dedication to reducing fuel consumption and investing in hydrogen for a true zero-emission solution. With a fleet expansion plan aiming for 23 ships by 2031, Viking is poised to lead the industry in environmentally friendly practices and innovative ship designs.
