Viking has floated out the Viking Libra which is set to become the world’s first hydrogen powered cruise ship capable of zero emissions operation.
The vessel left the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona and is scheduled for delivery in November 2026 with its inaugural season covering Mediterranean and Northern Europe routes.
The hybrid propulsion system will allow navigation in environmentally sensitive areas and the next ship the Viking Astrea will follow the same technology when it enters service in 2027.
