Viking has taken delivery of its newest ocean vessel, Viking Neptune, from Fincantieri Shipyard in Ancona.
Neptune will be the cruise industry’s first ship to test the use of hydrogen power for onboard operations, through the use of a small hydrogen fuel system.
"We are especially proud to welcome this newest sister ship to our ocean fleet, as it also marks a significant advancement in testing hydrogen as a future fuel for our vessels," said Torstein Hagen, chair of Viking.
Neptune will spend its inaugural season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean before embarking on the company’s 2022-2023 Viking World Cruise, a journey from Fort Lauderdale to London which spans 138 days, 28 countries and 57 ports, with overnight stays in 11 cities.
