VIKING has taken delivery of its newest ocean ship, Viking Neptune.
The vessel is the first in the cruise industry to test a small hydrogen fuel system, which will be used to power onboard operations.
The test will determine how hydrogen fuel could be used at a larger scale aboard future newbuilds.
The delivery ceremony took place this morning when the ship was presented at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard.
“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 Chair Torstein Hagen.
“She is the 15th new ship we have added to our overall fleet this year, another significant milestone as we continue the celebration of our 25th anniversary.
“We look forward to welcoming guests on board the Viking Neptune next week.”
The ship will spend her inaugural season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean before embarking on Viking’s 2022-2023 World Cruise.
