Viking has announced the floating out of Viking Libra, the world’s first hydrogen-powered cruise ship capable of operating with zero emissions. Scheduled for delivery in November 2026, the ship will spend its inaugural season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
“The float out of the Viking Libra represents another milestone for Viking and our continued partnership with Fincantieri,” said Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking. “From the beginning, our approach to ship design has focused on reducing fuel consumption, and the Viking Libra is our most environmentally friendly vessel yet. Investing in hydrogen was a principled choice for Viking, offering a true zero‑emission solution, and we look forward to welcoming the world’s first hydrogen‑powered cruise ship to our fleet.”
