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.
