About Viking Libra
Viking Libra is an upcoming Viking ocean ship that the line describes as the world's first hydrogen-powered cruise ship. She is under construction at Fincantieri's Ancona yard, was floated out in March 2026, and is scheduled for delivery in November 2026, with her debut announced for fall 2026. A sister of the 998-guest Viking Vela design, she is to measure about 54,300 gross tons with 499 staterooms, and her propulsion, based partly on liquefied hydrogen and fuel cells producing up to six megawatts, will let her operate with zero emissions. Her inaugural season is planned for the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
