FLEDGLING cruise line Northern Xplorer has signed a letter of intent with West Sea Shipyard to build the world’s first zero-emission cruise ship.
Northern Xplorer’s maiden vessel is expected to be delivered at the start of the 2025/2026 cruise season.
The vessel’s design features a fully electric propulsion system, including the battery and hydrogen fuel cell technology, which will enable her to sail emissions-free, in the Norwegian fjords and further afield.
“This is a new milestone on our journey towards emission-free cruising,” said Northern Xplorer founder & Chief Executive Officer Rolf Andre Sandvik.
