Switzerland-based Viking Cruises has ordered eight more ‘Longship’ river cruise vessels at Neptun Werft in Rostock. The shipyard is already building ten vessels in the Longship series which are due to be completed later this year and next.

The eight new ships, due for delivery in 2027 and 2028, will be equipped with a hybrid power setup consisting of diesel-electric drives and batteries. This arrangement will absorb peak loads and save fuel, the company said.

Neptun Werft CEO, Stephan Schmees, commented: “With this order, we are once again continuing our extraordinarily successful partnership with Viking. For Neptun Werft, the eight new ships mean employment in our core business of river cruise ships until 2028.”
