Explora Journeys goes hydro with £3 billion ship investment

The luxury ocean line has confirmed the orders of two hydrogen-powered ships as it continues its voyage towards net zero. 

Explora Journeys confirmed the order with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, pledging its continued commitment to a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050.

EXPLORA V and EXPLORA VI will debut state-of-the-art energy efficiency approaches and be able to utilise alternative fuels like bio and synthetic gas.

Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman - Cruise Division, MSC Group, said, "Together with Fincantieri we will study the newest technology that the world has to offer and continue with our commitment to introduce these technologies to drive efficiencies across the whole spectrum of ship performance.  

"Of course we will continue to deliver the very best luxury travel experience, immersing our guests in the ocean state of mind with an sustainable soul."
