Key features of the ships' energy-efficient design include: • EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE On a ship, every bit of added weight results in extra fuel consumption. This is why we are careful to add only what is needed to our ships, prioritising optimal guest comfort and operational efficiency. • SHORE POWER Viking Longships utilise shore power where possible to reduce reliance on fuel while in port. This feature is already providing a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 30% on some itinerary sections. • BATTERY PACKS Our newest Viking Longships have battery packs installed on board, which are expected to reduce our emissions by an additional 5%. • LED LIGHTING The lighting instruments on board Viking Longships are more energy-efficient LEDs, utilising low wattage and therefore lower heat output, lower power usage and a longer life.
