Vision of a battery-electric cruise ship—MEYER WERFT innovation features a Corvus Energy battery system

MEYER WERFT introduces concept study for the world's first 100% battery-electric large cruise ship — reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%

At Seatrade Cruise Global 2026 in Miami/USA, MEYER WERFT Group presented Project “Vision,” the world’s first 100% battery electric cruise ship with a size of more than 80,000 GT. The concept design incorporates a largescale marine battery system from Corvus Energy. Find more information and a link to the MEYER WERFT press release introducing the concept below.

A defining moment for the cruise industry

The entirely new and innovative concept demonstrates how sustainable innovations can redefine the future of the cruise industry — leveraging existing technologies and planned infrastructure soon entering operation.

The battery technology is available today, and by 2030, around one hundred ports across Europe will offer the charging infrastructure required to support battery-electric operations.
