If I remember correctly, they will have 100 Propellers (each the size of the one from the Titianic) scattered all across the bottom of the ship in regular increments. They will be able to rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing the ship to move any direction from a standstill. I think it will be fuel powered, although they were looking at other options as well - such as solorpowered. They wanted to use hydroelectric power to help reduce fuel costs, but with the ridiculously slow speed, it wasn't economically viable.
