Overview of Havila Voyages

Havila Voyages is a family-owned Norwegian shipping company that operates along the classic coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes.

Established to provide sustainable and comfortable travel experiences, the company has introduced some of the most modern ships on this historic route.

Fleet and Sustainability

The fleet comprises four identical sister ships: MS Havila Capella, MS Havila Castor, MS Havila Polaris, and MS Havila Pollux. These vessels are designed with sustainability at their core, featuring hybrid propulsion systems that combine liquefied natural gas (LNG) and large battery packs—the largest installed on any passenger ship to date.

Onboard Experience

Passengers can expect a high-quality dining experience, with menus curated by renowned Norwegian chef Gunnar Hvarnes. The cuisine emphasizes local ingredients and sustainability, aiming to reduce food waste.

The ships’ décor reflects Norwegian landscapes, including the sea, sky, mountains, and glaciers, providing a serene and immersive environment.

Unique Offerings

Havila Voyages offers a “Northern Lights Promise” from October to March, ensuring passengers witness the Northern Lights or receive a complimentary second voyage.

Additionally, the company provides emission-free and silent sailings through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord during April and May, allowing guests to experience the fjord’s tranquil beauty as it awakens from winter.

Commitment to Transparency

Havila Voyages is dedicated to respecting human rights and maintaining decent working conditions. The company encourages employees, guests, investors, and partners to report any concerns, reflecting its commitment to transparency and ethical operations.
