Havila Voyages

The most popular route sailed by Havila’s ships is the 7-day itinerary between Bergen and Kirkenes, available southbound, northbound, or combined into a longer 12-day ’round’ voyage. Shorter sailings of five days or less are available from Kirkenes, Svolvaer, Trondheim, and Tromso, and these will often revolve around highlights of one facet of coastal Norway, such as the Lofoten Islands or the Arctic Circle.

No, Havila Voyages is not an all-inclusive cruise line. The standard fare includes all meals onboard, complimentary WiFi, and access to the ship’s wellness facilities. On shorter voyages, meals are not included as standard but can be added with a meal package. Some suites also offer additional benefits, such as priority check-in and welcome drinks. For a more inclusive experience, you can enhance your voyage with a beverage package, available for both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Yes, absolutely. Havila Voyages operates cruises between October and March, which are the prime months for spotting the Northern Lights. For the best chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis, we recommend choosing the longer Round Voyage. If you are short on time, shorter winter sailings between Kirkenes and Tromsø also offer excellent opportunities.

Havila’s Northern Lights Promise applies to 12 night Round Voyages sailing between 1 October and the end of March. If you do not see the Northern Lights during your trip, Havila will offer a complimentary 6 or 7 night sailing, giving you another opportunity to witness this natural phenomenon.
