Havila Coastal Cruise Ships

Overview

The Havila Polaris, Pollux, Capella and Castor are the most environmentally friendly ships sailing the Norwegian coast.

The four identical sister ships boast stylish interiors reflecting Norwegian nature, the ships have spacious cabins all with TV, free Wifi and USB connectors, some with private balcony for optimal viewing and space.

Facilities on board include a restaurant offering traditional and modern dishes from the best local ingredients, the Hildring fine dining restaurant, café, lounge bar and gym. From the lounge chairs under the glass roof on the top deck, you can enjoy views of the northern lights, the star-studded night sky, or the midnight sun during the summer.

With an emphasis on sustainability the ships have an energy-efficient hull design and the world’s largest battery packs, charged from hydropower at the quay allowing the sip to sail for 4 hours with zero emissions.  When battery power has been used the ship switches to LNG. This, together with efficient hybrid operation, means that CO2 emissions are cut by around 25% and NOx emissions are reduced by around 90%. The ships have been designed to ensure that when hydrogen becomes a viable power source and has been approved for commercial sailing, they can be converted to use the latest technology.

 

Eric in Norway Budding eagle spotter? Lofoten is the go-to place for sea eagle spotting, but you're looking for front row seats, jump in a RIB boat. A speedy 20 minute ride takes you to nearby islands where you can see them nesting, and diving for fish just a few metres from the boat. Amazing scenes.
