Why cruise the Norwegian Fjords with Havila Voyages?

Large panoramic windows and spacious viewing areas make the scenery the star of the journey, while hybrid battery technology helps reduce emissions and noise during the voyage
What makes Havila's Ships Different?
Purpose-built for Norway, Havila's ships combine LNG propulsion with large battery packs. The batteries can power the ships for up to four hours of zero-emission sailing, while also helping reduce noise and fuel consumption
