Kystruten Norwegian Coastal Voyage with Havila
Havila is a family owned Norwegian shipping company that sails the classic coastal voyage between Bergen and Kirkenes with the Norwegian coast most environmentally friendly ships. Four new ships sail the Kystruten Norwegian Coastal Route (Bergen to Kirkenes and return), running on alternate days to Hurtigruten.
The four ships are loaded with the world's largest battery pack, and for four hours, they can sail without noise or emissions through the vulnerable fjords. The batteries are charged with clean hydropower at shore, and when the batteries are low, they will switch to natural gas which cuts CO2 by around 25%. The hull is specially designed for maximum energy efficiency, and excess heat from cooling water and sea used for heating on board.
On the menu, there will be locally made dishes from local producers, and all unnecessary plastic will be avoided. Havila are already exceeding the authorities requirements for cutting emission, and they will be setting sail with zero emissions as the target.
The Havila Voyages is part of the Havila group that dates back to the 1950s. It all started when the founder, Per Sævik, bought his first fishing boat in his teens. From fishing and herring fishing, Havila is now a group operating in shipping technology, offshore, transportation and tourism.
From August 2023, all four ships, ‘Havila Capella’, ‘Havila Castor’, ‘Havila Polaris’ and ‘Havila Pollux’ are sailing the coast delivering unforgettable and comfortable voyages for their passengers. All the ships will be identical: 122.7 metres long, 22 metres wide and able to carry 640 passengers (172 day-passengers and Cabins for 468 passengers).
