Information about the ship
Havila Voyages operates a fleet of four modern, identical sister ships. These ships are notable for their strong focus on sustainability and environmental friendliness.
Key Ship Details:
| Ship Name | Maiden Voyage Year | Passengers (Cabin Capacity) | Length | Key Feature |
| Havila Capella | 2021 | 640 (468) | 124m | Most environmentally friendly coastal ships |
| Havila Castor | 2022 | 640 (468) | 124m | Identical sister ship to Capella, Polaris, & Pollux |
| Havila Polaris | 2023 | 640 (468) | 124m | Part of the fleet completed in 2023 |
| Havila Pollux | 2023 | 640 (468) | 124m | Equipped with world’s largest battery pack |
Sustainability and Design Features:
- Hybrid Propulsion: The ships utilize a combination of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and the world’s largest battery packs ever installed on a passenger vessel (6.1 MWh).
- Zero-Emission Sailing: They can sail for up to four hours with zero noise or emissions in sensitive areas like the UNESCO-listed fjords, with batteries charged by clean hydropower at the quay.
- Reduced Emissions: The use of LNG and efficient hybrid operation cuts $\text{CO}_2$ emissions and reduces $\text{NO}_x$ emissions compared to equivalent ships.
- Efficient Design: They feature an energy-efficient hull design and use excess heat from cooling water and the sea for heating on board.
- Interior: The decor is stylish and modern, inspired by the Norwegian nature, with a variety of spacious cabins and suites.
These four vessels compete on the Kystruten (Coastal Route) and offer voyages ranging from short segments to the full 12-day round trip.
