Voted best on the Norwegian coast by Condé Nast Traveler

Havila Voyages have always set sail with a mission to offer something truly special—sustainable, authentic, and unforgettable voyages along Norway's breathtaking coastline. And now, it’s official:  We’ve been voted the best on the Norwegian coast by the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler in their annual Reader’s Choice Awards, ranking #10 out of 24 in the “Best Medium Ships” category.  

Honoring tradition, embracing the future

This prestigious honor reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences rooted in Norwegian tradition while embracing the future of travel. From our state-of-the-art hybrid ships that glide silently through the fjords to our locally sourced culinary experiences, every detail on board is designed to celebrate Norway's beauty while preserving it for generations to come.

"It is a true honor to be recognized by such a highly esteemed awards program. Our team has worked hard to develop an energy-efficient way to allow more travelers to experience the beauty and culture of the Norwegian coastline and we are thrilled to have received such a positive response in our first full year in operation," said Bent Martini, CEO of Havila Voyages.

A journey like no other

We believe an authentic experience is more than the destination—it’s about the journey. Our ships offer unparalleled comfort, with spacious cabins, panoramic lounges for taking in the scenery, and a dining experience that celebrates the best of Norwegian cuisine. But don’t just take our word for it—travelers have spoken, and we couldn’t be prouder of this recognition.

More than 570,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting. The Readers’ Choice Awards, with their unparalleled legacy as the travel industry’s longest running and most prestigious accolades, remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgement of excellence within the travel sector.
