Havila Voyages wins prestigious sustainability award

We are proud and humbled to share that Havila Voyages has won the Kreuzfahrt Guide Award 2024 in the sustainability category. This recognition is an important validation of our efforts to make travel along the Norwegian coast greener and more responsible.

Why is this award so special?

The Kreuzfahrt Guide Award is one of the most respected accolades in the travel industry, and winning in the sustainability category signifies that we are truly charting a course toward a greener future. The jury highlighted our efforts to reduce environmental impact, particularly using battery power and liquefied natural gas (LNG) on our ships. We are also proud to offer the world's longest fully electric sailing along Norway's stunning coast – a journey that brings you close to nature without leaving a heavy footprint behind.

Traditional routes, modern solutions

For us, sustainability isn’t just about technology; it’s about a holistic approach to how we operate. Our ships are designed to be as eco-conscious as possible, with energy recovery, advanced purification systems, and preparations for future zero-emission solutions. We also partner with suppliers and collaborators who share our vision of a greener future.

We believe that a journey with Havila Voyages should not only be an experience of a lifetime but also a step towards a more sustainable world. That’s why we focus on locally sourced and seasonal ingredients – often from producers along the coast. Read more about our approach to sustainable dining here.
