What’s Included with Havila Voyages?
Settle into your cabin, watch the Norwegian coast unfold and let Havila Voyages take care of the essentials. Packaged voyages include breakfast, lunch and dinner, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea, coffee and water with meals, access to onboard wellness facilities and a programme of included experiences inspired by coastal Norway. There is no need to budget for daily gratuities either. Instead, your attention can stay where it belongs, on the fjords, islands, Arctic landscapes and extraordinary light beyond the windows.
Full-Board Dining Included
Your packaged Havila voyage includes breakfast, lunch and dinner each day, primarily served in Havrand Restaurant. Rather than relying on the traditional cruise buffet, Havila takes an à la carte approach, with dishes prepared using high-quality ingredients and menus that evolve as the ship moves between different regions of Norway.
That means dining feels connected to the journey outside. Wake to breakfast as mountains appear beyond the windows, discover smaller Norwegian dishes over lunch and end the day with a dinner menu inspired by another stretch of the coast. On a longer voyage, the changing flavours become another way of following the route between Bergen and Kirkenes.
Drinks with Your Meals
A selection of everyday drinks is included at mealtimes, with still water, tea and coffee available with meals, alongside juices and milk at breakfast. It keeps the essentials simple while leaving you free to choose anything extra from the onboard drinks menus.
Wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks and other beverages are available at an additional cost. So while Havila is not an all-inclusive cruise line, you can still sit down to breakfast, lunch or dinner knowing the basics are already covered.
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is included during your Havila voyage, making it easy to stay in touch, check in back home or share a favourite view from the Norwegian coast. The connection is best suited to everyday browsing and messaging rather than heavy streaming or large downloads.
Of course, this is also the kind of journey that makes it surprisingly easy to put your phone away. With fishing villages appearing between islands, mountains rising beside the ship and the light constantly changing outside, there is usually something more interesting beyond the window.
Gratuities and Service Charges
There is no compulsory daily gratuity to add to the cost of your Havila voyage. Service charges are already included, so you do not need to calculate an additional amount for the crew at the end of the journey.
If someone has made your voyage particularly special, you can of course choose to leave an additional tip, but there is no expectation to do so. It is one less extra cost to think about while you are travelling.
Fitness Rooms and Saunas
After time ashore or a spell outside watching the Norwegian coastline, Havila offers welcoming spaces to warm up and slow down. Guests have complimentary access to two sea-view fitness rooms and separate saunas, while outdoor Jacuzzis provide another inviting place to relax when conditions allow.
The fitness rooms include treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes and weights, all accompanied by views of the coast. Afterwards, step into the warmth of the sauna or head outside to the Jacuzzi, where the contrast between crisp Norwegian air and warm water can be particularly memorable. Outdoor Jacuzzis may occasionally close because of weather, extreme cold or maintenance.
Onboard Activities and Presentations
Life onboard Havila is shaped by the coast you are travelling through. Rather than filling the day with traditional cruise entertainment, the onboard programme brings you closer to Norway through presentations, activities, quizzes and experiences inspired by local culture, food and coastal traditions.
What is happening changes with the route and season, which helps the voyage feel connected to the places beyond the ship. Some activities are included, while selected tastings, courses and specialist experiences may carry an additional charge.
Shore Excursions
Shore excursions are not included in the standard fare, but they can take you deeper into the places you see from the deck. Havila offers experiences at destinations along the Norwegian coast, giving you the chance to step beyond the harbour and discover more of the landscapes, communities and traditions that define the route.
One day might take you towards the North Cape, another into the dramatic scenery of the Lofoten Islands or through the historic streets of Trondheim. Excursions vary by voyage and season, and popular experiences can sell out, so it is worth exploring your options before departure.
Havly Café and Hildring Fine Dining
Your main meals may already be included, but there are other places onboard when you fancy something different. Havly Café offers a more casual setting for snacks, baked goods, light dishes and speciality coffees, while Hildring Fine Dining provides a more intimate dining experience built around premium Norwegian ingredients.
These experiences sit outside the standard full-board offering, although certain packages and suite benefits can include additional access. They are there for the moments when you want a coffee between ports, a relaxed bite outside normal mealtimes or a dinner that feels a little more special.
Extra Benefits for Suite Guests
Book a suite and your Havila experience comes with additional touches designed to make the journey feel even more relaxed. Depending on your suite category, benefits can include priority check-in and boarding in Bergen, access to the Havly Café Package, a welcome package and the option to enjoy breakfast and lunch in Hildring Fine Dining.
The greatest luxury, though, may simply be having more space to make your own. Along a route where the scenery rarely stops changing, a suite gives you another quiet place to watch the mountains, islands and coastal settlements drift past.
What Costs Extra with Havila Voyages?
Havila includes many of the things you are likely to use every day, but there are still extras you may want to budget for. These can include alcoholic and additional drinks, shore excursions, Havly Café purchases, special dining in Hildring, selected tastings and onboard experiences, shopping and other optional packages.
How much you spend beyond your fare is therefore largely up to you. It is perfectly possible to enjoy the scenery, included dining, Wi-Fi and onboard facilities without adding much more, or you can build in excursions, special meals and extra experiences as you travel.
Is Havila Voyages All-Inclusive?
Havila Voyages is not fully all-inclusive, but packaged voyages include considerably more than simply your cabin and transport along the coast. Your main meals, selected drinks with those meals, Wi-Fi, service charges and access to many onboard facilities are already included.
Perhaps the better way to think about Havila is that the essentials are taken care of, while the extras remain your choice. That leaves you free to focus on the reason for coming in the first place: watching Norway unfold one fjord, island, mountain and coastal community at a time.
