Havila Polaris Ship & Cabins Tour | Norway Coastal Ferry

I’ve just spent 12 days on the Havila Polaris, one of four brand new coastal cruise ferries from Havila, the newest operator of ships on the Norwegian coastal route.

▶ Norway's Coastal Cruise in the Winter:

In this video, I’ll take you onboard the Havila Polaris so you can decide if a voyage on this vessel is the right choice for you. All four ships in the Havila fleet are essentially the same. Powered by LNG and batteries, they are the newest, and greenest, ships sailing the coastal route today.

It’s important to say up front that the Havila Polaris is primarily a working ferry and not a cruise ship, but it does offer a super comfortable experience for cruise passengers. The design takes a lot of inspiration from cruise ships such as high quality cabins, a fantastic observation lounge, and a choice of lounges and dining venues.

We were on the Polaris in November 23….absolutely loved our trip up and back and would recommend to anyone. We only had 146 passengers on the way from Kirkenes to Bergen so it was very quiet but the crew were fantastic and friendly and we had the most fantastic holiday…and saw the northern lights 3 times which is why we went 😊

Hi David, I was waiting to see where and when Captain Hudson was going to make his appearance !! In the cabin YAY.
It's even better when hubby visits and Miss Emma is sailing with you !!

My husband and I will be sailing the norwegian coast in May. I found this youtube channel, and it is fascinating! This winter journey is now on my bucket list. Thank you for these informative videos!!

Looks a little nicer that my Hurtigrutin working ferry!

Thank you for sharing your journey. Norway is a stunning country in the summertime, but it looks incredibly "cool" in the winter time as well. Hope I get a chance to return there sometime soon.

I was there recently. It was so amazing. Perfect service, and super comfort. I was just there for 12 hours, because I left the boat at the third port. Wish I could be there longer

Thank you again David for this great video! ❤️
How much was the cost for your trip? If don’t mind sharing with us.

Thanks David for the great video! Just wondering if the Havly cafe snacks are included for round trip guests? 😊

Great videos you are providing on the coastal cruises! Can you comment on the wifi & cellular situation on these ships, how good are signals/speeds and are there additional charges?

Hello. I will be travelling from Tromsø to Stamsund in January 2025, and the journey starts at midnight. It is nearly 20 hours of traveling. I am actually on a budget, so in your opinion, should I go for the less expensive deck space ticket or book a cabin? Is there any place for the deck passengers to relax and take a nap? How difficult is it in winter for the deck passengers?
