Havila Schedules 2026

Havila Voyages does not really run nineteen routes. It runs one voyage up the Norwegian coast, and every leg listed here is a slice of that single journey. You can prove it from the departure times alone.

The legs chain end to end

Start at Bergen (Nøstet) at 20:30 and follow the clock: Florø 03:00, Måløy 05:30, Torvik 08:30, Ålesund 10:00. Later the same coast: Molde 23:05, Kristiansund 03:00, Trondheim 12:45, Rørvik 22:00, Brønnøysund 01:45, Sandnessjøen 04:50, Nesna 06:10, Ørnes 10:10, Bodø 15:20, Stamsund 19:40, Svolvær 22:15, Stokmarknes 01:40. Each departure picks up where the previous arrival leaves off, every day of the week. Bergen to Sortland runs about four days.

Ålesund appears twice in one day

Every other port in the chain is passed once. Ålesund is called at, left, and called at again. The ship departs for Geiranger at 10:00 on a 265-minute run, turns around, leaves Geiranger at 14:45 for a 255-minute return, and is back out of Ålesund at 20:00 bound for Molde. Geiranger is not a link in the chain at all — it is a detour in and back out, which is why the two Ålesund legs both exist.

The battery was built for that detour

The four ships — Havila Capella, Havila Castor, Havila Polaris and Havila Pollux — each carry a 6.1 MWh Corvus Energy Orca battery, which on installation was the largest energy storage system fitted to a commercial vessel. It gives roughly four hours of running with no engine noise and no exhaust. In June 2022 Havila Castor made the first emission-free entry into the Geirangerfjord. Note the arithmetic against the timetable above: four silent hours does not cover a 265-minute leg end to end. It covers the fjord itself, which is the part inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage and the part where the rules are tightening.

640 passengers, not a ferry crowd

Each ship has 179 cabins and takes 640 passengers. That is a different proposition from the Norwegian car ferries elsewhere on this site, which turn round in ten minutes and count vehicles rather than berths. Here the shortest leg in the whole chain is Sandnessjøen to Nesna at 70 minutes and the longest is Trondheim to Rørvik at 535 minutes — close to nine hours between two consecutive stops.

It alternates with another operator

The Bergen to Kirkenes coastal route is not Havila’s alone. Havila and Hurtigruten both serve it, sailing on alternating days, so the port you are standing on may see either company’s ship depending on the date.

What this timetable does not contain

Two things. First, every leg above is northbound — the only southbound entry is the Geiranger turnaround. The return voyage down the coast is not in our data. Second, the chain here stops at Sortland; the real route carries on north through Tromsø and Hammerfest to Kirkenes. Treat this page as the southern half of one direction, not as the operator’s full schedule.
