Travelers can partake in an exclusive journey combining the comfort and innovation of Havila’s ships with immersive, bespoke activities curated by Up Norway. An array of exclusive activities designed to offer a deeper connection to Norway’s traditions and landscapes range from learning about traditional food customs, arctic dog sledding, the northernmost breakfast at the North Cape Plateau, and quests for the Northern Lights, to cheese-making, a fjord sauna and natural cold plunge ritual, and midnight sun picnic dinner.

They prioritize sourcing food from local producers, ensuring fresh and sustainable meals, aligning with Up Norway’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and environmental stewardship.
The Premium Lofoten Hop-on/Hop-off Journey is a seven or eight day adventure that takes guests from northern Norway down the west coast to Trondheim.
Aboard Havila Voyages’ ship, guests will stay in Junior Suite accommodations with private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows. In Lofoten, guests can hop off the ship to stay for two or three nights in an authentic rorbu fisherman’s cottage and explore the region’s wonders through guided hikes, local food experiences, and seasonal adventures curated by Up Norway. Authentic and immersive experiences through local nature and culture, architecture, art and design await travelers at every corner with access to the local insiders.
