Paying for this ship
How fares work
Per person
Tickets are sold per person by the shipping line; book ahead in summer.
No AutoPASS
Cars travel only with a booking made directly with the shipping line.
Havila: The coastal route is worked by two separate companies, Havila (Havila Voyages) and Hurtigruten, calling at many of the same ports — check which one runs your departure. Havila Capella is in dry dock from 29 October to 30 November 2026.
Hurtigruten: Booked port to port, this is transport rather than a cruise: meals are not included, and a cabin is priced separately — and compulsory on legs longer than 23 hours. Children up to 5 travel free when sharing a berth; 6–17 get 75 percent off the ticket, not the cabin.
