Pause Your Coastal Voyage - Havila's New Lofoten Stopover Changes Arctic Cruising
March 16, 2026·about 3 hours ago·via Life in Norway

Havila Voyages is reshaping Norwegian coastal travel with the Lofoten Coastal Stopover, a groundbreaking concept that integrates a two to three-night stay in Svolvær directly into the company's scheduled route rather than offering it as a pre- or post-cruise add-on. Guests sailing southbound from Kirkenes disembark in the Lofoten Islands, stay at Thon Hotel Svolvær, then rejoin the next Havila ship heading south while maintaining their cabin category.
