Havila Voyages will extend its season sailing into the UNESCO World Heritage Geirangerford by two months next year.
The cruise line currently operates into the fjord between June and August but next year, the season will start on 1 April.
Prices for the 11-night round voyage to Kirkenes, which departs Bergen on 31 March 2025 start from £1,616 per person.
CEO Brent Martini said: “We want to offer our guests even more opportunities to visit the Geirangerfjord in the most unique way possible. We are the only company meeting the Norwegian government’s requirements for zero emission sailings in our UNESCO world heritage fjords and promise an emission-free and silent journey into the Geirangerfjord even in spring.
“Now, everyone travelling with us has the chance to witness the spring blossoming in one of the world’s most renowned fjords. For many, the Geirangerfjord is a key reason to choose the coastal route, and we are pleased to offer more people the opportunity to experience the spectacular nature of this area.”
The requirements for zero emissions are scheduled to come into force in 2026. Havila Voyages is the only company to have successfully met these requirements, having first sailed Havila Castor into the fjord on battery power in June 2022.
