Havila Capella

A Journey Through Nature and Light

The cruise on the Havila Capella turned out to be one of the most rejuvenating experiences of my life. The ship follows the historic Norwegian coastal route. What struck me most was the silence. Thanks to its battery and liquefied natural gas propulsion system, the ship glides through the water almost noiselessly. One night, as we sailed through a fjord beneath the northern lights, I stood still on the deck, speechless—there was only the sound of the wind. It felt like being in a dream. The ship is filled with natural light, with huge panoramic windows everywhere. You can simply sit with a cup of coffee and watch the landscape change, minute by minute. The meals were an experience in themselves. The dishes, served at the table, were clearly prepared with local ingredients. I tasted stockfish, reindeer, and a rhubarb dessert—each course accompanied by an explanation of the ingredients' origins and the Norwegian culinary tradition.
