Bergen to Kirkenes and Back

 We are taking a cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes in Norway and back. This voyage takes 11 days and stops in 34 different ports - half on the way North and half on the way back. Our ship, the Havila Pollux s a working boat carrying tourists on a long cruise, but also taking passengers and goods from port to port. 

The Havila ships were built to be environmentally friendly can run on battery power for four hours and uses liquid natural gas when the batteries become exhausted. The batteries are recharged using hydropower when the boats are stationary. 









The Havila ships are smaller and stay close to the coast line. Their size also means they can enter the narrow fjords of Norway.
