Havila Pollux

Havila Pollux is a modern Norwegian coastal cruiseferry operated by Havila Voyages that officially entered commercial passenger service in twenty twenty-three following complex construction at the Tersan Shipyard located in Yalova, Turkey. Accommodating up to six hundred forty total passengers across overnight berths and reserved seating alongside seventy-six professional crew members, the specialized vessel operates successfully as the fourth ship in a fleet of four identical sister ships.

Measuring one hundred twenty-four meters in length and twenty-two meters in width, the vessel is powered by liquefied natural gas paired with the largest high-capacity battery pack ever installed on any passenger ship. This advanced hybrid propulsion system cuts carbon dioxide emissions by twenty-five percent significantly while enabling silent and zero-emission navigation through sensitive protected fjords along the historic route.

Onboard public spaces feature the primary Havrand Restaurant serving traditional Norwegian specialties through four rotating regional menus alongside the specialized fine dining venue named Hildring. Additional passenger facilities include a welcoming café and bar, a panoramic observation lounge, fully equipped gymnasium and sauna amenities, and an open sun deck equipped with relaxing hot tubs.

Guest accommodations comprise one hundred seventy-nine thoughtfully designed staterooms including wheelchair-accessible options, specialized pet-friendly cabins, and comfortable provisions for one hundred seventy-two regional day passengers utilizing aircraft-style recliners. Every cabin is fully air-conditioned and equipped with private en-suite bathrooms, wall-mounted televisions, multiple USB charging ports, and complimentary wireless internet access.

The specialized ship appeals strongly to independent travelers and maritime enthusiasts who prefer an authentic functional working ferry experience over a conventional large-scale resort-style cruise ship. Passengers enjoy an immersive journey along the spectacular Norwegian coastline where the focus remains firmly on local maritime transport and breathtaking landscape exploration.
