Havila Kystruten

Competition in the far north

         
Until now, anyone who wanted to discover Norway's coast on the classic mail boat route could not avoid the Hurtigruten ships. That will change in 2021. Because then an additional provider will be sailing between Bergen and Kirkenes. Its name: Havila Kystruten. Nothing is yet known about the tourism concept of the competition. However, it is already clear that Hurtigruten will be reducing its Norwegian fleet by five ships.
