Secure the stories you'll tell for years to come

Sailing the Norwegian coast with Havila Voyages means new adventures every day! But the most popular tours fill up fast, and a few depend on enough guests signing up to go ahead. That’s why we recommend pre-booking your excursions! It’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss the moments you’ll remember — and talk about — for the rest of your life.

4 reasons to book your excursions ahead of time

1. Secure your spot on popular excursions

Our most popular shore excursions in Norway often fill up fast due to limited transportation, safety regulations, or small group sizes. Don't miss out on once-in-a-lifetime experiences simply because you waited too long. Book in advance to guarantee your place on the most memorable tours along the Norwegian coast.

2. Best rates!

Book before you travel for the best rate. You lock in today’s price, get a lower advance price, and know your costs in advance, which makes it easier to plan your holiday budget.

3. Faster refunds – just in case

While cancellations are rare, they can occasionally happen due to weather or unexpected circumstances. When you’ve booked in advance, any necessary refund can be processed more quickly and smoothly — giving you peace of mind and time to consider alternative activities.

4. Enjoy a stress-free start to your voyage

Pre-booking means fewer decisions to worry about once you’re on board. Your excursions are confirmed in advance, your time ashore is thoughtfully planned, and the logistics are taken care of. With everything set before departure, you can simply relax, enjoy the voyage — and look forward to what awaits at each stop along the coast!

5. Help ensure the excursion goes ahead

Some guided tours require a minimum number of participants. By booking in advance, you help confirm the activity for yourself and others. This also allows our local partners to plan properly, ensuring a smooth, well-prepared experience when you arrive.
