Has anyone taken the cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes using the Havila Cruise line? Details appreciated.

Several of us have been on the older company, Hurtigruten, either for a cruise or for individual overnight segments along the west coast of Norway north of Bergen. Havila is quite new; I don't know whether anyone who posts here has taken one of its cruises yet.

Oh I LOVED the new ship smell! My husband and I took Havila from Bergen to Kirkenes in September of 2022. Their ships are all new with quiet LNG/Battery propulsion for the fjords. The rooms are really well appointed and large by cruise ship standards. We really liked the floor to ceiling windows that we had that the older Hurtigurten fleet does not. The staff were wonderful. I cannot rave enough about the food. We splashed out for the “gourmet” dining options. It was well worth it but the standard fare is exceptional too and the gourmet offerings added al a carte. I would recommend them highly.
