As promised - I've spent a couple of days working through the Havila Voyages website to gather together the information required to produce a full summary of the accommodation available on the Havila ships. Even though I have taken two round trip journeys I had no idea that there were so many different configurations available.
TL;DR
A detailed summary of the accommodations available on each of the Havila ships - Castor, Capella, Polaris and Pollux. This information has been primarily sourced from the Havila website - re-organised into what I think is a more readable format.
I won't include pictures in this post as its easier just to refer back to www.havilavoyages.com for more detailed information.
Note - this information was compiled July 2025.
Havila Accommodation Options
Havila designed its cruise ships with an emphasis is on providing passengers with space in their accommodation. Pleasant places to relax during the day and sleep well at night. The Nordic décor reflects the landscape through which you will be sailing.
Most of the accommodations have sea views, but there are also inside cabins. These small inside cabins have 8m² of space, with two bunk beds and a small sofa. Suites can go up to 45m² of space, and some even have a balcony with a private jacuzzi.
All accommodations are ensuite, have a TV, hairdryer, free wifi and USB ports.
With several accommodation options available, travellers can make a selection based on their preferences and budget.
In this post, we will delve into the various accommodations offered by Havila Voyages, highlighting their unique features and amenities. In subsequent posts I will drill down further to summarise the different configurations in each cabin category, and suite category - including accessible versions of each.

Tips for Selecting the Right Accommodation
Choosing carefully from the available Havila accommodation options can truly enhance your experience on board. Here are some practical tips for making your selection:
Consider Your Budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend. Standard cabins provide a great value, while suites offer luxury for a higher price.
Think About Comfort: If you prefer more space and amenities, a superior cabin or suite may be worth the investment.
Evaluate Accessibility Needs: If you have mobility concerns, ensure that you opt for an accessible cabin/suite to guarantee a comfortable stay.
Plan for View Preference: If breathtaking views are a priority, consider booking a suite or superior cabin with large windows or a private balcony.
Check Availability Early: Certain cabin and suite types may book quickly, especially during peak seasons. Early reservation will give you a better chance of securing your preferred option.
By carefully considering your options and preferences, you can enjoy optimal comfort during your sailing adventure.
