Havila Voyages said that, according to current data from the European Travel Barometer, Norway is increasingly becoming a focus for travelers, and that sustainable travel concepts like “Coolcations” and “Silent Traveling” are experiencing an unprecedented boom.

The company said in a press release that, in response to these trends, it is positioning itself as a reliable partner for the travel trade, aiming to turn demand into profitable and sustainable growth alongside travel agencies.

The company has also showcased how it is meeting the increasing demands for sustainable travel concepts.

“Today’s travelers are no longer just looking for relaxation; they want purpose and maximum peace of mind,” said Johanna Hansli, chief sales officer at Havila Voyages.

“As a destination, Norway offers exactly this safe counter-blueprint to overcrowded and climatically overheated regions. With our ships, we prove that modern tourism does not have to burden nature but can actively protect it. For the travel trade, this clear, future-proof positioning serves as an unbeatable selling point,” added Hansli.

“We are committed to a long-term, fair partnership with travel agencies to convert high demand into profitable bookings, keeping the administrative workload for agents as low as possible through clear, reliable processes,” he said.

Alongside environmental factors, the need for reliability heavily shapes booking behavior in 2026, the company said.

To alleviate consumer concerns regarding last-minute changes while supporting traditional travel agencies during the consultation process, Havila provides a “Book with Confidence” promise, guaranteeing flexible rebooking and cancellation options.

For travel agencies and tourism partners, the guarantee aims to help ease daily operations and maximize argumentative leverage during sales conversations.

Havila Voyages added that through its commission structures and sales support, agents can also optimally monetize the current “Coolcation” trend.

Additionally, the fleet meets the rising demand for destinations and mobility concepts that combine ecological responsibility with high comfort through its battery packs, which allow the ships to glide up to four hours completely silently and emission-free through more vulnerable fjords.

Havila added that this concept of “Silent Traveling” not only protects wildlife and coastal communities but also provides guests onboard with a more intense, undisturbed nature experience.
