Havila Voyages has confirmed the first wave of musicians set to perform aboard Havila Pollux for the 2026 Havila Blues Cruise. Sailing from Bergen to Kirkenes and return between April 17 and 28, the voyage transforms the modern, eco‑aware ship into an intimate concert venue cruising through Norway’s dramatic fjord coast.
Artists already confirmed include The Jimmys from the USA, Thorbjørn Risager Duo of Denmark, and Trickbag from Sweden, alongside several Norwegian acts such as Muddy Waters Allstars, Amund Maarud, Knut Hem, Arne Skage and Fredrik Stovind. Additional performers will be announced in due course.
The scheduled itineraries include a full 12‑day round trip, a 7‑day voyage northbound, and a 6‑day return southbound. Each evening, the ship joins forces with the coast as a floating concert hall, bringing world‑class blues into the serene silence of Norway’s fjords.
Havila Pollux is one of the fleet’s latest hybrid LNG‑and‑battery vessels, among the most advanced passenger ships operating on the Norwegian coast. These technical innovations allow for emission‑free, silent sailing through sensitive fjord ecosystems—an apt setting for an event where nature and music converge.
