Havila Voyages is launching a new initiative to honor the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the first Norwegian immigrants to America.

As part of the Crossings 200 initiative, the cruise line is running a limited-time deal, with voyages starting at $200 per night per person, plus $200 in onboard credits. The promotion runs through August 31 and applies for travel between September 1 and December 31, 2025. Guests can use the code 200TH ANN at checkout.

Havila Voyages is also inviting Americans to uncover their inner Norwegian with the interactive “Find Your Norwegian” quiz for a chance to win a 12-day voyage. 

Crossings 200 is a dual-country celebration between Norway and the U.S. that marks the first arrival of Norwegian Americans in 1825. Today, most Norwegian-Americans live in the Midwest and the Northwest. But, since 2022, more and more U.S. travelers have been visiting Norway, with U.S. guests increasing from 8 percent to nearly 25 percent of Havila Voyages’ customer base. As a result, Havila Voyages has opened new customer support offices in America.

“Passengers from the U.S. have rapidly connected with Havila Voyages’ authentic experiences and eco-conscious approach to cruising,” says Bent Martini, chief executive officer of Havila Voyages. “We’re eager to welcome more American travelers to find their ideal itinerary along the historic coastal route, one that celebrates our unique ancestral ties between our two nations.”
