Havila Voyages’ Havila Capella was christened this week on the cruise line’s head workplace in Fosnavåg, Norway, by godmother Hege Sævik Rabben, in keeping with a press launch.
The christening ceremony befell simply over a yr after the ship started service alongside the coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes. Rabben, a Havila Voyages board member, christened the ship in clear water taken from Geiranger, in keeping with the cruise line.
“It is a great honor to be the godmother of such a great ship, especially here in Fosnavåg where the ship is registered and the shipping company has its head office”, stated Sævik Rabben. “For both Havila Capella and the company, it has been a difficult start to the operation along the coastal route, but we are optimistic for the future.”
Havila Capella’s identify, like the remainder of the corporate’s fleet, was impressed by stars. Per Saevik, chairman and fundamental shareholder, introduced a naming competitors for his eight grandchildren during which they must select a star identify for the brand new ships.
“The names of all four of our ships are guiding stars. Throughout history Capella, Castor, Polaris and Pollux have been used for navigation at sea and to guide sailors home,” commented Sævik.
“The characteristics of Havila Capella make her a guiding star along the coast, like her sister ships,” acknowledged Bent Martini, managing director, Havila Voyages.
With its hybrid operation of liquefied pure gasoline and the world’s largest battery pack on a passenger ship, the Havila Capella is probably the most environmentally pleasant ship on the coastal route, the corporate highlighted.
“We have already sailed the world heritage in the Geirangerfjord emission-free, 4 years before the authorities’ requirements, and have ships that have been built to meet the future requirements and opportunities for completely emission-free sailings. It is therefore fitting that Havila Capella is named after a guiding star.”
