Great Prices, Peace of Mind, Personal Service, and Genuine Local Expertise
If you’re planning a Havila Voyage from Bergen, you’ve already discovered one of the most beautiful journeys on earth. But before you book directly, it’s worth knowing why hundreds of Australians choose to travel with Scandinavia & Beyond – an Australian-owned, family-operated company with over 30 years of expertise in Scandinavian holidays.
When you book through us, you’ll enjoy the same great Havila pricing, often with exclusive bonus offers, but with so much more support, detail and personal service every step of the way.
1. Real People, Real Support — Just a Phone Call Away
We’re based in Australia, with a friendly and experienced team who understand the time zones, travel styles and expectations of Australian travellers aged 55+. You can reach us toll-free on 1300 363 554 from anywhere in Australia — no overseas call centres, no waiting on hold.
From your first enquiry through to your return flight home, you’ll have a dedicated consultant to assist with planning, documentation and in-destination support via our trusted local partners in Scandinavia.
2. 30+ Years of Specialist Experience
For over three decades, we’ve been designing tailored journeys across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. We’ve travelled on Havila ourselves, know the cabin types and seasonal nuances, and can give honest, first-hand advice on everything from sea conditions in March to which direction (Bergen–Kirkenes or reverse) best suits your itinerary.
Our expertise means your trip runs smoothly — trains, hotels, and optional tours all connect seamlessly.
3. Comprehensive, Easy-to-Follow Documentation
When you book with us, you’ll receive a professionally prepared Travel documentation pack including:
-
A fully formatted, day-by-day itinerary detailing every transport segment, check-in, and local contact.
-
Hotel names, addresses, phone numbers, and details for each stop.
-
Local travel notes covering tipping, safety, weather, and packing advice.
-
Emergency contacts and 24-hour assistance details.
Everything is clearly written, beautifully formatted, and ready to print or save — ideal for stress-free travel through multiple destinations.
4. One-Stop Service for Your Entire Journey
Havila Voyages is just one part of a Scandinavian holiday. Our team can combine your cruise with rail journeys, hotels, flights, and activities such as the Flåm Railway, Northern Lights safaris, and fjords excursions — all with a single, coordinated confirmation.
This means fewer moving parts, one point of contact, and no risk of mismatched schedules or missed connections, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
5. The Same Great Prices — Often With Extra Value
We work directly with Havila Voyages and offer the same fares you’ll find booking direct. In addition, we frequently offer exclusive bonuses — onboard credits, cabin upgrades, or discounts on connecting tours — that are not available elsewhere.
Book & Pay in Australian dollars – Best of all, you’ll pay in Australian dollars, so you know exactly what you are paying in AUD. If you book direct you will pay in EUR or NOK and it is your banks exchange rates that apply, typically you will not know the exact price in AUD until after you pay. When you book with us you pay in AUD and know exactly what you are paying upfront avoiding foreign transaction fees and fluctuating exchange rates.
6. Tailored Advice for Mature Travelers
Our clients are typically Australians aged 55 and over, and we understand your priorities: comfort, reliability, safety, and quality experiences. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, we provide honest guidance on the best season, cabin category, and shore excursions to suit your pace and interests.
7. Peace of Mind and Ongoing Support
From our Sydney head office, we’re just a phone call or email away. Should weather or transport changes occur, you’ll have an Australian team ready to assist, liaising directly with local operators on your behalf.
Our local partners in Norway provide 24-hour emergency assistance, ensuring you’re supported every step of the way.
