Havila Voyages has finalised its membership of Abta.
The Norwegian company officially became a member on February 10, having met all the financial and regulatory criteria.
A new 32-page brochure has been produced giving detailed information about the ships, route and excursions to help agents sell its Norwegian coastal voyages.
UK head of sales Matthew Valentine said: “It’s been an exciting first year of operations, with two ships now operating and a further two ships being added to the fleet in 2023.
“Our travel agent colleagues have been incredibly supportive over this period and we also now have agreements in place with a number of UK tour operators.”
He added: “We hope our membership of Abta demonstrates that we recognise the importance of the UK travel trade in the future growth of our business.
“Consumers trust the Abta brand and its code of conduct remains a very powerful selling tool, in particular giving them the financial reassurance to book.”
Havila Voyages started cruising along the Norwegian coast in December 2021 with ships all following the same route from Bergen to Kirkenes, before returning the same way.
