Included Excursion: North Cape and King Crab Experience
The tour starts and ends in Honningsvåg, the gateway to North Cape. You’ll first head to the small village of Sarnes where you can learn about and sample a local delicacy: king crab. The meal will be served the traditional way: with soft bread, mayonnaise, and a slice of lemon.
Then, the bus continues to North Cape, passing dramatic subarctic landscape along the way. Arriving at 71 degrees north, you can stand on the edge of the cliff, marvel at the stunning ocean views, and take photos by the iconic globe monument. While you’re there, make sure to visit North Cape Hall and see a movie showcasing the region throughout the seasons or pick up a souvenir at the shop.
Port Info
Searching in 1553 for a northeast passage to India, British navigator Richard Chancellor came upon a crag 307 yards above the Barents Sea. He named the jut of rock North Cape, or Nordkapp. Today Europe's northernmost point is a rite-of-passage journey for nearly all Scandinavians and many others. Honningvåg's northerly location makes for long, dark winter nights and perpetually sun-filled summer days. The village serves as the gateway to Arctic exploration and the beautiful Nordkapp Plateau, a destination that calls to all visitors of this region. Most of those who journey to Nordkapp (North Cape), the northernmost tip of Europe, are in it for a taste of this unique, otherworldly, rugged yet delicate landscape. You'll see an incredible treeless tundra, with crumbling mountains and sparse dwarf plants. The subarctic environment is very vulnerable, so don't disturb the plants.
