Visit the North Cape Plateau/Cruising

Ports: Hammerfest - Havoysund - Honningsvag - Kjollefjord - Mehamn - Berlevag

As far north as you can get - by land and sea. For many, a visit to the North Cape is a high point and a goal for voyages along the Norwegian coast.

Up here in the polar landscape, nature is at its harshest and most desolate, but between bare plains and rugged cliffs, people cling on and reap nature's bounty. Our recommended excursion for today is

North Cape plateau

Disembarkation port: Honningsvag

Embarkation port: Honningsvag

Time: 11:30-14:30

Season: All year round

Wear comfortable shoes and warm, windproof clothing.

People come here from all over the world to experience being so far north. The iconic globe has become the symbol of the North Cape and is also a popular photo stop.

On the North, Cape is also the North Cape Hall, partly built into the mountain cliff, where you will find a restaurant with endless views, a souvenir shop in the mountain wall, a chapel, and a Thai museum. A 180-degree wide-screen film screening of the North Cape throughout the four seasons is a must-see.


The excursion to the North Cape also takes you through a wide, barren landscape with rocks and hardy, low-growing vegetation. In the summer, you can see reindeer herds on the plateau. In winter, the snow ploughs' battles against the snow can be an equally impressive sight. At the ends of the earth.

The North Cape plateau rises a steep 307 meters straight up from the Arctic Ocean. You are standing on the European continent?s most northerly point, looking out across a horizon so long that you can see the Earth's curve.

Keep a lookout, as the northern lights can be experienced anytime from late evening onwards.
