  • Further information

  • Honningsvag is Europe’s most northerly fishing village, with picturesque scenery and the cliffs of the North Cape. Marvel at the midnight sun in summer or the Northern Lights in winter. From here, visit the Nordkapp or North Cape, with its visitor centre bearing the same name. Its breathtaking natural scenery and Arctic atmosphere make Honningsvag a truly unforgettable experience.

  • Tromso, the capital of the north, offers a unique mix of natural wonders and urban charm. In clear conditions you can see the amazing Northern Lights, or simply explore the picturesque fjords and with luck see some majestic whales. Visit the Polar Museum where you can gain some insights into the history and culture of the Arctic. Tromso is a popular place with students, who come for the adventure opportunities and beauty, which will soon draw you under their Nordic spell.
  • Discover picturesque fishing villages like Henningsvaer or go for a hike in the surrounding mountains to enjoy the spectacular views. Visit the Lofoten Museum to find out more about the history and culture of the region. Svolvaer is the ideal starting point for discovering the natural beauty of the Lofoten Islands.
  • In Geiranger, you can expect breathtaking fjords and spectacular scenery. As you enter and leave the fjord on the ship, you will be able to admire its majestic waterfalls, the Seven Sisters and the Bridal Veil opposite. Take a bus tour to climb up the Dalsnibba and enjoy the breathtaking views from the top. Or go on an unforgettable hike to the Flydalsjuvet viewpoint for some unique photo opportunities. Geiranger is a paradise for nature lovers and offers a variety of outdoor activities and impressive panoramas to marvel at.
  • From impressive fjords, such as the Lysefjord with its steep cliffs, to idyllic sandy beaches along the coast – there is plenty for nature lovers to explore here. Discover the famous Preikestolen or Pulpit Rock, an impressive overhanging rock with spectacular views, or venture onto the Kjeragbolten, a rock suspended between two cliffs. Go hiking, kayaking or simply enjoy the fresh sea breeze – the great outdoors is a real treasure chest in Stavanger.
