This is an optional land excursion which you can add to your Hurtigruten cruise booked through Fjord Travel Norway. The land excursion will appear during the cruise booking process, with prices and details.


Reindeer in Arctic Norway by Simen G Fangel, Hurtigruten

Reindeer

In summer, you might come across herds of grazing reindeer and a small camp belonging to the Sami people, indigenous to this part of the world. In winter, the endless white plains and snow-capped mountains are highlighted by the dramatic weather and that special arctic light. The last part before reaching the cape, the bus must follow the snow plough.
The North Cape plateau itself rises 307 m almost vertically from the ice cold Arctic Ocean. Enjoy the spectacular view, but don’t forget to get some photographic evidence of this amazing place. After all, you can’t get any further north in mainland Europe!

The tour includes a visit to the North Cape Hall, a modern centre where you can see an impressive 180 degree panoramic film about Finnmark and the North Cape, buy souvenirs, send postcards and relax whilst enjoying a bite to eat.

What our customers say:

  • Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.

  • We just recently completed the Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour. I am writing to say what an amazing tour we had. Everything ran smoothly without an issue, the accommodation was fantastic and the tours were brilliant. We cannot fault the package at all. I would also like to thank Franziska and Lene, they both were fantastic in answering all my questions promptly, whilst booking the tour. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable holiday!

  • I wanted to thank everybody. We had a wonderful trip. Everything went well and fortunately we had the chance to see the lights while on the cruise. All my friends in Turkey would like to go on a similar trip. So I will be in touch with you. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.
