Leknes

Voted by Nathional Geographic as one of the most appealing destinations in the world, Lofoten is an Arctic island group that has been a cruise destination since 1889. Recent years have seen an annual average of 100 cruise calls as well as expansion into a winter cruise season. The landscape is striking in its variety: wildly beautiful places of marsh and rock, green fields and still lakes, dramatic mountains and white sand beaches.
Lofoten is dotted with picturesque villages and fish-drying racks, as stockfish – dried cod – has been the main export since the Middle Ages. The five main islands are linked by road and you can easily cross all five and return in a day. Passengers can also disembark at one port and rejoin the ship at another. Various national and international publications have named different places in Lofoten “the most beautiful beach in Norway”, “the most beautiful islands in the world” and “the most beautiful view in the world”
