North Cape

The Port of North Cape manages three ports in Northern Norway: Honningsvåg/North Cape, Lakselv, and Kjøllefjord.

Honningsvåg/NC is one of Norway's busiest cruise ports, expecting 173 cruise calls and around 200,000 passengers in 2024. This year-round destination features the North Cape, Europe’s northernmost point. In summer, it bathes in the Midnight Sun, while the Northern Lights season begins in September and lasts seven months. The area is rich in natural wonders.

Lakselv is a Turn Around port for expedition-sized ships, offering anchoring or SeaWalk docking. This off-the-beaten-track destination welcomed its first call in 2024 and will handle its first Turn Around in October 2024. Visitors can experience Sami culture, private islands, and untouched nature.

Kjøllefjord is a picturesque fishing village, just a two-hour sail from North Cape. Its famous Finnkirka sea cliff, resembling a church, is a top spot for sightseeing and photography. Norwegian coastal route calls here daily.
