WELCOME TO NORDKAPP
Breathtaking scenery, picturesque fishing villages and the captivating light of the Arctic.
Get ready for the stunning journey to the extreme north of Europe.
Get ready for Nordkapp - a monumental cliff plunging into the endless Arctic Ocean.
This is the adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy the northern lights and the soft glow of the
midnight sun. Engage in exciting activities and explore spectacular nature.
Visit the northernmost of continental Europe - visit Nordkapp.
Nordkapp is the great journey for all
travelers. In previous centuries a journey for
explorers and expeditions, today a major
destination for visitors from all over the
world. The steep mountain cliff rises
majestically from the Arctic Ocean, and
marks the end point of the European
mainland. Frozen shores and snow-capped
mountains in winter, a coastline rich in
wildlife and history. Endless daylight and
haunting landscapes in summer. The journey
to Nordkapp is unforgettable, and in 1664
described as the journey to the end of the
known world. And at the very edge of
continental Europe you reach the globe. This
is where Europe ends and the endless
begins.
Book your adventure,
accommodation and
journey on:
www.nordkapp.no
Explore the island of Magerøya. Join in the
hunt for King crabs, discover the Arctic by
sea rafting or a snowmobile safari, and visit
one of Europe’s largest colony of seabirds.
Travel through spectacular scenery, visit
picturesque fishing villages and become
acquainted with the culture of Northern
Norway. Visit the Arctico Ice Bar, the local art
gallery and enjoy from the Arctic kitchen with
fresh produce from the Barents Sea. Learn
the history of the land and ocean through
museums and exhibitions. Watch the soft veil
of polar twilight in winter and go hiking in
Arctic wilderness in summer.
The municipality of Nordkapp has 3.300
inhabitants and consists of five fishing
villages and the administration center
Honningsvåg. Honningsvåg is a modern town
with shopping, activities and restaurants,
several hotels and sights of interest.
Travelling here is easy. You can go by car,
bus, boat or bike. Or you can fly.
Communications are excellent with a subsea
tunnel connecting Magerøya and the
mainland, a commercial airport and the
coastal express Hurtigruten making port of
calls daily.
The port of Honningsvåg is the gateway to
Nordkapp. As the largest cruise port in
Northern Norway with more than 100 cruise
ships during summer, it offers ideal
conditions for large vessels. With its deep
water harbor and good infrastructure, it is
able to berth four cruise ships simultaneously.
The port is in walking distance to the town
center, shopping and sights. The harbor is
always free of ice making it perfect for any
vessel in winter. The arctic winter is a unique
experience. Endless white plains, blue skies
and the unforgettable expedition to the
northernmost of European mainland.
Welcome to Nordkapp - to the end of a
continent and the beginning of an adventure!

1694, and we give interesting information about this place. 200 years ago, Kjelvik was the

Before 1882 the only church in the municipality was located here, but when the church was
destroyed by a winter storm it was decided not to rebuild it. Instead a new church was built
in Honningsvåg. This was finished in 1885, today the oldest building on the island.
Back in Honningsvag we will go to Artico Ice Bar, a Bar made of ice and snow located in the
harbor, where the clients will be shown a short movie presentation about how the ice bar is
made every year before going in. Once inside they will be served two soft drinks in ice glasses.
