As we set sail north toward Skjervøy, enjoy majestic views of the Lyngen Alps rising from the sea.

After visiting Hammerfest and passing Havøysund’s wind farm, arrive in Honningsvåg mid-morning to access the iconic North Cape globe monument at the edge of continental Europe. Continue past the ancient Sámi sacrificial rock formation at Finnkirka, spot traditional cod-drying racks in Mehamn, and marvel at the remote Slettnes Lighthouse—the northernmost mainland lighthouse on Earth—as you sail toward Berlevåg.
