north cape cruise via Honningsvag

The port of Honningsvåg, the northernmost city in Norway, is a charming MSC Northern Europe Cruises destination. The town is celebrated for its pretty churches, charming harbour, and nearby natural wonders.

MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including:

• The North Cape Experience
• King Crab Tasting
• Photo Safari on Magerøya Island

North Cape, a dreamlike destination that inspires deep contemplation, is an unmissable experience. On an MSC Cruises excursion, you’ll see spectacular landscapes marked by barren tundra, majestic mountains, steep cliffs, and birch trees. Travel north to Magerøya Island which overlooks the atmospheric Barents Sea. Visit the North Cape Pavilion and pick up an electrically assisted Pedelec bicycle to further enjoy the scenery.

Lovers of seafood can enjoy a culinary experience on an MSC Cruises excursion. Take a brief walk to the North Cape Adventure Centre where you’ll take a RIB-boat cruise to stunning Sarnesfjord. At a traditional tent camp, you’ll savour delicious and succulent king crab — a large crustacean that lives in the depths of the Arctic ocean. Considered a delicacy, king crabs can weigh as much as 10 kilos and measure up to 2 metres in diameter!

Enjoy a safari to Magerøya Island on an MSC Cruises excursion. Immerse yourself in the beauty of this wild and remote landscape, aided by a guide who specialises in outdoors photography. Take a scenic ride to a fishing village to take snapshots of the North Cape plateau. Keep your eyes peeled for reindeer and eagles on this unforgettable tour.
