NORDKAP 2 – Kirkenes to Hammerfest – PO-22-05-2027-R

Just before the Russian border and way up in the far north of Europe lies the small town of Kirkenes. From here our trip through the Arctic Ocean and past the legendary North Cape begins. Through the partly open sea areas but also narrow channels and fjords of northern Norway, we first head eastwards. We make various stops in mostly smaller harbours or spend the night at anchor in the open countryside. In Honningsvåg we'll then tie up for two days to visit the North Cape by land from here. After 12 days we finally reach Hammerfest, which by its own account is the northernmost town in the world. A centre north of the Arctic Circle that's both well worth seeing and lively. From here you'll begin your homeward journey by flight via Oslo or Tromsø. Book your bunk or cabin now and experience this extraordinary adventure on our exclusively equipped expedition yacht POLARIS.

Expected trip itinerary:

We sail with POLARIS from Kirkenes through the open polar seas and through the winding channels and fjords of northern Norway towards the North Cape. On numerous stops amidst the fascinatingly beautiful landscape of Norway, you'll experience Nordic nature and way of life first-hand. We finally reach Hammerfest, a centre of the north and at the same time the northernmost town in the world. From here you'll travel comfortably by flight via Oslo or Tromsø back to Germany. Depending on the weather and schedule, it may be necessary to cover longer sections of the journey under engine. Total distance: approx. 250 nautical miles.

This extraordinary trip will be led by one of our experienced professional skippers.
