Martin Clarkson visits Honningsvåg and the North Cape for Doris Visits from the Havila Capella. All the Havila ships, like the sister ship the Polaris seen on our Havila ship tour along with the Capella, stop here. It is near the Russian border, but more importantly it is the most Northern tip of Europe.

The Balmoral may no longer sail into Honninsvag, but it is caught there on the interesting drone film below. A wonderful overview of the cruise destination by low flying DRONE. This is a busy fishing village and the things on offer to see are.
Research tours where you can, then decide which ones you might take.
