From Nordkapp to the Russian Border My Arctic Hurtigruten Experience
Day 2 of my Hurtigruten Arctic voyage takes us to the top of Europe—Nordkapp—and all the way to the Russian border! After a night of calm sailing (and finally beating seasickness), we dock in Honningsvåg, the gateway to Nordkapp. From there, it’s a short ride to the famous North Cape (71°10′N), one of the northernmost points in Europe. But the adventure doesn’t stop there! We continue our journey on Hurtigruten to Kirkenes, right on the edge of Norway, just a few kilometers from Russia. Here, I join the Barents Sea Safari, a thrilling river boat ride that takes us right to the Russian border—so close, yet completely forbidden to cross. This Arctic experience is raw, wild, and nothing like a typical cruise. From dramatic landscapes to mysterious borders, this day had everything. ????
