HURTIGRUTEN ARCTIC CRUISE DAY 1: TROMSØ
Board your Northern Lights Cruise ship in the afternoon in Tromsø and begin your Arctic Cruise north. Keep your eyes peeled to the skies to look for the Northern Lights as you head towards Honningsvåg. (D)
HURTIGRUTEN ARCTIC CRUISE DAY 2: HAMMERFEST, HONNINGSVÅG
After an early morning stop at Hammerfest, your Hurtigruten Cruise arrives in Honningsvåg mid-morning where you can join an optional excursion to mainland Europe’s most northerly point – the North Cape. This is a wild and windswept headland where the cliffs rise dramatically 300 metres from the sea and you gaze out with nothing but water between you and the frozen waters surrounding the North Pole.

HURTIGRUTEN ARCTIC CRUISE DAY 3: KIRKENES
Next on your Hurtigruten Cruise, you turn east to reach the sheltered harbour of Kirkenes, only 10km from the Russian border, and the turning point for your Arctic Cruise. This fascinating town allows a tantalising glimpse into life in this remote region of Norway. In Kirkenes you can visit the border with Russia, try your hand at snowmobiling or enjoy a visit to the Snow Hotel. Later in the day you depart Kirkenes returning south towards Tromsø. (B, D)
HURTIGRUTEN ARCTIC CRUISE DAY 4: HAMMERFEST - TROMSØ
Hugging the coastline you revisit remote settlements which rely on the Hurtigruten Cruise ships to maintain contact with the rest of Norway, particularly in winter. Hammerfest, the world’s most northerly town is your first major port of call before reaching Tromsø late in the evening. Transfer to your centrally located hotel for an overnight stay.
