About this excursion

You'll travel by bus above the 71st parallel to the North Cape, where dramatic cliffs rise 307 m above the Arctic Ocean at the northern edge of continental Europe.

Take in the breathtaking Arctic scenery as you gaze toward the North Pole from one of Europe’s most iconic landmarks.

In summer, you may spot herds of reindeer grazing across the nearby plateaus. During winter, the snow-covered landscape glows beneath the soft Arctic light.

Don't miss the opportunity to take a photo at the famous globe monument.

At North Cape Hall, you can watch a spectacular panoramic film showcasing the region throughout the seasons, explore exhibits in the underground tunnel, visit the world’s northernmost chapel, browse the museum, and shop for souvenirs.
