Honningsvag Cruise Guide
Home to just 2,500 permanent inhabitants, Honningsvåg is primarily a fishing community, characterised by brightly painted wooden buildings, but the summer months draw cruise ships aplenty, and the local population grows by 500 to help cater for these.
It is further from Norwegian capital Oslo than it is from the North Pole itself, which lies a little over 2,100km (1304 miles) away.
Sightseeing
The North Cape's Midnight Sun is rightly famous - the sun never rises in winter, nor sets in midsummer. From Honningsvag, the North Cape is just 34km (21 miles) away.
Highlights
• Fjords and waterfalls
• Duken Mountain
