North Cape Popular as a summer cruise destination due to the midnight sun, North Cape is now welcoming a growing number of calls in the winter season, when guests can enjoy quieter and more authentic Arctic experiences. Ships dock in the centre of Honningsvåg, allowing guests to step ashore into a coastal town that remains lively throughout the year. Since 2020, local youths have welcomed winter cruise guests, sharing maps and inviting them to take part in activities such as kicksledge driving and snowball throwing. Located around 2.5 hours east of North Cape by sea is Kjøllefjord, a new sheltered, year-round destination for small and expedition cruise ships. Activity highlights include snowmobile safaris and cultural visits with Sámi families.
