  • This port report is from Honningsvåg Norway, where we sailed with Holland America Cruise Line. We cover the port basics and our experience touring this amazing place, the land of the midnight sun! Honningsvåg is a small town on the island on the island of Magerøya. It’s not just a jumping off point to the North Cape, but also bird watching at Gjesvaertappan Nature Reserve and The North Cape Museum. The Sami people and reindeer are also principal parts of the culture here and there’s of opportunity to explore both! Let’s get the lowdown!

    The Port Lowdown offers detailed and fun video guides for cruise ports and destinations, helping independent, budget-minded travelers save time and money. We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!

    Great video...thank you! Do you know if there is a simple public transport to North Cape? I'm not averse to paying for a tour, but if there is a direct bus that avoids unneeded stops I'd prefer that. Cheers! BTW...new subscriber as well. I've watch all of your Norway videos since I'm a mere 10 days away from Land of the Midnight Sun cruise. 🙂

      Wow! First, thanks for the kind words. It means alot that our videos are helping!
      As far as simple and direct, that's iffy. Some say the local bus isn't doing the loop route to North Cape anymore and was turned into a local tour. I would start with the official tourist board website.

      Of the options I mentioned in the video, I'd lean back to a tour for time reasons. I may also investigate the car rental, but the tours have the North Cape entrance price bundled in. A toss up. Hope that can at least get you started.
      Best to you!

    Hi, very beautiful video! I'm sorry for my english.
    Me and my wife will be in Honningsvag in August with a cruise. Because i've a big and heavy electric wheelchair, i need a van for disabled people to go to visit Nort Cape and return. I need to stay always upon my wheelchair. Do you know if there are these facilyties?

      Thank you! The path leading to the edge with the view is full of gravel and will be difficult to get to on a chair. The visitors center has facilities for wheelchairs. Check out tours that serve wheelchair visitors. Best to you!
