The North Cape - Barren and cold but spectacular!





























Last night over 400 guests visited the North Cape - the northernmost point of continental Europe. The landscape was awesome, barren and majestic. The excursion takes our guests from Honningsvag for a drive along the rugged coastline, we made a photo stop to see the horn and continued on to a small Sami camp. After leaving the Sami camp we headed to the North Cape Centre where our guests enjoyed a spectacular film show depicted the North Cape through the four seasons, some indulged in a glass of Champagne at the grotto and at midnight we rushed out to the Globe viewpoint to gaze across the Arctic Ocean and attempt to see the Midnight Sun. Ok, last night we were unlucky - but, in true Page & Moy and Travelsphere style we still had great fun with our very own Viking aka our Cruise Director Barry Summers posing for photographs with many of our guests.
