Honningsvåg, Norway

North Cape by Air

Witness a Spectacular Arctic Landscape on a Champagne Flight See where the Atlantic meets the Arctic Ocean on this unforgettable helicopter flight over the North Cape. After, toast your milestone journey with some champagne and caviar. The North Cape lies within the Arctic Circle at the tip of stunning Magerøy Island, and is considered the northernmost point of Europe. The island’s name comes from the Sami word makkaravjo , meaning “steep, barren coast”; you will see why as you soar above the 1,000-foot-high North Cape plateau with its famous globe monument that faces out to the sea. Flying above the island, enjoy a bird’s-eye view of rugged headlands housing more than 200 species of flora, colorful fishing villages, bird rookeries and the main city of Honningsvåg. Hear about the region’s history, including the Viking age and the island’s important role during World War II. Back on terra firma, celebrate with champagne and caviar and receive your North Cape certificate before flying back to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
