Voyage Overview
Destination Highlight
Sitting between Helsinki and Moscow, Kirkenes is a multicultural town, with residents speaking Norwegian, Finnish, Sami and Russian. Though a mining town, Kirkenes offers so much more, including dog sledding, snowscooter safaris, viewing the arctic scenery and Northern lights and fishing for king crab, halibut, or salmon in the Arctic.
About the Ship
MS Nordnorge is named after ‘northern Norway’, which consists of the two northernmost counties, Nordland and Troms & Finnmark. The ship is particularly famous for Norwegians, who may recognize it from a TV show when its voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes was broadcast live for 134 hours, non-stop. The show entered the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest uninterrupted live television documentary.
