Hammerfest Cruise Holidays

Cruises to Hammerfest take you hundreds of miles beyond the Arctic Circle to the world’s northernmost town. Hammerfest features in the most adventurous Norwegian Fjord cruise itineraries, being within striking distance of the legendary North Cape. The chief appeal of a cruise to Hammerfest is the magnificent scenery on the way. Hammerfest cruise ships will have visited enjoyable cities like Bergen and Trondheim, called at magnificent Norway Fjord locations like Geiranger and Flam, and experienced the magnificent Lofoten Islands. Nevertheless, this attractively sleepy town with its colourful houses and pretty harbour has enough to interest the short-term cruise visitor. Hammerfest cruise excursions focus on boat trips, fishing villages, reindeer spotting and Sami (Lapp) culture. Find a Hammerfest cruise to suit your budget with our online cruise search.

 

Hammerfest cruise ships dock close to the centre of town. Passengers should head for the main Strandgata shopping street and the quayside food stalls and market. Low-key Hammerfest attractions include local museums, an unusual 1960’s Lutheran church and the HQ of the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society. A longer Hammerfest cruise visit could include longer waterfront walks and the short climb to Salen Hill for fine views. Spectacular sea fishing and the world’s northernmost golf course might tempt you to choose a Hammerfest cruise & stay holiday. Hammerfest cruises between mid May and late July enjoy 24 hour daylight and the memorable sight of the Midnight Sun. Find your ideal Hammerfest cruise with directline-cruises.
