Summary
Nestled in Norway’s far north, Kirkenes lies along the beautiful shoreline of Bok fjord. The final stop on the country’s Hurtigruten ferry cruise liner, the summer months offer plenty of opportunities to sail the waters of the fjord, slip into its shallows on the hunt for king crab, or experience the midnight sun. But situated above the Arctic Circle, winter provides the chance to witness the Northern Lights, ride snowmobiles across the Norwegian tundra, and spend a night in the incredible Snowhotell Kirkenes, as well as discover a history which includes an epic World War II battle for survival and Sami culture difficult to find elsewhere in Norway.
