Ships passing in the night

Whilst we have been enjoying our cruise south, a Norwegian television company had been filming and broadcasting live the voyage of another Hurtigruten ship, MS Nordnorge, north from Bergen to Kirkenes. This live broadcast had proven to be immensly popular with the Norwegian public. We were scheduled to pass the MS Nordnorge at around 21.00 and we were all encouraged to congregate on the sundeck to wave.

Breakfast at the North Cape

We had booked four off-ship excursions as part of our cruise; the first being breakfast at the North Cape (the most northly place in Europe), Unfortunately, this involved waking up at 5am which was a bit of a struggle!
