Additional Details:
Care North is the most northern point of Europe and is a great vantage point for tourists from Hammerfest to see the Midnight Sun. From May 11th to July 30th the wonderful phenomenon of an endless day with a brilliant sun at midnight is visible and it is an awe inspiring moment when the traveler stands on the deck of the Steamer at the stroke of 12, and gazes northward upon the midnight sun. the voyage from hammer fest to Cape North occupies about eight days for the round trip and is a most charming excursion as the mountainous coast of Northern Norway affords beautiful scenery
