Thanks, we were so lucky to see them over a number of nights but they were definitely at their best when these photos were taken.

At Stokmarknes we visited the Coastal Express Museum. The main attraction is a Hurtigruten ship, MS Finnmarken which was built in 1956 and was used until 1994. You are able to explore all over the ship to see all the different areas. I certainly appreciate how much nicer the Havila Castor is now. If you are travelling on Havila or Hurtigruten you get a discount entrance fee of 100krone ($15AUD) instead of the usual price of 190krone. It is definitely worth hoping off your ship for a visit.

The coast of Norway is absolutely beautiful and it is such a nice relaxing trip watching it pass by.



During winter the ship is unable to pass through Trollfjord as it is really narrow and can have avalanches that would be unavoidable. The captain did however sail close by the entrance so we could see some of its beauty.
