Norwegian operator Hurtigruten has revealed that its best selling excursion of 2012 was its voyage to the North Cape, a trip described as a visit to ‘the end of the world’.
Overall the line took 54,000 passengers to the Norwegian attraction last year, which is famous for its rock formations that act as a viewing platform for the famous midnight sun.
The line offered two excursions to the Cape including the ‘North Cape’, priced at GBP98 per person and ‘Breakfast at the North Cape’ which comes in at GBP129 per person. Both excursions centre on the 307-metre plateau which rises out of the Arctic Ocean.
The line also confirmed that visits to the city of Tromsø’s ‘midnight concert in the Arctic Cathedral’ and ‘A Taste of Vesteralen’ were the second and third most popular excursions respectively.
Hurtigruten also recently announced that it would be launching a land programme, developed with its subsidiary, Spitsbergen Travel.
