Overview
The Kong Harald provides cargo and passenger service from Bergen in southern Norway to Kirkenes in the far north, and 35 ports in between. Although most passengers opt for the 24-hour daylight of mid-May to July, December and January are great times to view the northern lights if you don't mind the dark.
