Alta is a town in northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle. It is often used on cruise itineraries for winter scenery, the northern lights and access to Finnmark’s wide-open landscapes. The town is known for the Northern Lights Cathedral, the Alta Museum and nearby rock carvings, which are recognised by UNESCO. Depending on the season, visitors may take excursions linked with Sami culture, husky sledging, snow landscapes or Arctic viewpoints. In summer, long daylight changes the feel completely. Alta suits passengers who want a northern Norwegian call with history, culture and a clear Arctic setting.
