This is news that gets a touring lover's heart racing. Nordkapp is basically sacred ground for us. If you could sail straight to Scandinavia by sea instead of grinding out endless miles across the mainland, it would completely change how you plan a trip. Less strain from travel means more room left over to actually savor the scenery. I really hope this comes to fruition.

Once you factor in the ferry fare, I wonder which ends up cheaper compared to going by road.

I remember this ferry route existing before, guess it got discontinued. Great news that it's coming back.

A touring trip to the northernmost tip of Scandinavia, that's a once-in-a-lifetime ride I'd love to do.

If the direct route from Newcastle comes back, the whole trip to North Cape gets way shorter. Makes me want to go.

It's still just at the planning stage, so I don't think we can relax until it's actually up and running.
