description
Kirkenes has most of the services a small town normally offers. This is the start/stop point for the Hurtigruten and Kystruten round trip from Bergen. It is possible to use the café or restaurants on board when they are docked here.
Short distance to the airport with direct routes to Oslo several times daily.
This is the only dock Kirkenes harbor offers for guest boats. One must contact the harbor office (see their website) to get permission. Payment via posted QR code and Vipps. There is no electricity or water at the dock, but it is possible to fetch drinking water in cans from a tap on the wall of the blue house above the dock. The gate to the dock is locked by the fire department at night. Contact the harbor watch to have the door unlocked. The number is on the gate.
The approach is simple and has good depth. There can be some current along the shore. Northern and eastern winds quickly bring some waves. This is a harbor one does not stay in for long. With moderate winds from the north and east, one should find a place in the small boat harbor inside Presteøya, further east. It should be possible to anchor there.
