Making the most of Traena
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
Located well above the Arctic Circle, Træna is a tiny port village in Nordland county, northern Norway, on Husøya Island in Træna Municipality.
Rather than a major commercial terminal like those in larger cities, Træna is a coastal fishing port used by some expedition, regional and Hurtigruten-style cruises.
Depth and space restrictions mean many cruise lines anchor offshore and tender passengers ashore.
Sightseeing
Træna is celebrated for Arctic natural beauty, rugged islands and a traditional fishing culture.
After landing on Husøya, explore the very walkable port area on foot, including the waterfront, local cafés and small village.
Money
Norway uses the Norwegian crown (norske krone), abbreviated kr; one krone contains a 1/100th krone called øre. 1.00 EUR = about 8 NOK.
