Reine is a tiny Arctic fishing village that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. Crimson rorbuer (fishermen’s cabins) dot the shores, backed by jagged peaks rising straight from emerald fjords. This isn’t just a scenic cruise stop—it’s an invitation to slow down. Kayak through glassy waters, hike Reinebringen for jaw-dropping views, or simply sit on a dock with fresh cod and let the silence speak. Northern Lights in winter, midnight sun in summer—Reine is proof that small ports can hold massive wonder.
