Melbu

Among the communities of Nordland, Melbu stands out for its maritime heritage on Hadseløya, one of the islands of Vesterålen. The settlement faces Hadselfjorden, with ferry connections linking it to Fiskebøl in Lofoten. Melbu is home to the Hurtigruten Museum, centred on MS Finnmarken, a former coastal express ship built in 1956. Its preservation reflects the importance of Hurtigruten shipping to communities along Norway’s long, island-fringed coast.
