Stokmarknes

Stokmarknes occupies the northern shore of Hadseløya beside Hadselfjorden, in Nordland’s Vesterålen archipelago. The town is closely tied to Hurtigruten: shipping pioneer Richard With established the coastal express route from here in 1893. Its maritime story is presented at the Hurtigruten Museum, where the retired ship MS Finnmarken is preserved within a purpose-built museum building. Ferries, bridges and roads connect Stokmarknes with neighbouring islands, while the fjord remains central to local life and travel.
