Captain’s Cabin is available for accommodation and events in Gratangen, southern Troms, Norway.
It is equipped with two beds in a large studio-space layout (no bedrooms); a bathroom with shower is behind the open-plan kitchen, which is well-equipped to cater for anything from 2 to 20 people. Parking is available at the upper carpark, a moderately steep walk up a small driveway. Please talk to us first if you have mobility issues. The cabin has wifi (50Mbps) and a television.
We have a 2-night minimum stay, which you can book on Airbnb, for around NOK1,000 per night.
For longer stays you can check availability on the Airbnb calendar and then email us to book directly at a special rate. We’re volunteer-run and so income goes to support this, the local community’s house and occasional pub-café.

Getting Here:
Here in the rapidly melting Arctic we highly encourage sustainable travel. Morgans Skip (and the Cabin) can be reached almost emissions-free by train from Europe! Please take SJ from Berlin, Snälltåget from Berlin or Innsbruck, or the new Nachtexpress from Basel, to Sweden via Hamburg then from Stockholm SJ runs two trains per evening for the extraordinary journey to Narvik in the Arctic. The entire journey (in couchette or sleeper) is particularly inexpensive if you buy an Interrail or Eurail 5 day global pass (2 pass ‘days’ up; 3 days back). If you catch the 6pm train from Stockholm you should make the 13:08 bus Nº100 (Svipper) from Bromsgård (above Narvik Railway Station) to Grøsnesvika, Gratangen (in Troms). Credit cards are accepted on the bus. There are return connections to Narvik at 08:40am on working days; and a bus at 6pm most Sundays. Or you can hire a car from Hertz and others in Narvik (but e-cars will need to bring their own 25m cable if they wish to recharge at the Cabin). Nearest ports for the The Norwegian Coastal Express (operated by Hurtigruten and also by Havila) are Harstad or Finnsnes.
Facilities:
Nearest supermarket is Spar in Årstein, and locals will help you with shopping trips if needed. There’s a restaurant at Foldvik Brygge.
There is 4G mobile connectivity. Please see Yr for weather and aurora (northern lights) forecasts and Norgeskart for maps of walks etc.
A beautiful sauna is located in Gratangsbotn. Nordsiveien is a superb bicycle riding environment and roads are ploughed in winter (winter tyres are necessary for around 6 months of the year).
