Why not celebrate a traditional Christmas in Norway and enter the New Year on board the Norwegian Coastal Steamer?
This is truly an exotic journey! From Bergen in the south to the North Cape and Kirkenes in the north you will be surrounded by breathtaking nature. You will see the sky as you never have seen it before; As you pass the Arctic Circle, the sky is simply dark, starry and vast  as the sun remains below the horizon at this time of year.
