If you are looking for a vacation to stand out from all the others, you have found it. Cruises to Scandinavia have something for everybody and they are filled with excitement and adventure.
One interesting celebration is a festival held in the Arctic once a year, in honor of the first sunrise of the season. This Northern Lights Festival is a combination of music, art, and culture, with a large amount of sheer joy mixed in. What a setting for a wedding, a vow renewal, an engagement, or a birthday!

What would you have if you combined these two? You'd have the most popular cruises
in Norway on working ships, the Norwegian Coastal Steamer, considered to be

The
Norway Coastal Voyages on the famous
Norwegian Coastal Steamer is one of the most
popular and enjoyable cruises in Scandinavia. Enjoy the mountains, waterfalls, fjords and historic villages as you cruise
along the west coast of Norway. During the cruise, the ship's crew will be providing local transportation to the residents of the villages. Supplies,
cargo and mail will be off-loaded in the towns, and residents will board and travel to other towns for appointments or to visit friends. As an added bonus for you, you can meet and interact with the
local people, as well as travelers from all over the world, experiencing the true
Norway.
Arctic Expeditions and Explorer
Cruises
Greenland's arctic wilderness and Arctic coastlines offer some of
the most spectacular and unspoiled scenery and wildlife experiences in the
world. The largest island on the planet, its frozen coastline has witnessed
the birth of some of nature's most breathtaking creations. Visitors to the
region can witness enormous colonies of seabirds thronging the cliffs and
shores, and enjoy the thrilling antics of whales and dolphins at sea and
seals and Walrus hauled out on the rocks and ice floes. The lucky may even
encounter the very symbol of the Arctic - the Polar Bear. The struggle for
survival has engendered mankind with a healthy respect for his environment
and we witness the quite unique interaction of man and nature as we sail
through a landscape rich in culture, history and spectacular wildlife, into
the northern lands of the midnight sun and
Northern Lights, the Aurora Boeralis.
Spitsbergen Travel and
Cruises
The Norwegian name for this archipelago including
Bear Island and
Jan Mayen is Svalbard. However it is usually known as
Spitsbergen. Covering an area almost as big as the Republic of
Ireland, Spitsbergen with its population of 3,500 in five settlements is
still today virtually unspoiled wilderness.
With its rugged mountains, sweeping tundra, ice caps and glaciers, it is a
true High Arctic archipelago, and only 600 miles from the North Pole.
Its abundant wildlife was once a huge draw for
whalers and trappers but now discerning visitors are discovering the
attractions of huge Arctic seabird colonies and the chance to enjoy and
photograph species like Walrus, Reindeer, Arctic Fox and of course, Polar
Bear.
