Experiencing Norway's magical Northern Lights, landscapes and traditions during the polar winter is enhanced by Norwegian Coastal Voyage's new and unique air-inclusive winter program of theme cruises, Arctic adventures and special events, detailed in a new 36-page brochure, "In Search of the Northern Lights.
The sailings take in Norway's spectacular west coast, Norwegian Lapland, and for the first time in winter season, the Lofoten Islands and remote Spitsbergen in the Arctic region.
"Most people don't realize this time of year offers a completely different perspective on this stunning landscape. The colors in the sky, the twinkling lights of villages, the luminesence coming off the snow and the warm-hearted greetings from the locals all contribute to a vacation unlike any taken in the past," states Hans Rood, president of NCV.
Choices ranging from whale, dog sledge and snowmobile safaris to watercolor painting, digital photography and choir theme cruises; from family departures to special events and holidays such as Lapland's Sami Easter Festival, Spitsbergen's Return of the Sun Festival, Tromso's Northern Lights Festival, and Christmas and New Year's.
