Christmas in Norway is the holiday equivalent to a warming cup of cocoa. It’s a magical time of the year to visit the country, with Arctic adventures galore – think snowmobiling, ice fishing on frozen lakes and dog sledding through snow-dusted forests. If you’re after a peaceful Christmas in Norway, hunker down in a cosy hotel in Bergen; home to a magical Christmas market and the world’s largest gingerbread town, or head to Oslo for restaurants that glow under twinkly lights, ice skating rinks, Christmas concerts, and theatre shows. If you’ve got children in tow, don’t miss the chance to go hunting for the Northern Lights, or strap on a pair of snowshoes to hike through snowy forests, before warming up with a hearty lunch around a crackling fire.

"Fabulous Concierge. When our internal flight was rerouted, she stayed in telephone contact even though her working hours had ended to ensure we got to our destination successfully."

"Your team were really helpful, provided good advice and listened to our brief. All contacts were excellent. Of the excursions, the dog sledding, the snow scooter journey and exploring on snowshoes trips were particularly memorable. "

"Emily was incredibly helpful in suggesting an itinerary which met our needs and sorted everything out. She was also brilliant when I had to query our options to rebook (due to a family medical emergency). Thankfully, we didn't need to do this in the end, but Emily's assistance during a tricky time was much appreciated. Everything was great, too many great moments to mention. Good of the team to arrange for the Northern Lights to appear though!"
