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.

"Our consultant was fantastic to deal with - always extremely friendly, always listened and wanted to get it right for us. Communication was always excellent with the Concierge, too. The trip worked really well. We loved all the different hotels we stayed in and the absolute highlight of the trip was Svalbard."

"We loved the trip. Norway is so beautiful, the hotels were full of character, the food was great and we did some really fun activities. Our teenage children loved the activities, with canyoning being a particular highlight. It also really helped that our consultant had just been there, as we spent just the right amount of time in each place. The app worked really well, and I liked the suggestions in the Dossiers."

"Just home from the most incredible trip to Northern Norway. We had it all from clear skies and bright sunshine to full snowstorms, and saw plenty of the northern lights. Thank you again to The Voyageurs Collection for organising such an incredible experience for us."
