Spitsbergen Christmas or New Years
3 days / 2 nights, Longyearbyen - Svalbard | Celebrate a unique Christmas or New Years in Longyearbyen. Welcome to our Arctic Christmas celebrations!
Enjoy great food and company under the Northern Lights. Forget all about stress and busy, numerous Christmas preparations. At Spitsbergen you may allow yourself to let the Christmas spirit settle in while you enjoy the magic polar nights with a full moon, twinkling stars and northern lights upon a crystal bright polar sky.
You will have the opportunity of experiencing the polar night up close, either behind a dog sled or driving a snowmobile or a tracked vehicle. As soon as you leave the lights of Longyearbyen behind, you will find a whole new world to be discovered under the starlit sky - or in the whirling snow!
The Radisson BLU Polar Hotel Spitsbergen will stay open during Christmas, and you're most welcome to celebrate Christmas or New Years with us! Package includes 3 days / 2 nights program. Welcome to Svalbard!
