From the ship, it’s a short walk to the Snowhotel, where you'll be welcomed with an ice-cold crowberry shot in Norway’s largest ice bar.
You’ll then enjoy a guided tour of one of Norway’s most unique hotels. The spectacular Snow Suites are crafted entirely from snow and ice, featuring furniture, sculptures, and intricate carvings created by artists from around the world. Each room is a one-of-a-kind work of art with its own distinctive theme.
Next, you'll have the opportunity to meet the reindeer that roam the property, as well as the friendly residents of the Dogyard, home to 180 Alaskan huskies and their puppies.
Before returning to the ship, relax by the fire in the hotel’s restaurant and enjoy a light bite featuring local flavors.
To round out the experience, and time permitting, you'll stop at Prestfjellet Mountain for panoramic views of Kirkenes and the surrounding Arctic landscape.
