Christmas on Svalbard, Radisson Blu
Travel period: December 22-26, 2023
There is something very special about the Christmas season and the atmosphere in Longyearbyen. The streets are lit up by beautiful Christmas lights, and you have the possibility to see northern lights dance in the sky both during day and night. Celebrate Christmas on Svalbard this year!
Are you dreaming of a different Christmas celebration?
Let the northern lights ring in the holiday season and take the family on a magical Christmas experience in Longyearbyen.
Our favourite Christmas involves hunting for the northern lights, by dog sledding, snowcat or by foot; enjoying cozy, warm evenings at Radisson Blu Polar Hotel Spitsbergen; and dining with a delicious Christmas meal at Restaurant Nansen with the city's best views -- relax and enjoy the tranquility.
Holiday celebrations at Longyearbyen Church on Christmas Eve are also a very special experience, which gives you the feeling that you are celebrating Christmas at the North Pole!
OUR RECOMMONDATION
- Authentic arctic living at Radisson Blu Polarhotel Spitsbergen
- A northern lights activity; northern lights evening in our wilderness camp or northern light hunting by snowcat.
