Christmas Market Cruise<br />
Get in the mood for Christmas this year with a traditional Fred<br />
Olson festive cruise. Cruise from Tilbury (UK) and view the<br />
mesmerising landscapes of the Danish Fjords that are best<br />
enjoyed from the comfort of your cruise ship. As you glide<br />
through shallow waters, you will be able to see an abundance of<br />
lush valleys, picturesque harbours and pretty islands. Highlights<br />
include stops at Aalborg and Copenhagen, Denmark, Winsmar<br />
and Hamburg, Germany.<br />
Winter Adventure<br />
Take in Western Canada and Alaska by road, rail and sea. The first<br />
part of your journey is touring through historic towns, verdant<br />
National Parks, sophisticated resorts and wineries. Then you sit<br />
aboard Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf viewing car, for one of the<br />
world’s most romantic train rides. To complete the tour, embark<br />
on a classic cruise through the islands of the Inside Passage to the<br />
glacial waters of Alaska. Then continue on to the Canadian West,<br />
to enjoy stays in Victoria, Banff and Jasper.<br />

Arctic Resort<br />
The resort of Kakslauttaen is located in Finnish Lapland on the<br />
edge of the wilderness along the route to the Arctic Sea. The<br />
environment is one of the cleanest you will find anywhere in the<br />
world and in winter time a host of exciting adventures awaits, from<br />
husky safaris and Aurora hunting to cross-country skiing. And, of<br />
course, come Christmas time, there’s a traditional visit to Father<br />
Christmas himself. Accommodation ranges from cosy log cabins<br />
to glass igloos, and even real snow igloos!<br />
Winter Party<br />
Skiing is no longer just about taking to the slopes for sport but also<br />
appeals to those who enjoy the party in equal measure, otherwise<br />
known as après ski. Think Verbier in Switzerland for Made in<br />
Chelsea vibes and champagne bar decorated slopes or St Anton<br />
in France for tabletop dancing Ibiza Style (ski boots included).<br />
March sees Snowboxx,come to Avoriaz in the Alps for a weeklong<br />
festival which in previous years has attracted headline acts<br />
such as Stormzy, Sigma and Blonde.<br />
