Norwegian Coastal Voyage Introduces Special Cruise December 27
Celebrating New Year's Eve At The North Cape On The Top Of The World
Oct 13, 05

New Year's Eve festivities at the North Cape, Europe's northernmost
point, highlight Norwegian Coastal Voyage's new, seven-day cruise on
the modern, 674-berth MS Midnatsol December 27 from Trondheim along
the fjord-indented coast to Kirkenes. The itinerary, which adds a call
at Alta, makes extended stops at five ports north of the Arctic Circle
and offers special excursions in Lapland, the Lofotens Islands and
Tromso such as dogsledge riding, snowmobiling, concerts, an art
gallery, museums and a Sami cultural experience.

The North Cape plateau, atop a sheer 1,000-foot granite cliff facing
the vast Arctic Ocean, is the spectacular setting for the New Year's
Eve lavish buffet dinner with wine, a troll show put on by local
children, music and dancing, midnight fireworks and a sparkling toast
to 2006 served from the world's most northern champagne bar.
Participants also see a movie on the North Cape's changing seasons and
receive a present and North Cape certificate.

With longer stays in the ports of Bodo, Svolvaer, Tromso, Alta and
Honningsvag, NCV has added special shore excursions not available on
regular sailings. They include Bodo's Norwegian Aviation Museum; in
the Lofoten Islands an ice sculpture exhibition and the Svinoya Island
fishing community with its original 1828 general store, Gunnar Berg
art gallery and fishing processing factory; in Tromso the Polar
Museum, Tromso Museum and an Arctic Cathedral evening concert; and in
Lapland an indigenous Sami community with traditional lunch,
snowmobiling, riding a dogsledge or racing with reindeer, and an
outdoor concert by Sami musicians. During the excursions passengers
can also taste stockfish, drink from a glass made of ice, tour Tromso
and visit its Polaria Arctic Experience Center.

The Midnatsol (Midnight Sun), the newest Millennium ship, has
contemporary Norwegian art in the public areas, a two-story,
glass-enclosed panoramic lounge, restaurants, bars, Internet Café,
Jacuzzi, saunas, fitness room, shop and 23 suites. Shipboard lectures
are given on polar expeditions, the Northern Lights and Norwegian
fishing industry.

An AARP member discount of $70 per cabin can be combined with a senior
savings of $103 per person for travelers age 67 and up. Single
supplements are waived. Cruise fares of $991 to $2,871 per person
cover accommodations in the cabin or suite category selected, all
meals, lectures, taxes, port charges and gratuities. The five optional
excursions, including the New Year's Eve gala, cost $635. NCV can book
Oslo and Trondheim hotels and airline flights.

NCV also offers a 12-day, air-inclusive package combining a festive
New Year's Eve and five-day cruise on the 490-berth Richard With from
Bergen to Havoysund with winter activities at a farm in the Arctic
wilderness, the Sami culture, first-class hotels and sightseeing in
Oslo, Bergen and Alta, most meals, tour director and local guides,
round-trip transatlantic flights from New York, Alta-Oslo flight and
transfers. Cost is $4,510 to $5,430 per person. Add-on airfares are
available from other U.S. gateways.

Information and reservations can be obtained from your travel
professional.
