A Cold Christmas

For those dreaming of a white Christmas, the Arctic offers a world where stillness and light merge in spectacular harmony. Sail through the frozen fjords of Svalbard and Northern Norway, where snow-dusted peaks rise straight from the sea and the Northern Lights ripple across the sky in green and violet hues. Here, your days might be spent dog-sledding across powdery valleys, snowshoeing beneath the polar twilight, or sharing stories by the warmth of a fire as the aurora glows above your yacht.

Further south, Antarctica promises a Christmas defined by silence and scale, penguins gathered on the ice, glaciers glowing blue against the horizon, and an untouched beauty that feels almost spiritual. Even in Europe, places like the French Riviera and Croatia offer a quieter winter charm: festive markets, candlelit harbours, and crisp sea air carrying the scent of mulled wine.
