See Sweden from the Sun Deck. With its beautiful, long, and richly varied coastline, it’s no wonder that Sweden is becoming an increasingly popular destination for cruise ships from all over the world.
The long coastlines in the south and southwest of Sweden offer constantly changing scenery and a multitude of places to visit, from picturesque fishing villages and coastal towns to beach resorts and secluded getaways in splendid settings.
In a country where taking a coffee break and having a cake has its own name (Fika) what could be a more appropriate way to celebrate Shrove Tuesday than with a large bun filled with marzipan and with whipped cream? In Sweden we call it a semla and it is eaten around February/March time.
As the current solar storm makes the skies light up in northern Europe now is the time to head to northern Sweden to view the spectacular Northern Lights. Experts predict that the Northern Lights will shine at the brightest levels seen for 50 years in 2012!
The ski resorts of Sweden stretch from Riksgränsen in the Arctic Circle, in the far north, down the backbone of the Swedish mountains in the north-west, and then wind east into the county of Dalarna.
Is a unique adventure at the top of your wish list? Then check-in at the incredible ICEHOTEL. Every bit as amazing as you had hoped it would be. Double rooms and suites constructed entirely of ice, an ice lobby, a chamber of ice pillars and the famous Icebar.
