Kirkenes, Norway
Far up in the northernmost stretch of Norway—even further North than the Arctic Circle—lies Kirkenes. As you might imagine, there’s plenty to do in the winter months. Ride a husky-drawn sled under the splendor of the Northern Lights. Say hi to the reindeer at a wildlife preserve or go on an ice fishing expedition. Enjoy a succulent meal of King crab and cap it all off with an ice-cold shot of vodka at the Snowhotel.

There are plenty of shore excursions you can take part in, ranging in their effort levels. We opted for a visit to the North Cape (Level 1) and a snowmobile safari (Level 3). The coolest thing by far is like on a river cruise, you "race" the ship -- so you get off in one port and meet the ship in another.
