Festive Fun Near the North Pole
What could be better than staying in the world’s most northerly town, Longyearbyen, during the festive season? Experience the incredible period of darkness when the sun remains at more than six degrees below the horizon.
During the polar night period, which lasts from 14 November to 29 January, it's dark enough to search for the northern lights at any time of day. The otherworldly feeling of being in the dark is something that must be experienced to be believed.
The Funken Lodge is Longyearbyen's most elegant and luxurious hotel. Nestled on a hillside, this unique lodge-style hotel offers an impressive panorama of Longyearbyen town, with the stunning arctic wilderness as a backdrop.
Valid for stays 16 December 2024 to 5th January 2025
