Make a run for the border!
If you're looking to travel abroad for your cold weather delights, there's a world of exciting possibilities!
Alaska is a snow lover's paradise, and cruising is a great way to see much of the state. Slip past glaciers and through fjords, spot majestic humpback whales and learn more about native cultures. Crystal Cruise Lines is kid friendly, they offer dance classes, arts and crafts and video games, and special deals let children under twelve sail for free.
New York State is where you'll find what the New York Post has called 'The Club Med of Ranch Resorts' -- the Rocking Horse Ranch. The kids will have trouble deciding what to indoors: year round archery and BB shooting gallery, video arcade, widescreen TV lounge, bingo and a comedy club. Outdoors they can ride, ski and tube in the Winter Fun Park, take ski lessons, or go on winter trail rides and sunset sleigh rides. Parents will get a chuckle out of live comedy acts, live and music, nightly dances.
Finland's ‘Lively Season' is between October and April, when most of the country receives little daylight. Big cities like Helsinki are ablaze with lights and cultural activities, festivals and concerts. Ever dreamed of viewing the Aurora Borealis from the comfort of your own igloo? Travel to Lapland in northern Sweden and check into your own igloo, complete with woolen rugs and reindeer hides to stave off the cold. Hang out at the Ice Gallery or Ice Bar, learn about Sami culture, or get active with skiing, dog sledding, ice fishing or a trip to the local reindeer farm.
Sweden is a land of ice and snow, incredible natural beauty and great massage! Adventurous spirits will be drawn to the world famous Icehotel. Visitors from around the globe come to stay at the Icehotel, which is rebuilt each winter from thousands of tons of snow and ice. Take ice sculpting lessons, snowmobile safaris, ice fishing or husky rides, and end the day with a dip in the Torne River and a hot sauna. Relax in your ice suite with an ice glass of iced vodka -- skål!
