As dusk wraps the snowy landscape in dreamy blue shadows, the Golden Eagle train streams north, bound for the Arctic Circle and beyond. Boreal forest and frozen lakes fade into the twilight. Inside our warm carriage, sip a vodka aperitif as the polar night descends, glittering with stars. On a private rail journey from St. Petersburg, storied capital of Imperial Russia, we cover nearly a thousand miles, disembarking near the top of Scandinavia. Continuing to Kirkenes, Norway at 70° north, a host of Nordic adventures awaits. Tour the famous Snowhotel, and spend an optional night in a room carved from ice. Go snowshoeing, ride in a dog sled and search for the northern lights. Crossing into Finland, discover traditional Sami culture on a wilderness adventure in Inari. You won’t find a more distinctive winter encounter with European nature!
