This flight to Tromso has absolutely nothing to do with "Santa", because as we all know Santa lives in Finland. This flight to Tromso is more about the location and the fact that it's a port on the Norwegian Coastal Service. Tromso is also a partial turnaround port for the Norwegian Coastal Service operated by the Norwegian shipping companies Hurtigruten and Havila Voyages.
Having visited on several occasions I can thoroughly recommend the beautiful and charming Tromso for anyone searching for a new destination to visit in Norway after the typical destinations of Bergen, Oslo, Stavanger the the Fjords.
