King Nepture baptizes travellers during Arctic Circle crossing ceremony in Norway aboard Hurtigruten cruise ship MS Trollfjord

---

Arctic Circle crossing ceremony in Norway aboard the Hurtigruten cruise ship MS Trollfjord. When the ship passes the Arctic Circle at 66 degrees, 33 minutes north, it is customary to have a ceremony where King Neptune does something uncomfortable to guests who have never crossed the circle. In this case, he pours ice cubes down passengers necks. Afterwards, the guests are rewarded with a drink of wine.
