About this listen

Pack your bags for an adventure of a lifetime…

Embark on an unforgettable journey aboard the Emerald Dream, and sail through Norway’s winter wonderlands to see the breathtaking Northern Lights this winter…

Joy never imagined herself on a cruise ship without her beloved husband by her side. Haunted by memories and an empty chair at dinner, she feels lost and alone.

Shy and reluctant to join in the festivities, Joy's world is turned upside down when a chance encounter under the stars with Henry sparks a friendship that awakens a long-buried part of her soul. And as the ship sails through Norway's enchanting fjords, Joy begins to rediscover the world, herself, and the possibility of finding love again.

Henry's life has been full of people but no deep connections, and as a solitary photographer her feels perpetually on the fringe – that is, until he meets Joy. As they spend time together and the winter wonderland around them casts its spell, he starts to wonder if it's not too late to open his heart to something more.

From the bustling ports of Molde, Sortland, Tromsø, and Ålesund, to festive excursions like winter kayaking, husky sledding, and cosy campfire tales, Joy and Henry's journey is filled with wonder – and they soon find themselves on a path they never expected.

On this heartwarming voyage of self-discovery, romance, and the magic of Christmas, will they find the courage to embrace love once more?
