NORTH POLE, Alaska — Travellers have been visiting the Alaska city of North Pole to show their Christmas spirit and declare their love at the Santa Claus House.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Thursday that Princess Cruises has steered its “Santa Cruise” to North Pole for the past three years.

A bus operated by the cruise line arrived at the house in the community 14 miles (23 kilometres) east of Fairbanks Wednesday.

A member of the tour says he organized a group trip for students of his International School for Santas.

Couples clad in red, white and green renewed wedding vows in the Santa Claus House with the help of an ordained minister.

The Florida minister then made wedding vows to his own Mrs. Claus, who called the experience “my summer Christmas Hallmark movie.”
