After more than two months, we have concluded the #CruisingNordicHorizons event on Sunday. We would like to thank all the 113,728 truckers for taking part! Now, let's take a look at how you managed to complete the set goals.
Before we get into it, we would also like to send a huge thanks to the dedicated team behind this event. We really appreciate all their hard work, and we are sure that our #BestCommunityEver does too!
As tradition goes, with every new map expansion, we launch a World of Trucks event with dedicated goals and rewards for our #BestCommunityEver. For #CruisingNordicHorizons, the community set out to drive a combined 300,000,000 kilometres while delivering cargo to or from any city featured in the Nordic Horizons DLC. With the personal goal, truckers were challenged to complete 18 contracts to or from six unique cities in each of the countries; Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
We're thrilled to report that you didn't just meet these goals, you absolutely smashed them. The community goal was reached in less than two weeks, and by the end of the event, the total distance driven had more than doubled, reaching an incredible 702,446,695 kilometres.
Meanwhile, 57,397 truckers completed the personal challenge and can now enjoy all the rewards: the Northern Tides ETS2 truck paint job, the Viking Helmet dashboard accessory, and a World of Trucks achievement. Now it's time to go trucking in the far north in style with the themed rewards you earned.
Even if you didn't complete the event, don't worry - the journey is what matters most, and we hope you've had (and will continue to have) plenty of fun hauling cargo across this map expansion.

The north of Scandinavia has evolved from its traditional fishing and farming roots into a region of growing economic importance, supported by its strategic location and modern infrastructure. Its economies thrive on diverse industries, from renewable energy and mining to shipping, tourism, and local crafts. Truckers play a vital role in connecting remote communities and sustaining the region’s economic growth.
As you travel through the far north of Scandinavia, you can look forward to some spectacular highlights of the region, including:
Tromsø, known as the “Gateway to the Arctic,” with its lively culture and northern lights views
The Lofoten Islands, offering dramatic coastlines, fishing villages, and stunning scenery
Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland and the official home of Santa Claus
Nordkapp, where you can stand at the edge of Europe beneath the midnight sun
As always, you can explore all these and more during the event using your own trailer with the external market!
