Trip overview:

We’ll kick things off in Helsinki, exploring the city’s iconic sights and buzzing atmosphere. Then it’s time to board the Arctic Night Train north — an adventure in itself — as we head to Levi in the heart of Lapland. Here, you’ll step into the magic of the Santa Claus Village, cross the Arctic Circle, and send a postcard straight from Santa’s Post Office.

As night falls, we’ll go chasing the legendary Northern Lights, with the chance to see the sky erupt in colours you’ll never forget. The adventure continues with a classic husky sledding ride, racing through frozen forests like a true explorer. Between adventures, you’ll have time to relax, unwind in a Finnish sauna, and soak up the charm of Levi before rolling back to Helsinki with memories that will stay for life.

There are limited spaces available, so book now so you don't miss out and make memories that will last a lifetime!
