Picture this: the warmth of a crackling campfire inside a cozy traditional tent as you scan the sky for the northern lights. Feel the rush as you glide through snowy trails on a husky-pulled sleigh, chilly air on your face. Connect with Indigenous herders, learning their age-old traditions and daily life with reindeer. This seven-day adventure through Finland’s breathtaking Lapland is the ultimate winter escape.
Each port on a Norway cruise brings its own brand of ‘wow.’ You’ll find towns that blend myth and modernity, cities that serve up mountains alongside museums and fjords that seem engineered to make your jaw drop. These are the stops where the scenery is the main event.

Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Helsinki
Arrive at any time. After settling into your hotel, attend a welcome meeting with your CEO before enjoying short orientation walk and an optional dinner out with the group.
Day 2: Helsinki - Overnight Train
Head out on the town this morning and learn what your CEO loves so much about Helsinki with an orientation walk. Wander down the Mannerheinmintie, stroll to the newly built Helsinki library, and finish up at the fascinating Lutheran Church. Explore on your own with some free time before boarding an overnight train for the journey north to Rovaniemi, Lapland.
Day 3: Rovaniemi
Disembark in Rovaniemi and transfer to the hotel, our base of exploration for the next four nights. Visit a local husky kennel to spend time with the dogs and their mushers and personally experience what they do best - pull. Next, transfer to a traditional reindeer farm for a chance to interact with the animals and to engage with the indigenous herders. Savour a traditional lunch before returning to Rovaniemi for some free time. In the evening, check out a local handicraft workshop and if conditions are right, set off with your CEO to try and glimpse the northern lights in the dark sky.
Day 4: Rovaniemi
The capital of Lapland, Rovaniemi is also known for being home to Santa Claus himself. Today, cross the Arctic Circle and visit Santa Claus Village to pen your holiday wishes and mail them from Santa's very own post office. Enjoy some free time in the village for lunch and perhaps to meet the big guy himself before returning to Rovaniemi. Later, transfer from town to the wilderness of Kuoksa for a one-of-a-kind campfire experience and if you're lucky, the northern lights will light up the sky.
Day 5: Rovaniemi
Choose your own adventure today; a choice between two included excursions that take you into the local wilderness. Don your warmest winter gear and decide whether you'd prefer to try your hand at ice fishing or tromp through the snow on snow shoes. Enjoy free time this afternoon and evening to relax at the hotel or get out to further explore this interesting town.
Day 6: Rovaniemi
Today is yours to explore on your own! Relax in town, re-visit Santa's Village or perhaps visit a private sauna in the woods. This evening join your CEO for an optional farewell dinner in town.
Day 7: Rovaniemi
Depart at any time.
