Summer is great — but what if you could add a little Christmas magic to it? Pack up the family and head to Finland, where holiday cheer shines bright even under the midnight sun. Kick things off in Helsinki with a dose of cool Nordic culture and science-fuelled fun before boarding an overnight train to the Arctic Circle. In Rovaniemi — Santa’s official hometown — you’ll visit his village, meet his reindeer and huskies, and soak up the magic of Lapland in the glow of the endless summer light. With hands-on activities, festive fun, and lots of wide-eyed wonder, this six-day adventure brings your family into the heart of a real-life winter wonderland… in the middle of summer.

The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you view a final copy of your Trip Details a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
