Finland Dreamscape A Winter Wonderland

Arrive in Finland, the Land of a Thousand Lakes, where a warm welcome by a Cox and Kings representative and private chauffeur await at Helsinki Airport. Glide through wintry streets to your hotel, an abode of comfort and simplicity.

Spend the afternoon exploring this design-forward capital at your own pace; stroll past neoclassical façades, relax at a stylish café, or if you’re lucky, watch the harbor shimmer under northern lights. Lunch is yours to enjoy freely, whether at a waterfront bistro or the colourful Market Hall.

As evening falls, unwind in a traditional Finnish sauna or explore the city’s illuminated boulevards or simply relax in the comfort of your room before winding down for a peaceful night in the heart of Helsinki.

After a warm breakfast, set out on a guided panoramic tour of Helsinki. Visit the Parliament House, Finlandia Hall, Opera House, and the famed Rock Church, all showcasing the city’s architectural grace. Later, stop by the Sibelius Monument, a tribute to the nation’s great composer!

Enjoy a warm local lunch at leisure at one of Helsinki’s elegant cafés before preparing for an unforgettable journey north. As twilight deepens, make your way to the station along with the group where the legendary Santa Claus Express expects you!

Settle into your cozy overnight sleeper cabin and dine aboard or at the station café watching snow fall gracefully outside. Tuck in and let the feel of the rails rock you into a good night’s sleep as you head toward the Arctic Circle.

Wake up aboard the train as frost-laced trees and white meadows signal your arrival in Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus! A private chauffeur takes you to your hotel, where breakfast is served amid a cozy, fireside setting!

Spend the morning at leisure, perhaps explore snow-dusted streets, visit local cafés, or simply enjoy the irresistible calm of the north. Lunch is yours to discover as you soak in Lapland’s peaceful life, perhaps try creamy salmon soup, fresh rye bread, or a mug of hot chocolate by the fire.

In the evening, meet your local escort for a trip briefing over warm drinks. As night falls, try dining at a traditional Lapland restaurant for an authentic meal, before retreating for a restful sleep under the Arctic sky.

After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to step into a winter dream at Santa Claus Village! Cross the Arctic Circle, send a postcard from Santa’s own Post Office, yes, you heard it right, and capture that once-in-a-lifetime photo with St. Nick himself!

Enjoy local specialties for lunch in the village, before setting out on a relaxing yet fun reindeer sleigh ride through silent, snow-covered forests, an experience as timeless as the north itself.

Sip warm berry juice beside a crackling campfire, then return to your hotel for a tranquil evening. Dinner is free for you to try various Finnish favourites before retiring to your hotel for a cozy night amid Lapland’s stillness.

A hearty breakfast fuels you for an exhilarating day in the wild. Begin your day at a husky farm where teams of eager dogs, or as we would like to call them, a team of good boys await. Learn the art of mushing before taking a 3 km trail ride on a sledge through the frost-tipped wilderness; a thrilling highlight of the Arctic.

Pause for lunch at your own pace, perhaps a café or packed picnic, before journeying onward to the Ranua Zoo, the world’s northernmost wildlife park. Witness unique animals like polar bears, Arctic foxes, lynx, and owls in habitats kissed by snow.

As twilight sets in, return to your cozy hotel as the night invites you to unwind; maybe a fireside drink, or maybe the quiet joy of snowfall, before you drift into deep rest.

Begin the morning with a hearty breakfast and enjoy free time to tailor your Arctic day; choose to visit the Arktikum Museum, stroll the Ounasjoki River, or join an optional snowmobile safari through the white expanse!

Pause midday for lunch at a rustic eatery, and try sampling Finnish salmon soup or cloudberry desserts. Later, make your way to a heated glass igloo resort, where comfort and starlight come together perfectly!

After enjoying a farewell dinner with the group, lie back beneath the crystal dome of your cozy igloo as ribbons of green and violet dance across the sky; a night that truly feels beyond this world!

One final delicious breakfast greets you in the stillness of Lapland’s morning. Take time to pack unhurriedly, or step outside for a last breath of Arctic air that feels fresher than anywhere else on earth.

A private chauffeur escorts you to the airport after you pick up souvenirs or enjoy a final lunch before your departure; a sweet ending to your Nordic fairytale. As you say “hei hei” to Finland, carry with you the hush of falling snow and the glow of a journey you’ll never forget.

Great journeys never end, they aspire to inspire the next. Until next time…

Expertly yours.
