About the Trip
The Sami say, “Snow is not cold. It's just quiet.” And the farther north you go, the more that line makes sense. This journey runs from Stockholm’s elegance to Kiruna’s stillness. One leg offers modern Nordic comfort, the other delivers adventure by sled and stories around fires. You’ll sleep in sculpted ice, dine like a Lapland local, and meet the reindeer keepers who’ve lived here longer than maps. And if you’re lucky, the night sky might show you its rarest trick in the book.
Highlights
- Explore Stockholm’s cobbled Old Town, Gamla Stan, on foot and wheels with a guided tour.
- Walk beside a 17th-century warship at the impressive Vasa Museum on Djurgården Island.
- Glide into Kiruna on a husky sled while your luggage follows by car—a story to tell forever.
- Sleep in a suite made entirely of ice, wrapped in warmth and surrounded by Arctic silence.
- Share coffee and suovas around a Sámi fire after a reindeer ride through snowy wilderness.
- If luck allows, witness the Northern Lights dance above Lapland’s dreamlike landscape.

Stockholm
Welcome to Stockholm, the capital strung across islands like pearls on a silvery chain. After breakfast isn’t part of today’s plan, you’ll be greeted at the airport by a driver who knows the art of smooth hellos.
Once you check in at your sea-facing hotel, the city is yours to wander—medieval lanes, edgy boutiques, fika spots in between. Lunch is at leisure, maybe go where the locals go. In the evening, find a spot that serves cloudberry jam with your meal.
After dinner, return to your hotel for a restful night.

After breakfast, the Arctic morning is yours to take in slowly—ice crunching underfoot, breath hanging in air. In the afternoon, meet the Sámi and their antlered companions for a reindeer sled ride and stories shared by firelight.
Lunch comes in the form of suovas—smoked reindeer—served inside a lavvu tent. You’ll sip coffee as folk tales drift between flames. Once you’ve fed, petted, and thanked the reindeer, return to your hotel.
After dinner, return to your hotel for a restful night.
