Chase the Northern Lights, sleep beneath the Arctic sky and experience Finland from Helsinki to the snowy wilderness of Lapland. This winter journey pairs the capital’s harbourfront sights and rock-cut Temppeliaukio Church with husky sledding, a reindeer safari, Santa’s Home and time at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. You’ll learn the science and stories behind the aurora, head out with a Local Specialist in search of the lights and stay in a glass igloo surrounded by snow and pine forest.
Sightseeing highlights
- Vist Temppeliaukio Church in Helsinki, Kakslauttanen Planetarium, Santa’s Home, a husky safari and an Arctic reindeer sleigh ride in Lapland
- View Helsinki Cathedral, Senate Square, Market Square, the waterfront and the Northern Lights, weather permitting
Iconic Experience
- Helsinki: Get your bearings in Finland’s capital with an orientation that takes in Senate Square, the cathedral, the waterfront and market area. See how Helsinki fits together, from its neoclassical centre to its harbourfront streets, giving you an easy first feel for the city.
- Helsinki: See Senate Square and Helsinki Cathedral before continuing to Market Square and the waterfront. You’ll pass neoclassical facades, harbour stalls, tramlines and ferry piers, with the Baltic close to the streets.
- Kakslauttanen: Inside Kakslauttanen’s planetarium, you’ll learn what creates the Northern Lights, from charged solar particles to the Earth’s magnetic field, alongside the stories that have surrounded the aurora in the north for generations.
- Kakslauttanen: Join your Travel Director for an Aurora hunt in Finnish Lapland, where clear skies, low light and local knowledge matter. You’ll look for the aurora borealis beyond the resort’s glow, reading cloud cover, weather and northern conditions while snow, pine forest and open ground surround you.
- Visit Santa’s Home in Finnish Lapland and meet Santa himself in his Arctic. You’ll step inside, see the details of his Lapland home and spend time with one of Finland’s best-known festive figures, surrounded by the snowy scenery of Kakslauttanen.
- Kakslauttanen: Travel by reindeer-drawn sleigh through the snow as your reindeer guide leads the way across the Arctic landscape. You’ll meet the animals up close, hear about Sámi traditions linked to herding and see how reindeer remain part of daily life in Finnish Lapland.
Dive Into Culture
- Kakslauttanen: Take the reins of your own husky sled team and follow the snowy trail through Lapland’s winter landscape. After instruction on handling the sled, braking and working with the dogs, you’ll guide the team across packed snow, sharing the run between musher and passenger as the huskies lead you through the forest.
