Later: Indulge in a Finnish Sauna with a heated pool that we’ve booked for you and you’ll realise why the Finns are some of the happiest people in the world! And if you are the adventurous kind, there is a cold seawater pool we dare you to try.

Today, say goodbye to Helsinki and hop on a train bound for Rovaniemi in the northern region of Finland. Rovaniemi is Finland's Arctic playground, where Santa Claus resides, frozen magic happens, and the Northern Lights paint the sky in mesmerising colours!
Passing through breathtaking scenery, we'll arrive in Rovaniemi by evening. Settle in and recharge your batteries for tonight’s epic adventure. Bundled up in thermal suits, we'll head further up north to chase the magical Northern Lights. Gather around the bonfire with a warm drink in hand and be awestruck by nature's dazzling show.

Get set for a whirlwind of adventures as we cross the arctic circle (yes, literally!) to reach the Santa Claus Village! Take in the festive vibes, it's Christmas here throughout the year. First meet the big guy, Santa himself and share your wishes. Then hop on a husky/reindeer sleigh for a wild ride through snowy landscapes.
You can also send a postcard to your family from the Santa Claus post office anytime of the year and the elves will make sure that it’s delivered on Christmas.
