Itinerary
Day 1: Helsinki
Arrive at any time. After settling into your hotel, attend a welcome meeting with your CEO before enjoying short orientation walk and an optional dinner out with the group.
Welcome to Helsinki, a city known for its modern and classical design, urban sophistication alongside natural beauty.
Day 2: Helsinki, Overnight Train
Join your CEO on a walk this morning; wander down the Mannerheinmintie and finish up at the Lutheran Church. Explore on your own with some free time before joining your CEO once again for a stroll to the newly built Helsinki library. This evening, board your overnight train for the magical journey along the tracks to Rovaniemi, Lapland.
Day 3: Rovaniemi
Disembark in Rovaniemi and transfer to the hotel, our base of exploration for the next four nights. Visit a local husky kennel to spend time with the dogs and their mushers, with the option to take a wheeled sleigh ride. Next, transfer to a traditional reindeer farm for a chance to interact with the animals and to engage with the indigenous herders. Savour a traditional lunch before returning to Rovaniemi for some free time. In the evening, check out a local handicraft workshop and enjoy an optional dinner out in town.
Day 4: Rovaniemi
The capital of Lapland, Rovaniemi is also known for being home to Santa Claus himself. Today, cross the Arctic Circle and visit Santa Claus Village to pen your holiday wishes and mail them from Santa's very own post office. Enjoy some free time in the village for lunch and perhaps to meet the big guy himself before returning to Rovaniemi. Later, transfer from town to the wilderness of Kuoksa for a one-of-a-kind campfire experience.
Day 5: Rovaniemi
You have the opportunity to choose your own adventure today; a choice between two included excursions that take you into the wilderness. Choose between a fat tire e-bike ride or head out on foot to enjoy the area's nature trails. Enjoy free time this afternoon and evening to relax at the hotel or get out to further explore this interesting town.
Day 6: Rovaniemi
Today is your last day in Lapland so take time to personalize it however you wish. Relax in town, re-visit Santa's Village, perhaps join a fishing excursion to one of the local lakes, or a sauna in nature. Join your CEO for an optional farewell dinner out with the group.
Day 7: Rovaniemi
Depart at any time.
