  • Overview

Embark on an exciting, seven-night adventure to the world’s happiest country! Start with a taste of Helsinki’s urban vibes for three nights and take in its stunning modern and historic architecture. Discover why the sauna experience is a cherished ritual for Finns and soak up some soothing steam yourself! Then fly north to Lapland for four nights and stay in a glass-domed cabin, perfect for watching the spectacular Northern Lights overhead.

Look forward to invigorating outdoor activities amid snowy landscapes. Strap on snowshoes for a trek, see reindeer in their habitat at a traditional reindeer farm, plus drive a team of energetic huskies across the glistening fjells on a dogsled and take a fun snowmobile ride! You’ll also delve into the heritage of Finland’s three Sámi cultures at a Lapland museum and enjoy a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia, to admire its beautiful old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This active, small-group experience features expert guides and lecturers, first-class hotels and a round-trip flight between Helsinki and Lapland.
