Why not do something different for Christmas this year? You may or may not have already experienced a white Christmas. This year, take it further and top off that white Christmas with traditional favourites such as reindeers, Santa Claus and the merry elves. Add husky sled rides, snowmobiling and an arctic swim for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!
From 20th to 28th December 2010, we’ll take you on a magical Christmas adventure to Finnish Lapland. This perfect family getaway will get you acquainted with traditional Finnish cuisine and introduce you to winter activities, as well as rekindle your childhood fantasies of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus, and his little helpers.
Your holiday will start off with two nights in the Finnish capital of Helsinski to experience mid-day darkness. Don’t expect a gloomy experience though, as you’ll be enjoying the city’s well-adapted interior designs at the numerous saunas, museums and restaurants of this modern city.
Next, fly out to Kemi, where you’ll be spending Christmas. Highlights at Kemi and the nearby town of Rovaniemi include reindeer and husky sled rides, viewing of Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, lynx and wolves, shopping at Santa Claus Village, snowmobiling and an Arctic swim. You’ll also get to feast on Finnish specialties during your time here.
