the journey
9 days, 8 nights, lifetime of memories
Day 1
Welcome to Helsinki
-/Lunch/Dinner
Touch down in Helsinki, where we slow down, breathe in the Nordic air, and gently adjust to the winter ahead. We’ll ease into the adventure with a local bus tour through the city, passing some of Helsinki’s most famous landmarks. Enjoy a delicious Finnish dinner and a short orientation about what to expect in the magical days ahead.
Day 3
Ice Breaker, Santa Village & Snow Hotel
Breakfast/-/Dinner
The train makes way through Finland and arrives to Kemi in the morning. After breakfast we cross the border into Sweden for one of the most unforgettable experiences, the Icebreaker Cruise! A thrilling and
surreal experience that few can say they've experienced! Afterwards we
head back to Finland and towards Rovaniemi, where we can meet Santa and his elves at Santa’s village. Also there are fun snow slides and ice skating to get you into the winter
mood! When done, we head to another wonder of the north - SnowHotel where we explore the secrets it keeps inside and when the day is done, we stay the night in the comfort of the icy rooms. Experience like no else!
Day 2
Sweat, Dip & Dine the Finnish Way
Breakfast/Lunch/-
Wake up to your first full day in Finland, and explore more of what makes Helsinki a modern, liveable Nordic gem. Hop aboard a city tram and head to one of Time Magazine’s top 100 places in the world — a stunning waterfront sauna where locals unwind with heat and icy dips. Sweat, plunge, repeat — this is Finnish happiness at its core. Afterwards, enjoy a hearty local lunch in a beautiful lakeside setting, then spend your afternoon however you wish: wander charming streets, visit the historic fortress island, or shop for Nordic design. By nightfall, we board the overnight train — headed north into the snowy magic of Lapland.
Day 4
Glass Igloo Village , Planetarium & Reindeer Aurora Ride
Breakfast/-/Dinner
After wakeup and easy breakfast, we get a great change to learn about the life in the arctic in a local science museum. Then, packed with all the knowledge, we head more north to the beautiful Glass Igloo village. After getting cozy in our igloos and group dinner, we embark on a Aurora hunting tour with reindeers to search for the best places to catch the magical lights! Night at Glass Igloos
Day 5
Husky Ride & Tobogganing
Breakfast/-/Dinner
In the morning we embark on a 2-hour husky exploration where we get to know our dogs and learn how to lead them through the snowy frontiers. Afterwards we leave the Igloo Village behind and head to a local hill to do what all the kids in North do during winter (and adults want too) - tobogganing! This hill will definitely make you a master of this sport, exhilarating ride! Then we continue our journey towards Norway to the town of Kirkenes, where we spend the next night and have group dinner.
Day 7
Ice fishing & A Taste of the Wild
Breakfast/-/Dinner
Start your day the Nordic way — with a morning sauna and icy plunge
that leaves you feeling completely alive. After breakfast, we learn the peaceful art of ice fishing. While waiting for a catch, we BBQ local snacks over an open fire — just in case the fish are feeling shy! In the afternoon, we visit Ylläs, a lively ski town where you can choose your adventure: skiing, snowboarding, Nordic trails, or simply enjoying the cozy cafés and shops. Tonight, try a true Lapland delicacy: the bear burger. A bold bite to end a day full of Arctic flavour.
Day 6
King Crab Safari & Change of Scenery
Breakfast/-/Dinner
After hotel breakfast, we embark on an unforgettable Arctic adventure to catch, and taste, one of the ocean’s most prized delicacies: the King Crab. We travel across a frozen fjord to go and get the catch, and enjoy it fresh! Then we continue the journey towards western Lapland and head to our next accommodation and see a bit more of the lapland nature! After arrival we enjoy a 3-course dinner and get cosy with the lakeside environment. And if we haven't been successful in spotting auroras yet, we embark on another Aurora Hunting tour on a bus for the evening.
Day 8
Snowmobiles, Smoke Sauna & Lapland Blessings
Breakfast/-/Dinner
Today we head deep into the Arctic wilderness on a thrilling 3-hour
snowmobile safari — racing across frozen landscapes and snowy trails. Midway, we visit a peaceful reindeer farm to see how these gentle animals live during the quieter season. In the afternoon, it’s time to slow down and warm up: relax in a traditional smoke sauna, take a dip in icy water, and unwind in a steaming outdoor Jacuzzi. As evening falls, we gather for a special Lapland blessing ceremony led by a local shaman — a beautiful moment to reflect on your journey. End the night with a fabulous group dinner, sharing stories, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Day 9
Farewell to Lapland, Until Next Time
This morning, we say goodbye to the Arctic Circle, hearts full and souls warmed by the magic of the North. Before flying home, enjoy some free time in Helsinki for last-minute shopping, one more coffee, or a final stroll through the winter streets. In the evening, we board our flight back to Asia — bringing home stories, smiles, and memories that will stay with you forever.
