The Christmas Tour

Designed for families with children aged three years and above, this three-night Christmas package offers a magical introduction to Rovaniemi and the surrounding winter wilderness. Clients will stay at a boutique hotel, formerly the town’s post office, conveniently located within walking distance of the railway station and close to the city centre. Each day brings a new Arctic experience, from meeting Santa in a private setting to reindeer sleigh rides and snowmobile safaris—all set against the serene beauty of Finnish Lapland.

Itinerary

20–23 December or 23–26 December 2025

Day 1: Arrival in Rovaniemi
Clients arriving by train can easily walk to the Grand Hotel Post. For those arriving by flight, an airport transfer can be arranged for a supplementary fee. The festive experience begins with a welcome buffet dinner, offering an opportunity to meet fellow travellers. Accommodation is provided in a Superior Room or Family Suite.

Day 2: Wilderness Experience & Private Santa Meeting
After breakfast, clients are transferred 20 km into the Arctic wilderness. The day includes a 5 km self-driven husky safari and a peaceful 2–3 km reindeer sleigh ride. Lunch is served in a cosy teepee by an open fire, featuring traditional salmon soup. One of the highlights of the day is a private meeting with Santa Claus in a traditional Finnish cottage—each family will enjoy approximately 15 minutes with Santa, and younger children will receive a small gift. The day ends with a festive buffet dinner back at the hotel.

Day 3: Santa Claus Village & Northern Lights Excursion
Following breakfast, clients will enjoy a visit to Santa Claus Village, including roundtrip transfers and entrance to Snowman World. In the evening, after dinner at the hotel, the adventure continues with a Northern Lights snowmobile safari. A stop at a campfire includes grilled sausages, marshmallows, cookies, and hot drinks, while the guide shares fascinating stories about the Aurora Borealis. Return to the hotel for overnight.

Day 4: Departure
Breakfast is served at the hotel. For clients with a late departure, additional excursions can be arranged on request. This package also pairs well with an extended stay in a glass igloo or snow hotel for those seeking a truly complete Lapland experience.
