About the trip

This five-night escorted holiday, offered by G Adventures, takes families through Finland’s capital and northern wilderness with a blend of urban culture and Arctic adventure. It begins in Helsinki, where a CEO-led orientation walk introduces the city’s architecture and vibrant markets, such as Hakaniemi Market Hall, alongside visits to the Finnish Science Centre and Helsinki Central Library. Travelers then board an overnight train north to Rovaniemi, known as the official hometown of Santa Claus.

In Rovaniemi, the spirits of winter are palpable. Santa Claus Village is a place where festive cheer persists beyond December, and the presence of reindeer and huskies serves as a reminder of the region’s traditional livelihoods. Guests can enjoy activities like husky sled rides and a Northern Reindeer safari, with a night dedicated to a dark-sky hunt for the Northern Lights—a natural phenomenon whose appearance is always subject to fortune. The tour concludes with a transfer from Ranua back to Rovaniemi, offering a final taste of the Arctic Circle's quiet charm before departure.
