Today, we venture beyond Helsinki to explore one of Finland’s most charming destinations: the storybook town of Porvoo. Just 45 minutes east of the capital, Porvoo enchants with its cobbled streets, colorful wooden houses, and deep cultural roots. Learn the traditions and history of Finland's second oldest town as  you explore the old section, city hall and the cathedral. You will catch a glimpse into the 19th century Finnish life. Free time to explore the boutique shops or grab a coffee and pastry.

Discover the spirit of Helsinki on a captivating city tour led by a local expert. Begin at the heart of the capital in Senate Square, where the grand Helsinki Cathedral stands as a symbol of the city’s identity. Stroll through the historic Tori Quarters—an elegant district shaped by 19th-century empire architecture—on a 90-minute guided walk. Then, enjoy some leisure time browsing the bustling Market Square, a lively hub of international flavors and Finnish charm. Cap off your experience with a visit to the dramatic Sibelius Monument, a striking tribute to Finland’s most celebrated composer.

Leave the ordinary behind and journey to the magical north of Finland, where snow-draped forests and starlit skies await. Board a flight to Ivalo and step into the enchanting world of Lapland—a land woven with legends and wonder. Glide through silent wilderness on a reindeer-drawn sled and keep your eyes to the sky for the elusive northern lights. Your home for three nights is a cozy log cabin at the remote Kakslauttanen Resort, complete with your own private Finnish sauna—perfect for warming up after a day of arctic adventure. 

Start your day with Santa’s cheerful Elves as they guide you to a heartwarming visit with Santa Claus himself—right in his cozy Lapland home. Share stories and learn about his origins during an intimate and festive encounter.

Afternoon we'll experience a traditional Finnish group sauna—then, for the bold, take the ultimate plunge into icy waters.

Later, under the glow of the Arctic moon, meet a local reindeer farmer and his gentle Lappish reindeer, your companions for a thrilling sleigh safari through the remote wilderness of Kakslauttanen. Along the way, discover the deep cultural ties between reindeer herding and the indigenous Sámi people. Gather inside a traditional Lappish tepee, sip warm berry juice by an open fire, and soak in the magic of the moment as you continue your quest to witness the mysterious northern lights dancing overhead.
