The adventure
Summer is great — but what if you could add a little Christmas magic to it? Pack up the family and head to Finland, where holiday cheer shines bright even under the midnight sun. Kick things off in Helsinki with a dose of cool Nordic culture and science-fuelled fun before boarding an overnight train to the Arctic Circle. In Rovaniemi — Santa’s official hometown — you’ll visit his village, meet his reindeer and huskies, and soak up the magic of Lapland in the glow of the endless summer light. With hands-on activities, festive fun, and lots of wide-eyed wonder, this six-day adventure brings your family into the heart of a real-life winter wonderland… in the middle of summer.
Tervetuloa! Welcome to Finland. Your family adventure kicks off in Helsinki with an evening welcome meeting at the hotel before a short orientation walk on the way to an optional dinner out. If you arrive early, you can purchase a Helsinki travel card which allows unlimited use of the excellent public transport and free access to area museums.
All aboard! Hop on a local train this morning for a short ride to the Heureka Science Centre, where the kids will love feeling like a mad scientist with all the interactive exhibits and engaging displays. Return to Helsinki in time for lunch before setting off on a walking exploration of the city centre followed by some free time to relax. In the evening, board the famous 'Santa Claus Express', a comfortable overnight train to the home of Santa himself, Rovaniemi.
