Winter Nordic Discovery

Make 2027 the year you experience the magic of the Arctic! ✨

A truly unforgettable adventure is waiting in November 2027—a journey through Finland and Norway filled with snowy Arctic landscapes, Sámi traditions, reindeer, huskies, beautiful Nordic cities, and the possibility of witnessing the spectacular Northern Lights.

This is far more than an ordinary sightseeing tour. It is a chance to experience some of the most exciting and unique winter adventures in the Nordic region.

🌌 CHASE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

One of the most unforgettable highlights is the opportunity to search for the Aurora Borealis in Finnish Lapland. There will be two evenings dedicated to searching the Arctic sky for the Northern Lights, plus an Aurora photography workshop to help capture the experience if the lights appear.

✨ A bucket-list experience could be waiting beneath the Arctic sky.

🐕 DRIVE YOUR OWN HUSKY TEAM

Get ready for an experience you will be talking about for years!

Take the reins of your own dog sled team and travel across snow-covered Arctic trails with a team of huskies.

🦌 EXPERIENCE A REINDEER SLEIGH RIDE

Visit a local reindeer farm and learn about the traditions and cultural significance of reindeer in Sámi life.

Then experience the magic of a reindeer-drawn sleigh ride through the winter landscape of Lapland.

DISCOVER HELSINKI

Explore Helsinki, Finland’s beautiful capital, with its historic landmarks, modern design, and distinctive Nordic character.

Discover Senate Square and the iconic Helsinki Cathedral, then enjoy free time to explore the city independently.

CROSS INTO ARCTIC NORWAY

Travel from Finnish Lapland into Arctic Norway and discover Kirkenes, visit the historic Andersgrotta World War II bomb shelter, and experience the dramatic landscapes of the far north.

🚢 CRUISE THE OSLO FJORD

The journey continues to Oslo, where a cruise along the Oslo Fjord offers beautiful views of the city's waterfront and surrounding islands. A private visit to the Nobel Peace Center adds another fascinating experience before a special farewell dinner.
