Our all-inclusive journeys reveal hidden gems through private adventures, exclusive cultural experiences, and authentic local moments—where luxury meets seamless, unforgettable exploration.
Every itinerary is built from the same parts, arranged in the order that suits the people travelling.
Families with young children usually start with Santa — a private visit to your own accommodation, a meeting at his forest hideout, or a reindeer sleigh ride with Santa himself — and add a husky safari and a reindeer farm visit either side of it.
Couples more often build the week around the sky: Northern Lights holidays spread across several nights so one cloudy evening does not decide the trip, a private glass igloo dinner, and a glass igloo or villa to come back to. Everything is joined by private transfers, so the days connect without a hire car or a timetable.
Each package below is a starting point, not a fixed departure. Open one to see how the itinerary is built and who it suits.
The aurora needs a clear sky more than it needs cold, and that is the whole logic of this itinerary.
Rovaniemi, Levi and Kilpisjärvi sit inland under drier, more settled winter air. Tromsø is coastal Norway with an entirely different weather system. A front parked over one of them is rarely parked over all four, so moving north through the week buys you independent chances rather than four nights in the same forecast. Kilpisjärvi and Tromsø also sit further north, closer to the auroral oval.
Between the hunts there are husky days, glass igloo and lodge nights, and a guide reading the forecast each afternoon.
Suits travellers for whom seeing the aurora is the point, and who accept four moves in nine days. If you would rather stay put, we build the same chances into fewer bases.
Two locations in five days, with a short transfer between them — the opposite of the aurora itinerary, and deliberately so.
Rovaniemi and Levi are close enough that the week is not spent moving. Nights are split between a glass igloo and a luxury villa, and the evenings are the point: a private glass igloo dinner on a secluded hilltop, a reindeer sleigh ride through the forest, spa time built into the afternoons.
Worth knowing: the 2–16 guest range is not a mistake. The same itinerary works for two people and for a small wedding or elopement party, and the planning barely changes.
February and March give longer evenings than December if you would rather not do everything in the dark.
Two bases in seven days, because the thing that tires children is not the cold but the transfers.
Rovaniemi gives you the Arctic Circle, the airport and Santa Claus Village. Saariselkä sits further north in Inari, with more reliable snow and darker skies away from town lights. Cabins with private yards mean the children can be outside between activities rather than waiting in a lobby.
Ages decide the week more than anything. Under-16s cannot drive a husky sled but ride in one; snowmobiles have a 130 cm height rule; a short reindeer ride and farm visit suits small children better than a long safari. Tell us the ages first and we build around them.
One base, and the busiest week of the Lapland year.
Most families build the week around meeting Santa. The Village tour is the public version, done privately with your own guide. The quieter alternatives are a visit to your own accommodation, a meeting at his forest hideout, or a sleigh ride with Santa himself at a working reindeer farm.
Two practical points. Daylight is at its shortest around the solstice, so days are planned around a narrow window or run after dark. And the private Santa experiences and glass igloos are the first things to sell out — for late December, plan several months ahead.
This is the one that is not a package. It starts from a blank week.
The four above exist because those combinations come up most often, but none of them is fixed — every one is adjusted before it becomes a trip. If none is close to what you want, this is the same planning without a starting template: more than ten Arctic destinations, and the length set by what you actually want to do rather than by a brochure.
Group size drives everything else, so it is the first thing to tell us. Accommodation, transfers and which experiences run privately all follow from it — and the answer for two people is rarely the answer for twenty.
A tailor-made Lapland holiday is built around three decisions: when you come, who you are travelling with, and how much of the week you want arranged. The packages above are starting points — every one of them is adjusted before it becomes your trip. The sections below cover the questions guests ask before they commit.
It depends entirely on what you came for, and the seasons are sharper here than most people expect.
Late August to early April is aurora season. September and March often reward you most: the skies are more settled and standing outdoors for an hour is comfortable. December to March is the Lapland of the postcards — reliable snow, frozen lakes, husky and reindeer farms running daily. Around the winter solstice, daylight in Rovaniemi drops to a few hours of low blue light, which is atmospheric but short. April keeps the snow and returns the daylight, and is the quietest premium month. June to August is the opposite trip: the sun does not set for weeks, the rivers open, and prices fall well below the Christmas peak.
Late December is the busiest week of the Lapland year, and it is a different trip from a February visit.
Families usually build the week around meeting Santa. Beyond the public attractions, we arrange private alternatives — Santa visiting your own accommodation, a private meeting at his forest hideout, or a reindeer sleigh ride with Santa himself — with husky and reindeer days either side.
Two practical points. Daylight is at its shortest, so excursions are planned around a narrow window or run after dark. And the private Santa experiences and glass igloos are the first things to go: if you are travelling that week, plan several months ahead.
Lapland works for children, but the details decide whether it is magical or exhausting.
Ages matter more than anything. Under-16s cannot drive a husky sled but ride in it; a short reindeer sleigh ride and farm visit suits small children better than a long safari; snowmobiles have height limits. Our Family Adventures package runs seven days across Rovaniemi and Saariselkä for this reason — two bases, fewer transfers, and time between activities.
The other thing that decides the week is warmth. Winter clothing is included on most excursions, and rental outerwear covers the hours in between, so nobody is cold walking to dinner.
There is no booking engine for this, deliberately.
You tell us the dates, who is travelling and what matters most. A travel planner in Rovaniemi puts together a proposed itinerary — accommodation, experiences and transfers as one plan, with the reasoning for each choice. You change what you want changed. Once it is right, we hold everything and you have a single point of contact before and during the trip.
Most guests start the conversation several months out, and longer for late December.
Packages run from three to fourteen days and typically bring together accommodation, private Arctic experiences and transfers between them, so the days connect without a hire car.
What varies is how much is private. A small-group husky safari and a private one cost differently and feel differently, and the same is true of Santa meetings and aurora evenings. We price both and tell you which we would choose for your group rather than defaulting to the expensive answer.
Flights are not included; we plan around the ones you book, or advise on routes into Rovaniemi and Kittilä.
