We depart for Lapland on Turkish Airlines flight TK 1749, leaving Istanbul Airport at 09:55. After landing at Rovaniemi at 13:30 local time, our guide will greet us at the airport. Our first stop is to check into our hotel. Afterwards, we head to Santa Claus Village, where you will have the chance to meet Santa Claus, take a photo with him, and send postcards to your loved ones from Santa's post office. There will also be a wide range of shopping options for you to explore. At Santa Claus Village, we will also cross into the Arctic Circle. After photographing the spot where the Arctic Circle runs, we move on to the Ice Hotel. Once we've explored the hotel's unique structure and rooms, we'll head to the bar to enjoy a warm drink and then leave the hotel. (In December, after returning to Rovaniemi, we will also visit the Christmas Market.) After the tour, you'll have free time for dinner.
If weather conditions are favorable at night, we may go to Lake Norvajarvi to hunt for the Northern Lights.
After breakfast, we leave Rovaniemi and head to another Finnish city, Kemi. In the afternoon, we will embark on an unforgettable journey aboard the Sampo Icebreaker Ship on the Gulf of Bothnia. During this trip, where we will enjoy the beauty of the Arctic sunrise, we will witness the massive 3,500-ton icebreaker navigating through the frozen sea and learn about its technical details. Afterward, it’s time to swim in the icy waters. (The necessary suits for ice swimming will be provided on the ship. Even if you cannot swim, the suits will keep you afloat.) If the weather and ice conditions allow, you will also have the chance to walk on the ice. After leaving the ship and seeing the Snow Castle, we return to our hotel.
After breakfast, if there was no availability on the Sampo Icebreaker Ship the previous day, we will first head to the ship again. Following the ship tour, we set off towards Kiruna. Upon arrival in Kiruna, we take a walk through the snow towards Lake Sautusjärvi. Afterwards, we settle into our hotel. At night, we will be hunting for the northern lights.
After breakfast, we head to Abisko National Park. Abisko, one of the most intriguing places in Swedish Lapland, is famous for its glacial valleys, crystal-clear waters, alpine flowers, Torne Lake, and the Sami people. After a short walk here, we return to Kiruna. Following some rest at the hotel, we continue to the village of Jukkasjärvi east of Kiruna. This is home to the world's first ice hotel. Every year, dozens of artists reconstruct the ice hotel’s art rooms using the pristine waters of the Torne River. After seeing these artistic rooms, we return to Kiruna and visit the Sami Cultural Museum. Here, we learn up close about Sami life and spend time with reindeer before returning to our hotel. At night, we’re once again chasing the northern lights.
After breakfast, it’s time for an excursion with the friendly huskies of the North or by snowmobiles.
The sledding activity, which holds historical significance for Lapland, begins with the preparation of the dogs for the sled. Afterwards, we are awaited by an unforgettable tour through the Northern Forests. At the end of the activity, we’ll also have the chance to try traditional ice fishing. After the tour, we return to our hotel. Those who wish can again spend time at the open-air pool and sauna. After dinner, we head out once more on a northern lights hunt.
After breakfast, we set off towards Kiruna Airport and bid farewell until we meet again on another tour.
