Embark on an exciting, seven-night adventure to the world’s happiest country! Start with a taste of Helsinki’s urban vibes and take in its stunning modern and historic architecture. Discover why the sauna experience is a cherished ritual for Finns and soak up some soothing steam yourself! Then fly north to Lapland and stay in a glass-domed cabin, perfect for watching the spectacular Northern Lights overhead. Look forward to invigorating outdoor activities amid snowy landscapes. You’ll strap on snowshoes for a trek through a moonlit forest, see reindeer in their habitat at a traditional reindeer farm, plus drive across the glistening fjells on a dogsled pulled by energetic huskies or aboard a snowmobile! Learn how to take great photos of the Northern Lights and delve into Arctic culture, wildlife and history at a Lapland museum. Also, delight in a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia, to admire its beautiful old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This active, small-group experience features expert guides and lecturers, first-class hotels and a round-trip flight between Helsinki and Lapland.
