But everything else was handled professionally, and our guide was very friendly. Definitely a memorable Arctic holiday

The tour was lovely — comfortable hotels, amazing snow activities, and stunning landscapes. The Igloo stay was my favorite! I just felt that dinners could have been more varied, especially in Rovaniemi. But everything else was handled professionally, and our guide was very friendly. Definitely a memorable Arctic holiday

The team handled everything perfectly — transfers, meals, and timing.

The best winter vacation I’ve ever had! The team handled everything perfectly — transfers, meals, and timing. Watching the Northern Lights while lying inside a warm igloo was something I’ll never forget. The Ice Floating activity during the Icebreaker Cruise was once-in-a-lifetime. Everything was smooth and professional, and the hotels were excellent. Finland in winter feels like heaven, and this itinerary captured that beautifully.

This tour exceeded my expectations! The snowmobile ride to catch King Crabs was exhilarating and unique.

This tour exceeded my expectations! The snowmobile ride to catch King Crabs was exhilarating and unique. The resort in Saariselkä was stunning, and the reindeer and husky activities added such a lovely cultural touch. The tour operator took care of every small detail, even ensuring vegetarian meal options for us. The blend of luxury and adventure was spot-on — absolutely worth every euro!
