Fly after Christmas for a special festive interlude

Enjoy the comforts of the Davvi Arctic Lodge over the Christmas holidays

If you don’t have time for a short break in Santa’s kingdom before Christmas, why not visit him over the Christmas holidays? Now you can escape those dreary turkey leftovers by flying off after Boxing Day to the comforts of the Davvi Arctic Lodge. Santa himself is feeling a little tired now, after delivering presents to boys and girls everywhere. But he is always delighted to have visitors to his hideaway cabin, hidden deep inside the snow-draped forest, and if you manage to find him, he will be happy to put aside his holiday brochures for a festive season chat. Setting off after Boxing Day is just the beginning of your short break. There is so much included. From a Husky Experience to a Search for Santa, from a Snowmobile Adventure to a Festive Dinner, your three-night break is filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

DECEMBER 27
After a festive flight, you land in Enontekiö in Finland and are guided to your coach. The one-hour journey takes you through the heart of the Sámi lands. Watch out for reindeer in the woods! We stop to collect your all-in-one thermal suits and boots. After checking in at the Davvi Arctic Lodge, your rep hosts
a welcome meeting and will answer any further questions during a welcome dinner. Tonight, you can join one of our optional activities, such as a Nothern Light snowmobile night safari.
