Our day begins with an early morning flight from Dublin, Cork or Shannon Airport to Lapland. Subject to crew permission the festive fun will begin. There will be Christmas singing, colouring, drawing and lots of very excited children.
On arrival at Rovaniemi airport – the official airport of Santa Claus, you will be met by our elves who will guide you throughout your 2 day trip to Lapland and help you search for Santa.
Once you’ve collected your special thermal clothing we will set off & enjoy wintery Lappish activities in the middle of nature. Candles and fires, together with snow covered trees and the magical lights of the arctic, will give the spirit of Christmas. During the day we will take a break from the activities and recharge our batteries by enjoying a nice hot lunch in a cosy restaurant. After a long day we will return to our hotel where we can relax and unwind and enjoy a three course buffet dinner. Don’t forget the snow covered town of Rovaniemi is on your doorstep for those still eager to explore.
Please note the order of activities will vary for each group.
After breakfast, we will check out of our hotel and visit Santa Claus village located on the Arctic Circle. You and your family will enjoy a private meeting with Santa in his official office and Santa will have a small token gift for each child. Make friends with the cheerful postal elves in Santas Post Office where you will see a colourful world of beautiful cards, stamps and gifts. You will have time to write and send your letters from Santa’s official Post Office. Upon leaving the village we will return our thermal clothing.
Finally, it’s time to take a short coach transfer back to Rovaniemi airport for our flight home and bid a happy farewell to the land of Santa Claus. A light lunch will be served on board the flight.
