The Fantastic Rovaniemi Tour brings the magic of Finnish Lapland to life across five unforgettable days, with weekly group departures running daily from 20 November to 14 December 2026 and 9 January to 31 March 2027. Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus and gateway to the Arctic Circle, offers travellers from the UAE a rare escape from desert heat into a snow-covered winter wonderland. Upon arrival at Rovaniemi airport or railway station, guests are transferred to their hotel for check-in and free time to settle in. Day two begins with a guided city tour of Rovaniemi followed by a visit to the world-famous Santa Claus Village, where visitors can cross the Arctic Circle, meet Santa Claus himself, send postcards from the official Santa's Post Office, and browse boutiques showcasing authentic Lappish craftsmanship. The same afternoon includes a self-guided visit to the Arktikum Museum, a striking science centre exploring Arctic nature, culture and history. The remaining days are built around Lapland's signature winter experiences, available as optional add-ons. Guests can join a reindeer farm visit and sled safari, try a snowmobile safari through the surrounding wilderness, meet the resident huskies on a dog-sled adventure, or head out after dark on a dedicated Northern Lights hunt by car, bus or snowmobile, complete with campfire snacks and hot drinks under the Arctic sky. The package includes four nights of hotel accommodation with breakfast, round-trip transfers to and from Rovaniemi airport or railway station, the guided city and Santa Claus Village tour, and Arktikum Museum entrance tickets. On the final morning, after breakfast and check-out, guests are transferred back to the airport or railway station, bringing their Lapland adventure to a close. Ideal for families, couples and small groups travelling from the UAE, this shared-departure group tour combines Christmas magic, Arctic culture and optional wilderness adventures into one compact five-day itinerary.
