Scandinavian dining tends to be pricier, but local specialties like reindeer stew, Arctic char, and fresh baked goods make it worth it. There are also casual food options in most towns if you want to keep things low-key.

We recommend budgeting around $450 for meals and personal expenses not included in the itinerary, depending on your consumption habits. 

Yes, let us know your dietary needs after booking, and we’ll do our best to coordinate with local partners. Traditional Lapland cuisine is hearty and meat-focused, featuring ingredients like reindeer, fish, and game meats. Vegetarian options are available in most restaurants, though vegan and gluten-free choices can be more limited in rural areas due to the region’s location and cultural food traditions. 

If you have strict restrictions, consider bringing some of your favorite snacks or staples.

You’ll stay in a mix of cozy Nordic hotels and unique Arctic stays across several regions. 

• In Rovaniemi, we kick things off in a modern, centrally located hotel with easy access to town and festive vibes. 

• In Sinetta, you’ll experience a room made entirely of ice that’s magical and memorable, though it can be quite cold. 

• In Kiruna, you’ll settle into sustainable cabins surrounded by nature. 

• In Tromsø, we wrap up in a compact but comfortable hotel right in the city center. 

All rooms are shared unless you book a private upgrade in advance.

Think warm, cozy, and ready for snow. You’ll want thermal layers, sweaters, and a seriously warm winter coat to stay comfortable outside. Waterproof boots are a must for walking through snow, and it’s smart to pack snow-resistant outerwear for adventures like dog sledding or snowmobiling. Toss in your favorite hat, scarf, gloves, and thick socks to keep toasty. Don’t forget a swimsuit for the sauna, a daypack for outings, and if you're hoping to catch the Northern Lights, a tripod and camera with manual settings can help you get the shot.

If you’ve got a few more days for adventuring, Scandinavia has tons to offer. You could head to Iceland for glaciers, waterfalls, and black sand beaches.

We run this trip in late winter, when there’s still plenty of snow and a strong chance to see the northern lights. 

Expect frigid temps outside, cozy warmth indoors, and a mix of clear skies and snowy days. Dressing smart (layers and waterproof gear) makes all the difference.

Plan to arrive at Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) by 3 PM on Day 1 to settle in before our welcome dinner and first night activities. Airport taxis and pre-arranged shuttles are available and reliable, especially during snowy months. 

On Day 8, you’ll depart from Tromsø Airport (TOS) – you're free to fly out anytime that day after checkout. Be sure to book your arrival into Rovaniemi and departure from Tromsø separately.

It’s an active, multi-country itinerary with daily excursions like dog sledding, snowmobiling, and guided cultural visits. 

Expect early mornings, full days, and some scenic drives between destinations – but always balanced with sauna sessions, local food, and laid-back nights with the group.

This trip is made for adventurous travelers who want a high-energy escape into snowy nature – with plenty of cozy moments to warm things up. 

You’ll bond with your group while floating in frozen lakes, spotting the northern lights, and toasting over Finnish craft beer. It’s welcoming, exciting, and full of once-in-a-lifetime moments.
