Scandic Viking Aurora: Oslo to Helsinki via Lapland

Journey from Oslo to Helsinki over eleven days, combining Scandinavian capitals with the landscapes and winter experiences of Finnish Lapland. Explore Oslo and Stockholm before crossing the Baltic on an overnight cruise, then travel north through Finland to the Arctic Circle. Rovaniemi anchors the Lapland experience with Santa Claus Village and a locally guided aurora hunt, while Ranua Wildlife Park, Kemi’s SnowExperience365 and regional museums add depth beyond the cities. Nine hotel nights, an overnight cruise, breakfasts, dinners, airport transfers, regional transport, rail travel, touring and tipping are included. Northern Lights sightings remain weather-dependent, but late autumn and winter offer strong conditions. This route suits travellers who want Scandinavia explored thoroughly rather than sampled.

• ✦A guided Northern Lights hunt above the Arctic Circle — one of the best skies in the world.
• ✦Stockholm to Helsinki on the Tallink Silja Line — dinner, entertainment and open sea.
• ✦Polar bears, arctic foxes and 50 wild species in the landscapes of Finnish Lapland.
• ✦The Arctic Circle itself — and a certificate to prove you crossed it.
