VISITING: SAARISELKÄ IN LAPLAND & CENTRAL LONDON
8-DAY MAGICAL CHRISTMAS IN
LAPLAND & LONDON
Join ROCS Travel In The Ultimate Place To Experience Christmas
DAY 1: MALTA - LONDON - GATWICK
Meet your tour manager at the Malta International Airport for your flight to London Gatwick. ​​
​
Upon arrival you will find your coach waiting for you for your transfer to your 4* Crowne Plaza London Gatwick Hotel or similar. You will have your afternoon and evening at leisure to relax and prepare for a magical festive Christmas Adventure. ​​
DAY 2: LONDON - GATWICK - LAPLAND
Meet your tour manager at the reception of your hotel for an early morning start.
​
The coach transfer will collect you and drop you off at London Gatwick Airport, where you will be met by representatives who will assist you to check in for your 06:50 flight to Ivalo. You will be heading 200km above the Arctic Circle, to a land that feels like another world.
​
Look out for the cheeky elves who’ll meet you in Saariselkä. Can you speak their language? They will then whisk you away to the hotel that you chose when booking, either the 4* Holiday Club or the 4* Tunturi.
​
The afternoon is yours for snowy adventures - you’ll all be cosy and snuggly with complimentary thermal suits so you can properly explore a real winter wonderland. Watch the children buzz with excitement as they decide what to do first. Enjoy the thrill of tobogganing, where even grown-ups can unleash their inner child. Twist and turn your way down, then head back for another go. Create new snow friends by building snowmen and carving out snow angels in the thick snow. Have a snowball fight with unlimited powdery ammunition - your thermal suits will keep you warm and dry. Then it’s time for a tasty dinner. You’re in magical Lapland and tomorrow, we search for Santa.
​
If you are not too tired, you could always book an optional excursion to Search for the Northern Lights. See natures most spectacular light show. Dancing in the beautiful dark skies, the magic of this natural phenomenon must be seen to be believed. It’s double the fun because you get to hunt for the Northern Lights while gliding across the snow on an exciting snowmobile ride. Your guide knows all the best spots to share with you.
​
You’ll start from Saariselkä, zooming over to spotting areas with your guide, who might take you to multiple locations for the best viewing position. Grown-ups can share a snowmobile or drive individually (this costs extra), while the kids cosy up in a special sled pulled behind the guide’s snowmobile.
