Visit Rovaniemi

Christmas & New Years

You have come to the right place if you are interested in visiting Scandinavia in the festive season. We go out of our way to offer you unparalleled white Christmas experiences in our region, from sleeping in glass igloos under the skies of Finland or a log cabin in Sweden. Meeting Santa in Lapland is an unforgettable family highlight.

We specialise in multi-generation family travel experiences and escorted tours. Read here for reviews from families who have travelled at Christmas time with 50 Degrees North.

Our Scandinavian experts can assist you with flight connections from North America to meet these tours as well as adding pre- and post- accommodation in the Nordic capitals. All the cities have many lovely Christmas markets to visit as well as activities such as ice-skating and strolling through the Christmas shops during your stopover.

Many of our holidays include private cabins and apartments for your family only, with activities in small groups.

There is very limited spots left for Christmas 2023 at this late stage. Book now for Christmas 2024.
