Popular Christmas In Lapland Tour Re-Released

Celebrate Christmas under the Northern Lights this year with an unforgettable visit to Santa’s home town in Finnish Lapland.

Bentours has secured more availability on its previously sold out 5-day Christmas in Lapland tour which is based in Rovaniemi from NZ$2219* per person twin share.

This family-friendly adventure departs December 23 with highlights including a visit to Santa’s secret hideaway where the kids can decorate a tree with Santa’s helpers, a reindeer sleigh ride to earn an ‘international reindeer driver’s licence’, a traditional Finnish Christmas dinner and a visit from Santa after the meal.

On Christmas Day, attend an optional traditional Lutheran church service delivered in Finnish, visit the Snowfun Park for tobogganing, kick-sledding and other fun activities and on Boxing Day visit the Arktikum Science Centre & Museum to learn about the history and culture of the Arctic region.

The tour also includes 4 nights’ accommodation at a hotel of your choice, four dinners, four breakfasts, one lunch, return airport transfers and outer winter clothing during the program.

Optional activities are available including a visit to a husky musher’s camp, an igloo dinner and a moonlight snowmobile safari in search of the Northern Lights, which are this year expected to be at their brightest in 50 years.
For bookings or further information contact your local travel agent, or Bentours on 0800 443 510 or www.bentours.co.nz.
* Terms and conditions apply. Price is per person based on twin share accommodation at the tourist class Sokos Hotel Vaakuna. Price is accurate as at 26 October 2012 and subject to change and availability.
