Adventure World has launched an exclusive Lapland adventure with its five-day Christmas in Lapland itinerary that brings the ultimate festive fairytale to life for travellers in 2026.
Lapland’s gateway town, Rovaniemi, is the officially recognised hometown of Santa Claus. While meeting the man in red is a major highlight, Adventure World’s Christmas in Lapland itinerary dives deeper into the enchantment, offering traditional Lappish culture and exhilarating Arctic adventures.
The 5-day/4-night itinerary has one exclusive departure on 23 December 2026, ensuring a very unique Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The journey blends festive tradition with Arctic exploration:

- Reindeer Farm Visit & Sleigh Ride: Immerse yourself in Lappish culture with a visit to a traditional reindeer farm, complete with a serene sleigh ride through the snowy landscape.
- Arctic Circle Crossing Ceremony: Participate in a special ceremony to officially cross the Arctic Circle, receiving a memorable Diploma to commemorate the achievement.
- Snowmobile Safari: Experience the thrill of navigating a snowmobile across frozen river valleys and snow-laden forests, offering spectacular views of the wilderness.
- Aurora Borealis Adventure: Venture into the Lappish wilderness for a dedicated Northern Lights chase, enjoying the tranquillity of nature and traditional grilling by an open fire. This excursion includes a visit to the charming historic cottage, “Poro-Pekan Pirtti.”
