Helsinki to Kirkenes - Beyond the Arctic Circle

Helsinki → Kirkenes 8 days Up to 24

About this trip

This trip takes you from Helsinki up through Lapland and across the border to Kirkenes in Arctic Norway, covering a lot of ground and a lot of winter activity along the way.

Expect proper cold-weather Arctic pursuits: husky sledding, snowmobiling, reindeer farms and a king crab safari, with evenings built around a good shot at the northern lights. There's an optional icebreaker cruise if you want to add it on.

It's a partially guided group trip, so you'll have some structure but also room to take things at your own pace, with the journey north itself as much a part of the experience as any single stop.
