Don’t stay indoors this winter—the silver-white world of the Nordics is vibrant on land, sea, and air, waiting for you to explore.

With Euyatour’s Nordic journeys, we guarantee your stay in a glass-domed aurora cabin to await the magical northern lights, while experiencing seven major winter highlights: ice fishing on frozen lakes, aurora night tours, visits to a purple quartz mine within the Arctic Circle and the unique tree ice formations in Rokua, exploring snow fortresses, dog sledding and reindeer sleigh adventures in the wilderness, and a visit to Santa Claus Village in the Arctic Circle. These exciting itineraries take you both up the mountains and out to sea to experience the season’s unique charm. The carefully curated “Land & Sea Aurora” and “Winter in Finland” packages are the most popular choices among travelers.

It is believed that seeing the aurora will bring you lifelong happiness, so it’s worth the wait. We have selected accommodation spots in Inari and Lapland with minimal light pollution. Our glass-domed aurora cabins are built in serene forests and fields with very little artificial light, giving you a peaceful environment to await the arrival of the auroras and more time to witness the northern lights, making your dreams come true. Each aurora cabin comes with a private bathroom, allowing you to wash up conveniently without having to brave the cold outdoors.

The Luosto Amethyst Mine in Finnish Lapland is the world’s only publicly accessible gemstone mine, sure to delight any gem enthusiast. Ride the region’s unique amethyst train through the snow-covered forests of Luosto, with spectacular tree ice formations along the way. Once inside the mine, listen to guides share the long-standing legends of amethysts among the Sámi people, then try your luck at mining your own lucky amethyst using a small hammer—you can even take one home as a lasting memento.

Santa Claus hails from Finland, and you can meet him in Santa Claus Village within the Arctic Circle. Here, you can take a photo with him and fulfill a childhood dream. Don’t forget to send a postcard stamped with the special local postmark as a warm greeting to yourself or a loved one.

The pristine Nordic lands, blanketed in silver-white in winter, are a paradise for cold-climate animals. The sturdy and intelligent huskies are especially adorable as they race through the snow. Embrace the local way of life by hopping on a husky sleigh—just a few simple commands are all you need to explore the snowy wilderness, making it one of the most fun activities for an in-depth Nordic adventure.

Euyatour’s newly curated 【Norwegian Legend Cruise x Winter Dreams Finland – Land & Sea Aurora Happiness Trip (10/11 Days)】 lets travelers chase the aurora by both sea and land. The itinerary features a special 3-day, 2-night aurora cruise, as well as dog sledding and king crab fishing experiences.

We’ve handpicked Hurtigruten cruise ships, led by experienced and professional captains who navigate through intricate narrow waterways, allowing you to admire the beauty of high mountains, steep cliffs, islands, coastlines, and fjords on both sides. When the northern lights appear at night, the captain will make an announcement so you can enjoy the spectacle comfortably without braving the cold.

The award-winning 【Winter in Finland (including Sweden) 10 Days】 (recognized with the 2014 Gold Quality Travel Award) is also a favorite among travelers. In addition to viewing the aurora, it offers a unique winter activity: an icebreaker experience. Sail the Bothnian Bay on the SAMPO icebreaker, where the ship’s over 3,500-ton hull crushes through half-meter-thick ice—a truly awe-inspiring sight. For adventure seekers, you can even don the famously nicknamed “lobster suit” survival suits and float in the frozen sea—an unforgettable extreme experience.
