Step into a winter experience that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
The Finland Hidden Gems Escape has been thoughtfully designed for travelers who want more than just a trip—they want to feel immersed in a destination. From the design-forward charm of Helsinki to the quiet, snow-covered beauty of Finnish Lapland, this journey blends atmosphere, intention, and unforgettable moments.
This is not a rushed itinerary or a checklist of sights.
It’s a carefully curated escape with boutique accommodations, Nordic wellness elements, meaningful local experiences, and space to truly take it all in.
Finland Escape Features & Experiences
Helsinki | 2 Nights
DECEMBER 1st & 2nd
Begin your escape in Helsinki, where modern Nordic design meets seasonal charm.
This portion of the journey is intentionally paced to help you settle in, connect with the group, and experience the city in a way that feels immersive—not overwhelming. Expect cozy cafés, festive touches, local dining, and beautifully designed spaces that reflect the heart of Finland.
Lapland | 4 Nights
From Helsinki, we travel north into the stillness of Lapland—where the landscape transforms into something truly unforgettable.
Here, your days will balance iconic experiences with space to simply enjoy the surroundings.
Expected highlights include:
-
Husky sledding through snowy forests
-
Reindeer experiences rooted in local culture
-
Traditional Finnish sauna rituals
-
Multiple opportunities to witness the Northern Lights
A defining moment of the journey will be your glass igloo or glass-ceiling stay—a quiet, breathtaking finale designed to fully immerse you in the Arctic sky.
Optional Porvoo Extension | 2 Nights
For those who want to extend the experience, a two-night stay in Porvoo offers a softer, slower ending.
With cobblestone streets, historic charm, and a storybook winter atmosphere, Porvoo is the perfect place to unwind and reflect before heading home.
A Personally Hosted Journey
This is more than a planned itinerary—it’s a hosted experience.
Katie Andrews will be with you throughout the journey, guiding the group across Finland, overseeing every detail, and creating a seamless experience from start to finish.
