Deep within the Arctic Circle, Finnish Lapland is a magical land of undulating fells, numerous lakes and silent forests, across which herds of wild reindeer roam freely. Once the snow arrives in November, the fells become criss-crossed with trails, and are a paradise for cross-country skiers.
At the other extreme of the country, on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Helsinki surprises with its extraordinarily varied cultural atmosphere and impressive Neo-Classical and modern architecture, and as such makes an enthralling city to explore.


Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki are three of northern Europe’s most exciting cities. Featuring well-located hotels and an overnight Baltic Sea cruise, this journey by rail and boat takes in all three. Experience summer or winter in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki.


To travel here, then, is to experience life at its contented best, and this holiday takes you by train and boat between four of the finest cities that northern Europe has to offer. Each city evolves throughout the winter: travel in December and you will be rewarded with atmospheric markets and twinkling Christmas lights.


To travel here, then, is to experience life at its contented best, and our ‘Exploring in Style’ version of this holiday does just what it suggests: with first-class train travel, a deluxe overnight ferry cabin, and stays at specially chosen, high-quality hotels.

A holiday to the wild and unspoiled landscapes of Finnish Lapland will live long in the memory, whether for the exciting range of snow activities on offer or the outstanding accommodation. The country’s capital, Helsinki, is equally memorable – a creative city with an intoxicating mix of east and west, as well as a renowned Design District.
