Our festive breaks are designed with families in mind, and we find that children aged 4 and over tend to enjoy the experience most. We understand, however, that many families travel with siblings of different ages. We do not recommend travelling with infants under six months old, and if our local guides consider the weather or conditions unsuitable for a child under two to join an activity, one adult will need to remain behind with them.

We charter British Airways aircraft to offer direct flights from London Heathrow to Kittilä Airport in Finnish Lapland, with a flight time of approximately 3.5 hours. We also pre-allocate seats across the entire aircraft, helping to ensure that families are seated together.

The price of your holiday includes flights, transfers, thermal clothing, local guiding and all of the activities shown in the itinerary for your chosen break. Extras may include alcoholic or additional drinks, souvenirs and any optional activities you decide to add during your stay, such as ice fishing or cross-country ski school. These can usually be booked once you are in Lapland, giving you the flexibility to decide whether you would like to include anything further.

Each of our festive breaks offers a slightly different journey to meet Santa, but every family enjoys a private visit. You can send your children’s letters to Santa us before travelling, or discreetly hand them to your local guide on arrival, so they can be passed on to Santa in time for the meeting. We also send each child a personalised invitation from Santa before departure, helping the magic begin long before you reach Lapland.

Our Santa breaks operate throughout December, with a choice of three- and four-night stays leading up to Christmas. Our departure dates for 2026 and 2027 are:

• 4–7 December
• 7–11 December
• 11–14 December
• 14–17 December
• 17–20 December
• 20–23 December
• 23–27 December

Snow usually arrives in Lapland by the middle of November, and we have never had difficulty operating our festive breaks from the beginning of December onwards. Because we work with small groups, we have greater flexibility to adapt timings and itineraries where necessary, helping us to continue delivering the included activities. In the unlikely event that a complete lack of snow made it impossible for us to operate any of the activities, you would be entitled to a full refund.

We can cater for most dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, coeliac and lactose-free diets. Please let us know about any specific requirements at the time of enquiry, and we will be very happy to help. While every reasonable care is taken, we cannot guarantee that food will be completely free from cross-contamination.

For guests with a life-threatening allergy that may require immediate, time-sensitive medical intervention, we do not recommend travelling to the part of Lapland in which we operate. While medical assistance is available locally, the nearest full hospital is in Rovaniemi, approximately 200 kilometres away.
