Sleighbell Spectacular 3 night stay
This festive Sleighbell Spectacular stay offers a wonderful three-night Santa Trip to Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland. Designed for families and travellers who appreciate a well-organised and straightforward holiday, this tour departs directly from Dublin and takes you straight to the heart of the Arctic. Rovaniemi is famous as the official hometown of Santa Claus, and you will find the holiday spirit everywhere, from the snowy forests to the charming town centre. Travel Escapes provides excellent value by including all the essentials, from your direct flights and airport transfers to full thermal clothing that keeps you warm in the sub-zero temperatures.
Throughout your Sleighbell Spectacular stay, you will be based in comfortable accommodation such as the Sky Hotel or Ounasvaara Chalets, both of which are surrounded by stunning natural scenery. The itinerary is packed with authentic Lapland experiences, including husky-pulled sledge rides, reindeer farm visits, and snowmobile adventures. You will also have a private family meeting with Santa Claus, which is a truly special moment for children and adults alike. We visit Joulukka, a unique forest location where you can see the Elves’ Command Centre and even attend a gingerbread-decorating session at Elf School.
Meals are well-catered for, with breakfasts, lunches, and dinners included as per the itinerary, ensuring you never have to worry about finding a place to eat in the snow. A highlight of the trip is the festive dinner and show held at Santa Park, providing a grand finale to your Arctic adventure. This Santa Trip is focused on creating lasting memories through traditional activities like tobogganing and building snowmen in the unspoilt woodlands. On your final day, there is time to explore Santa Claus Village and send letters from his official post office before heading home. This is a practical, fun-filled, and thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the magic of Lapland with the peace of mind that comes from booking with an established Irish travel specialist.
