The new six-day Stars of Scandinavia tour from Map Travel takes visitors to two locations in Finland known for exceptional Aurora viewing
The new adventure also includes accommodations in new luxurious igloo-style, glass-roofed cabins with a striking presence against the Finnish tundra.
The program begins in Tromso, Norway and travels first to Kilpisjärvi, Finland where the new two-story Wow House “igloo” cabins face North for optimal viewing of the Northern Lights. Just 30 miles from the Arctic Ocean, Kilpisjärvi has virtually no light pollution with a population of a little over 100 residents.
In these unique igloos, guests can lie on luxe queen-sized beds in comfort and warmth while experiencing the magic of the Northern Lights overhead. Rooms have been specially outfitted with low-level red lighting to enable guests’ eyes to adjust to the night sky.
The second stop travels south to Rovaniemi, Finland, the capital of Lapland, located right on the Arctic Circle. Here the Lappish Kammi Suites have been ecologically designed to provide both clear viewing of the Aurora and sustainable accommodations. The igloo design extends to full glass domes over the bedroom on the mezzanine level for clear viewing of the night sky.
Daytime activities offer a range of Lapland adventure with dogsledding, a fat bike tour over the frozen tundra, and snowmobiling to the border point of Norway-Finland-Sweden to meet reindeer and indigenous people in an exploration of Sami culture.
The new concept, which isis available from December 2021 through March 2021, was developed by travel experts at Off the Map Travel who recognized a desire for visitors to experience an exciting, socially distanced holiday
