Dinner
After breakfast check out. We start our day with a day visit to Tallinn – The Capital of Estonia. We board an approx. 2hrs passenger ferry and sailing on the Baltic Sea we get into this new country. Its time for all of us to explore this new destination joining a guided tour.
Tallinn’s Old Town encompasses endless treasures for history buffs and culture hounds alike. Known for being one of the world’s best-preserved Hanseatic town centers, the vibrant village-like area features cobblestone streets, lively cafés, and architecture from long-ago centuries.
Start your experience at the Town Hall Square. While you might be tempted to keep your eyes cast up at the colorful buildings, look down until you find the distinctive circular stone marked with a compass. Standing atop it gives you the unique vantage point to see the steeples of five historic churches around Tallinn. Then, make your way inside the church-like Town Hall. Erected in 1404, the oldest town hall in Northern Europe boasts magnificent Gothic arches and precious artworks. Another prominent spot in Tallinn’s Old Town is the Viru Gate. Once part of the city wall’s defense system, this 14th-century structure features fairy-tale-esque, round towers topped with coned roofs fit for a princess. Nearly two kilometers of the original city wall is still standing. You can get a good look at this historic structure from the Patkuli viewing platform on Toompea Hill.
Later we cross the sea again to return to Helsinki, have dinner and finally board the The Finnish VR Double Decker night train, known as the Santa Claus Express, which travels from Helsinki to snow-covered Lapland in the north to Rovaniemi. Overnight on board the train

Breakfast, Dinner
Post a hearty breakfast (could be on board the train or at a local restaurant depending on the timing). We disembark at Rovaniemi and then proceed to see the Ranua Zoo – the home of Polar Beer, Artic foxes and many other Arctic species etc to be seen in their natural habitat.
Arctic animals live in this wildlife park; a total of about 50 northern and arctic animal species and about 150 animal individuals. Well-being is one of the central values of Ranua Wildlife Park and they want to act responsibly. Most of the residents were born in shelter conditions here or in other animal parks, and are used to the presence of humans – still they ask all the visitors to respect the peace of the animals in their own home, and to behave in a calm manner near the enclosures. The only polar bear in Finland lives in this wildlife park, and they also have wolves, lynxes, wolverines, brown bears, arctic fox, owls, moose, reindeer, otters and much more! The animals have spacious enclosures in the middle of the forest, which resemble their natural habitat.
The enclosures also provide animals with hiding places and opportunities for choice; sometimes animals want to be alone, eat or sleep, and other times they want to observe their surroundings or play – either alone or together. Be patient and wait quietly by the enclosures to see the animals. If the enclosure seems quiet, it’s worth coming again after a while; the animals may be eating or napping. Later we drive to hotel in Rovaniemi for an overnight stay. Dinner could be served either in a restaurant or the hotel itself.

In Rovaniemi, the child in every individual springs back as you start humming the ” Jingle Bells” song spontaneously when you enter into the Santa Claus Village. Here, you will feel how your childhood dreams and fancies have suddenly turned into reality when you visit the office of Santa Claus.
In this village you get ample of options on your own to explore like Snowmobiling husky sledge ride, reindeer sledge ride etc. You may post a letter for your loved ones residing anywhere in the globe directly from the post office of Santa.

Stay in Kiruna
Breakfast, Dinner
Post breakfast, after a little rest in the hotel, we will transfer you to an Amazing Sighting of the one & only authentic Ice Hotel…just 12 km off Kiruna. Let’s Explore…a Lifetime Experience!!
The story of Ice hotel starts in 1989, when it became the world’s first and largest hotel made of ice and snow in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi – 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. It’s also Sweden’s most unique and probably most extensive private art hall. Icehotel is all about ice and creativity – with art as the result. That’s why the artists invited to take part are not required to have worked with ice before – they’re selected from among those who send in their ideas based on originality and creating it in real
natural ice would pose a new challenge. Each year some 40 artists are taking part in Icehotel. The notion that several weeks’ hard work and months of planning and preparation culminate in something that only exists for a few months is in some respects a bittersweet feeling.
Once we are done we drive straight to Tromso – the cradle of Northern Light in the Arctic Zone.
Once at Tromso we spend the night at the comfort of the hotel preceded by dinner.

You will also get to see and possibly also touch some the different species that move across the ocean floor. Here you’ll find fish, shellfish and plants from the sea around Tromso and Svalbard. A visit to Polaria gives you a unique opportunity to study life under the sea in the Arctic up close. Spot the wolffish hiding in the seaweed and see the halibut splashing on the surface etc.
Post the visit we take up the Cable Car ride which runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge Storsteinen (421 meters above sea level) in just 04 minutes.
