Holiday Idea
Embark on an eight-night journey of unparalleled indulgence. Begin in Helsinki at the sophisticated 5-star Hotel St. George, then ascend high above the Arctic Circle to stay in a magnificent log cabin at an adults-only resort, complete with a private outdoor hot tub, and a sauna. Sleep beneath the stars in a glass igloo, with the northern lights as your nightly canopy. By day, traverse pristine wilderness by husky sled, snowmobile, and on foot, returning each evening to warmth, comfort, and exquisite surroundings—a winter escape where luxury, adventure, and romance meet.
