From the North of England to the Northern Lights
We are proud to offer a selection of exclusive departures from Manchester Airport each winter, making the Arctic Circle easily accessible from the North West.
Our Santa’s Lapland daybreaks and short breaks offer a unique family getaway to provide memories that will last for a lifetime. Drive snowmobiles down frozen rivers, ride reindeer sleighs through snow-topped forests and mush a team of husky dogs across the Arctic tundra. Of course, no visit to Lapland is complete without a visit to see Father Christmas himself – you’ve travelled a long way to see him!
But Lapland is not just for children. Our Arctic Spirit collection of short breaks is ideal for those seeking a special winter holiday. In the depths of the pristine wilderness you have the best of chances of seeing the fabled Aurora Borealis as well as experiencing a host of other exhilarating Arctic activities. Why not stay a night in an igloo too? Or even a glass cabin! And of course, you have to meet the VIPs of Lapland – the loveable reindeer.
