New Year in Lapland

There is no better place to welcome in the New Year than beneath the snow-laden skies of Finnish Lapland, where frozen forests, glittering starry skies and the possibility of the Northern Lights create a backdrop unlike anywhere else on earth. Canterbury Travel has been crafting magical Lapland holidays since 1970, and our New Year Lapland Arctic Adventures are designed for those who want more than a party – they want an experience they will never forget. Whether you are travelling as a family, a couple or a group of friends, ringing in the New Year in Lapland’s wilderness is as extraordinary as it sounds. 

New Year Lapland Arctic Adventures — An Unforgettable Celebration

At the heart of every New Year Lapland Arctic Adventure is a selection of authentic activities that put you right in the middle of this incredible winter landscape. All three of our New Year Lapland holidays include husky sledding, reindeer safaris and snowmobile excursions – the classic trio of Lapland experiences that bring the wilderness to life in the most exhilarating way. As midnight approaches, every guest at every resort joins together for a New Year's Eve dinner and party, raising a glass in true Arctic style as the clock strikes twelve. 

We offer New Year Lapland holidays across three hand-picked Finnish resorts, each with its own character and catering style to suit different tastes. At Luosto, holidays are based on bed and breakfast, with the flexibility to upgrade to half-board – either a sociable buffet dinner or an indulgent à la carte experience. Ruka is a half-board holiday with the option to enhance your dining to à la carte for a more refined Arctic evening. Suomu offers the most inclusive option, with full board included throughout, so you can relax and focus entirely on the adventure ahead.

From Day Trips to New Year Celebrations — Discover Your Perfect Lapland Holiday

For those who want to experience the wonder of the Arctic without committing to a longer break, our Lapland day trips are the ideal starting point. Flying from airports across the UK, these expertly planned one-day adventures drop you straight into a world of snow and wilderness, with husky rides, snowmobile adventures, reindeer safaris and a truly magical meeting with Father Christmas all waiting for you. It is an unforgettable day out that will stay with your family long after you have returned home. 

If you are looking for a little more time to breathe it all in, our Lapland short breaks strike the perfect balance between adventure and pure relaxation. Lasting between two and four nights, these breaks allow you to settle into the rhythm of resort life, wake up each morning to dazzling snow-covered scenery, and take part in a wider range of Arctic activities at your own pace. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a group of friends or a family, a short break is a wonderful way to experience Finnish Lapland properly. 

For those who want to immerse themselves completely, our Christmas holidays and New Year holidays in Lapland are simply in a league of their own. Picture Christmas morning surrounded by silent, snow-blanketed forests, watching the joy on your children's faces as they meet Santa in his special home, or counting down to midnight beneath a sky full of stars as the New Year arrives in spectacular fashion. With our dedicated Canterbury Travel Lapland team by your side every step of the way, all you have to do is show up and let Lapland do the rest.
