Is it possible to see the Northern Lights on this tour? What is the best time to see the Northern Lights?

I am not showing that you will be able to see the Northern Lights while on this tour. You may be able to arrange an outing to see the Northern Lights with a local company. You will be able to arrange this with the Tour Director.

Does this tour include a snow sledding activity?

No, snow sledding is not an including activity in this itinerary. You would have to schedule something independently in your free time.

I'm going to need 2 extra days upon my arrival and at the end of the tour...How much would it cost me?

We can add up to 2 additional days at the beginning of the tour at the rate of $209 USD per night and up to 2 additional nights at the end of the tour at the rate of $224 USD per night.

Is the departure on 27 May 2025 confirmed? Is there possibility I book and open for sharing room with the price of USD3407? Will we get to enjoy the Santa Clause village as normal in the month of May/June 2025?

What is the additional fee for intra flight and on which day from which location to which destination?

Is there any departure date available for the month of October 2024 for this tour - Top of Scandinavia with Arctic Circle?

This tour does not have an October departure. Our last departure for 2024 will be in September.

On the days when there is heavier traveling, how long are the bus rides during the day. Are there four hour bus rides...or closer to 10 hours? I would appreciate a full and honest response so that I can assess the suitability for myself.

The timeframe on the motor coach is hard to determine. I am unable to give you specifics on the number of hours on the motor coach. There are locations you will be stopping to along the way. A detail itinerary will not be provided until you arrive on the tour due to last minute changes.

  Traveler•Written August 2024
  What is the difference between Confirm and Guaranteed? If it is not departing then it is no point I make the booking now. Approximately when can we know the group is departing? Will the atmosphere in Santa Clause Village be same as any other month in May/June?
- GlobusOperator•Written August 2024
  A confirmed tour is a tour that has been made available to book. A guaranteed tour means that this departure will likely not be cancelled. We usually guarantee the departures once guests start booking that departure date. Every season is different in Rovaniemi. In this Arctic nature wonderland, you can experience the magic of the midnight sun in summer.
