FINLAND WINTER JOURNEY Designed by Gabriella Brundu

As anyone in Finnish Lapland will tell you, lapping up their winter wonderland is all about preparation. The sparkling snowfields, frozen lakes, stunning fjords and silent forests are pure joy—because we have thought of everything. We hop aboard an ice breaker, dash through the snow with reindeer, cross country ski, snowshoe, dogsled, fish for Arctic King crab, and relax in a luxe hotel made of ice!
