When to go
Best time to visit Scandinavia
December to March. Lapland has deep snow and long dark nights for the aurora from December to March; November and April are quieter, with less certain snow. The icebreaker sails when the sea is frozen, usually January to April.

Prafull's notes
- Pack thermal layers, a down jacket, gloves, a hat and snow boots; it is often −20°C in midwinter.
- Northern lights need clear, dark skies; two or three trips give you the best odds.
- Santa Claus Village is busiest in December; January and February are calmer.
- Days are short in midwinter, with only a few hours of twilight in the far north.

Are the prices in rupees?
Our prices are in euros per person and are payable in rupees at the day's exchange rate; GST (5%) and TCS are added.
