Pirates, did you know you can take an overnight train from Helsinki to Lapland, Finland, where Santa's home is? The train route is referred to as the Santa Claus Express and is a double-decker train that offers sleeper cabins for overnight stays with private bathrooms.

In peak winter season, you can still grab Helsinki flights for under £41 return, when prices start to rise for flights to Rovaniemi. So you'll save on flights, can experience two destinations, enjoy a unique and magical experience on this 11-hour overnight train, and cut the cost of accommodation for the night.

Additional Information

We might be pirates, but we’re an honest bunch. We check all our deals when we review them to make sure everything is available. However, with deals this hot, things change quickly—flight prices fluctuate, hotel rooms sell out, currencies yo-yo. But mainly, demand for the best deals means the lowest prices don’t last long. If you’ve missed out this time, don’t worry, we’re working on more great offers.
