Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) August 31, 2011
Winter may be a few months away, but one company already has snow on the mind. Nordic Visitor, a fully-licensed travel agency with local offices in Scandinavia, has recently enhanced its Lapland vacation packages and destination information in preparation for the busy winter travel season ahead.
The northernmost part of Scandinavia, Lapland is a fascinating destination for travelers of all ages and interests. Owing to its location in the Arctic Circle, this region is best known for its enchanting winter landscapes, Sami culture, traditional saunas and incredible aurora displays as well as outdoor pursuits like dogsledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and more.
Lapland is also well-known as the home of Santa Claus and his trusty companions, reindeer, which are popular features in a number of Nordic Visitor's vacation packages. Several tours include entrance to the whimsical Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, Finland along with visits to traditional reindeer farms, where guests can earn their "reindeer driving licenses" or take part in a special Lappish ceremony of crossing the Arctic Circle.
The ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden is another of Lapland's most famous landmarks. Rebuilt each year with chunks of snow and ice from the nearby Torne River, this hotel offers unique lodging in beautifully hand-crafted suites plus the chic ICEBAR and the romantic ice chapel. In addition to overnights at the ICEHOTEL, Nordic Visitor also offers accommodation at the SnowCastle in Kemi, Finland and the Igloo Hotel in Alta, Norway.
For those who can't wait to play in the snow, Nordic Visitor is now offering a 5% early bird discount on all of its best-selling holidays in Lapland for bookings made from September 1st through October 3rd, 2011 with arrivals between February and March of 2012. These top sellers span a range of activities--from northern lights tours to thrilling husky safaris--and each itinerary can be tailored to customers' needs and interests.
And to help travelers make the most of their stay in Lapland, Nordic Visitor recently introduced new day tours in Rovaniemi, with plans to launch additional day tours in other Lapland destinations in the coming weeks. The company also launched an online Lapland Travel Guide, providing visitors with helpful tips about what to pack and what to expect with the climate and daylight in Lapland.
