Our Finland family tour packages start at ₹1,13,999 per person for 5 nights and go up to ₹2,20,999 for a 7-night trip that includes a stay at Kakslauttanen. Prices are usually higher in December, especially around Christmas, when Rovaniemi is at its busiest. Staying in a glass igloo also costs more than a regular hotel.
Yes, Finland is a great destination for families with young children, as long as the trip is planned around the cold weather and shorter winter days. Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi is open all year, and activities like reindeer sleigh rides are generally suitable for young children. However, some activities have restrictions. For example, children must be at least 140 cm tall to try ice floating during the Kemi icebreaker cruise. Temperatures in Lapland often drop below -15°C in January, so we plan shorter outdoor sessions to keep families comfortable.
December to March suits most Indian families, because Lapland has reliable snow, the Northern Lights season is under way and the Kemi icebreakers are sailing (the 2026 to 2027 Sampo season runs from 18 December to 3 April). Pick December if meeting Santa is the reason for the trip, and late February or March if you want longer daylight for outdoor activities. June and July bring the midnight sun and mild weather in Helsinki, without the snow.
December to March is a good time for most Indian families to visit Finland. Lapland has plenty of snow, there's a chance to see the Northern Lights, and the Kemi icebreaker cruises are operating. The Sampo icebreaker's 2026–2027 season runs from 18 December to 3 April. December is ideal if meeting Santa is your main priority, while late February and March offer longer daylight hours for outdoor activities. If you prefer milder weather, June and July are good for visiting Helsinki, while northern Lapland experiences the midnight sun. However, you won't find winter snow during these months.
No, our listed Finland prices are land packages and we quote flights separately, so you can choose dates and a departure city that suit the whole family. Finnair flies nonstop between Delhi and Helsinki, taking roughly nine to ten hours westbound. From Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai or Hyderabad, families usually connect through Delhi or a Gulf hub. Rovaniemi is a short domestic flight from Helsinki, or an overnight sleeper train ride.
Yes, Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa to visit Finland, including infants and children. You can apply through the Finland Visa Application Centre operated by VFS Global. The visa fee is €90 for anyone aged 12 and above, €45 for children aged 6 to 11, and free for children under 6. VFS charges an additional service fee per applicant. For children, parental consent and supporting documents may be required, especially if one or both parents are not travelling. We recommend applying at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip, particularly if you're travelling in December.
