A Magical Interlude in Lapland with Canterbury Travel
Luosto, Lapland Finland
There are trips that you enjoy… and then there are trips that stay with you forever. Last December, I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the Magical Interlude in Lapland with Canterbury Travel — and I can honestly say it was every bit as enchanting as it sounds. As a travel agent, I’m always searching for experiences that truly deliver on their promise. Lapland in winter doesn’t just deliver — it exceeds expectations in the most magical way.
First Impressions: A Winter Fairy tale
Arriving in Lapland feels like stepping straight into a snow globe. Endless white landscapes, frosted trees glistening under soft Arctic light, and that crisp, clean air that instantly makes you feel alive.
The Magical Interlude trip is perfectly designed for families and couples who want a shorter but immersive Arctic experience. It’s beautifully paced — enough time to experience the magic, without feeling rushed.
Meeting Santa in His Home
One of the most special moments was visiting Santa’s
woodland hideaway. This isn’t commercial or hurried — it feels intimate and
authentic. Watching families meet Santa in such a peaceful snowy setting was
genuinely heartwarming. It’s one of those rare travel experiences that brings
out pure childlike joy — no matter your age.
Arctic Adventures
The included activities are exactly what clients dream of
when they picture Lapland
- Husky sledding through silent snow-covered forests
- Reindeer sleigh rides beneath pale winter skies
- Snowmobile adventures across frozen landscapes
- Toasting marshmallows around an open fire
Each excursion was incredibly well organised, with knowledgeable local guides and seamless logistics throughout — something I always pay close attention to when assessing trips for my clients.
Chasing the Northern Lights
And then… the sky delivered.
One evening, away from artificial light, the Northern Lights appeared — softly at first, then swirling into vibrant greens dancing across the Arctic sky. It’s hard to describe the feeling of standing beneath that display. Quiet. Still. Completely mesmerising.
It’s a bucket-list moment — and Lapland provides the perfect stage.
Why I’d Recommend the Magical Interlude
From a professional perspective, here’s why this trip stands out:
✔ Direct flights and smooth transfers
✔ Excellent accommodation options
✔ Well-balanced itinerary
✔ Magical but manageable length (perfect for families)
✔ Genuine, authentic Arctic experiences
Canterbury Travel have truly perfected this short Lapland escape. It feels premium yet accessible, magical yet well organised.
Final Thoughts
Lapland isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling.
The Magical Interlude captures that feeling beautifully. Whether it’s children meeting Santa for the first time, couples chasing the aurora, or families sharing snowy adventures, it’s the kind of trip that becomes part of your story forever.
If Lapland is on your wish list, I’d love to help you plan your own magical interlude.
Because trust me — this is one journey you’ll never forget.
