“Overall a fantastic holiday with a great variety of trips and activities. We enjoyed all the itinerary but highlights included the Ice Hotel- really an ice art gallery - and husky sled ride. The scenery was stunning from coach and trains - especially in the Lofoten Islands.
Our great tour guide Charles was a lot of fun and our skilful driver Sergei kept an immaculate coach.
The buffet breakfasts were super, however, there was no choice of meals and Camp Ripan served the same vegetarian main meal on both evenings that diner was included.
The group was larger than expected at 41. We travelled from and to Manchester and there was less than an hour between connecting flights at Oslo and Stockholm. We missed our connecting flight to Trondheim and had to rush between gates at Stockholm in order to catch our flight to Manchester. To reduce the risk of missing connecting flights from and to Manchester, It’s worth considering booking a later onward flight from Oslo to Trondheim (we flew an hour later), an earlier flight from Kiruna to Stockholm or even staying overnight in Stockholm and getting a Manchester flight the following day.
