Helsinki
This bustling capital city of Finland lies on the Baltic Sea with beautiful bays dotted with scenic islands. This hip city is on the cutting edge of fashion and has a flourishing culinary scene. At the same time, it also has a rich history that still shines through its modern edge. You’ll find touches of art nouveau and neoclassical architecture and an array of intriguing museums.
Helsinki Cathedral
This imposing cathedral dominates Senate Square and is perhaps the most photographed building in the city. Built by architect Carl Ludvig Engel who worked on it for decades but it was completed in 1852, 12 years after his death. Its most noteworthy features are the sculptures of the twelve apostles that sit above the entrances. It is said that they guard the city from the roof of the church.
Lapland Region
The northern region of Finland vast and peaceful – only 3% of the country’s total population resides here. The winter is simply magical, travelers go to search of the northern lights, witness reindeer roaming free and meet Santa Claus, but also find an enchanting land of endless open land, big skies, fresh air and welcoming people.
Kakslauttenen Arctic Resort
Located at nearly the most northern tip of Europe, you’ll find this luxurious resort surrounded by nothing but wilderness. Visitors can take advantage of its many amenities stay in a variety of unique accommodations including cozy log cabins and glass igloos giving guests an unobstructed view of the night sky.
Meet & Greet with Santa
Feel like a kid again as you travel deep into the forest to visit Santa’s home. Just as you have always imagined, a giant red chalet covered with snow and adorned with white lights appears atop a hill as you make your way along a long wooden walkway to the front door, where you will be greeted by Santa himself!
Reindeer Safari
Set out for remote areas of Kakslauttanen on a relaxing reindeer safari that takes you deep into nature with local reindeer herders. Take some time to chat with the local Sami people on your one-of-a-kind adventure on a sleigh led by Finnish reindeer!
Northern Lights Searches
Set off in the darkness on an adventure in the wilderness to search for the elusive Northern Lights. Whether on a ride on a sleigh drawn by a reindeer or enjoying the panoramic views on a trek north pausing at the best viewing spots, you will be delighted by the amazing sites along the way.
Husky Safari
Venture to a local husky farm to meet these cute dogs. You will soon find out, just how much they love their jobs first-hand! Become acquainted with the friendly dogs, the commands and the equipment before embarking on a snow-covered adventure. With you as their leader, be whisked through the wilderness by these dogs that are eager to run.
Glass Igloo Accommodation
Set away from the lights and activity of the main resort are rows of glass igloos that look like something out of a sci-fi movie. Spending a night in one of them is magical. Guests can lie in bed and gaze at the night sky in waiting for the Northern Lights to reveal themselves. This is a night under the stars that is breathtaking, relaxing, romantic and one you will never forget.

Social Responsibility: It's a way of life
It’s at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We believe that travel should be a force for good and by uniting with our employees, partners and travelers, we can make a positive impact in our local and global communities.
Our Mission

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.
There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.
No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.
Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?
Making Memories Together
Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. "Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!"
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.
Learning From Each Other
Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family members have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)
Exploring Your Ancestry
Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family's roots is powerful. There's no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.
Private Touring for Families
Whether you're booking a large family trip or the best family reunion ever, you can book a private tour with 10 or more travelers. Go on. Invite everyone and their mother.
Playing New Roles
We think of people in their day-to-day roles. Parent. Sibling. Child. When you travel on tour and responsibilities shift, you let loose and get to know each other as adventurers, too.
Collette Knows Family Travel
We have been family-owned and operated since we opened our doors in 1918. Our team loves traveling with family! We truly value the magic of exploring the world together.
Less is More on a Low-Season Tour
Explore popular destinations with more flexibility and fewer crowds. Whether you're searching for tranquility or a deeper connection with the locals, off season travel is one of the best ways to experience a destination.
6 Reasons to Love the Low Season
More Affordable
Off-season travel offers significant cost savings on flights, accommodations, and day-to-day activities.
Better Service
Smaller crowds mean more personalized service and shorter wait times at restaurants, museums, and attractions.
More Peace
Peak season can be crowded and overwhelming, while the low season offers opportunities for quieter, more serene travel experiences.
Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.
More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.
Support Local Economies
Low season tourism brings vital income to local economies during quieter periods, helping to sustain businesses and livelihoods year-round.
