Sweden : Christmas Markets and the Icehotel

Departures: December 2011 Duration: 3 nights Price: from £998

Ease into the festive spirit at an enchanting Christmas Market amidst the hustle and bustle of Stockholm then be one of the first to stay at this season's ICEHOTEL - the 21st amazing creation, set in a tranquil and stunning snowscape. This delightful pre-Christmas break contrasts two very different locations and is the ideal trip for couples who enjoy shopping and dining as much as snowy activities, the surreal Icehotel and quite possibly, a sighting of the northern lights.

 

Itinerary

Your stay at the ICEHOTEL includes a night in a standard double Snow Room and 1 night in a Kaamos room. It is also possible to stay in one of the chalets at an additional supplement.

Day 1 UK to Stockholm transfer to Stockholm (suggest Arlanda Express Train or a taxi, both payable locally). Check in at Hotel Diplomat* for an overnight stay.

Day 2 fly to Kiruna and transfer to Jukkasjarvi by coach (option to transfer by snowmobile or husky sledge, available at a supplement). Check in at the ICEHOTEL for a 2 night stay and join a guided tour. For the night sleeping on ice you'll have a standard Snow Room*.

Day 3 at the ICEHOTEL time to enjoy optional activities or just soak up your surrounds. Please note, some activities must be booked in advance to ensure availability.

Day 4 Kiruna to UK via Stockholm check out of the ICEHOTEL and transfer to Kiruna for the flight to Stockholm and onwards to the UK.

Note when at the Icehotel guests will be provided with a one-piece thermal suit, mittens, hat and thermal waterproof boots for use during their stay (not whilst in Stockholm). The exact order of the itinerary will be given at the time of confirming your booking. 


*UPGRADE YOUR HOLIDAY?
Throughout this holiday you have the opportunity to upgrade, whether it be at your hotel in Stockholm or whilst at the Icehotel. Upgrades are entirely optional and you can take one or more, subject to availability. 

Upgrades generally require an additional supplement, see Prices and Departures » 

  • Stockholm it is possible to upgrade to a Water View Room at Hotel Diplomat.
  • Icehotel (cold accommodation): a night in a standard Snow Room is inlcuded in this holiday. It may be possible to upgrade to an Ice Room or one of the individually-themed Art Suites. If you are unsure about sleeping on ice or perhaps have back problems but would still like to try it, some people book the standard package and reserve an additional warm room as a back-up - this requires a supplement and is subject to availability. Sleeping in a Snow Room, or any of the cold rooms is a great experience (not as cold as you may think!) and is what most people come here to do. However, if you prefer to spend all your nights in heated accommodation this may be possible, subject to availability. There is much to offer during this winter break that the experience is just as unforgettable wherever you sleep!
  • Icehotel (warm accommodation): a night in a hotel-style Kaamos room is included in this holiday. It may be possible to upgrade to a stay in a Nordic or Northern Lights Chalet. 

It is also possible to extend your stay in Stockholm and at the Icehotel.
