Three New Year Trips to Kick Start 2020

featured

Let’s face it, trying to find that perfect way to ring in the New Year can be more stress than it’s worth. Often, the occasion is a little lacklustre and it can be difficult to find something to memorably mark the start of the New Year.

Here at Artisan Travel, our mindset is centred on bucket list moments in extraordinary destinations. Though this can be achieved year-round, we have created specific New Year trips for anyone that wishes to welcome in 2020 with a celebration like no other.

Picture spending New Year’s Eve speeding over the Arctic landscape via snowmobile before retiring to your cosy log cabin. Then as darkness falls, stepping out onto a frozen lake where the Northern Lights could be waiting in the skies above.

We think there is no better time to enjoy bucket list experiences and start your year as you mean to go on than with a winter adventure of a lifetime. We have picked out our three of our favourite trips below to get you started, but you can also talk to our Artisan Travel Experts to plan your ideal New Year itinerary on 01670 785085.

Jeris New Year in a Winter Cottage

Nothing quite says Lappish winter break better than staying in a cosy cottage surrounded by pristine snowy landscapes. At Jeris, your winter cottage accommodation is set in the wilds of Finnish Lapland and in a prime position for some outstanding winter experiences.

During this 7-night trip, your itinerary includes dog sledding, a reindeer safari, a visit to the magnificent winter village, snowmobiling and ice fishing. You will also have plenty of free time to add on more experiences or relax in the luxurious facilities of the brand new Arctic Elements: Lakeside Spa.

Utsjoki - New Year twice

If you are looking for an unforgettable and out-of-the-ordinary New Year then this trip to Utsjoki is for you. Not only will you spend a week in wild Finland where the Sámi culture is prevalent but come the big day, you’ll welcome in the new year not once, but twice!

As you celebrate from your wonderful Finnish base at the Holiday Village Valle, you’ll then move across the bridge to Norway, where due to the time difference, you’ll get to celebrate the clock striking midnight all over again.
