They posted in the Finland forum, so that is likely where they want to go.

Yes - I was looking for Finland. A friend was hosting a private tour in Jan 2025, 7-day land package from Helsinki to Kakslauttanen (Igloos) resort: $6999 + Int'l and Domestic airfare. i think it's far too expensive and would like to know of other, more reasonable options.
Seeing the Aurora is on DH's bucket list (along with everyone else)...
Thanks!

That sounds incredibly expensive to be honest. You can arrange a 7 day trip on your own for a fraction of that cost.

@Badger, Thank you for that feedback. Our hosting friend has wealthy connections, but we are not among them. I believe he took a base itinerary and loaded it with lots of upgrades. I will read your NL post and keep looking.
