Hey Jace,
After going back to the drawing board I am excited to present to you your 5 nights at the magnificent Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort.
This particular igloo experience is a fan favourite, and I can't wait for you to explore its magic. I've taken care of your international flights from New Orleans, and to make your journey smoother, I've added a night at Helsinki Airport, reducing your travel time and layovers.
Your visit to Finnish Lapland is perfectly timed – the Northern Lights will be putting on a captivating display throughout your stay and I have reached out to my contacts to get the rates for the 2024 season which aren't out on general sale just yet, this will ensure we can claim your spot beneath the Northern Lights in your igloo before availability fills up.
Given that we're at the upper end of your budget, I haven't included any activities at Kakslauttanen just yet. However, we can always incorporate these details as we fine-tune your itinerary.
I really hope you love this option and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Happy travels,
Shaye Jolley
