About Us

About Us

Lapland Private is a bespoke travel design company and destination management partner, creating fully customized holidays for independent travelers and private groups across Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Lapland.

Local Experts – Global Standards

Our team is based in Lapland year-round, with deep regional knowledge and a carefully vetted network of trusted partners. Every journey is designed individually, with a strong focus on personalisation, comfort and intelligent use of your time, so that your holiday feels effortless from the first idea to the journey home.

Our clients are experienced travellers who value authenticity, privacy and quality. They come to us for local insight that goes beyond guidebooks, for logistics that simply work and for a level of curation that filters out tourist traps, generic packages and unnecessary compromises.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family or a group of friends, we make sure every part of your journey is thoughtfully considered and genuinely worth your time.

Services

  • Tailor-Made Itineraries: We design each travel plan from scratch, not from templates or automated tools. Your itinerary is built around your preferences, travel style and group dynamic, with a clear structure that still leaves room to breathe, slow down or be spontaneous when it matters.

  • Expert Logistics & Seamless Planning: We take care of the practical framework of your trip, from private transfers and handpicked accommodation to the careful scheduling of activities and services. The result is a journey where routes make sense, days feel balanced and you are free to enjoy your time instead of managing details.

  • Curated Experiences & Local Support: We work only with trusted providers that our team has tested and selected personally. Throughout your stay, our local support team is on hand if you need assistance, adjustments or simply reassurance, so you never have to navigate Lapland alone if something changes.

Values

  • Personalization & Quality:  Every journey is tailored with care, from the first proposal to the final itinerary. We focus on quality over quantity, choosing experiences, accommodations and services that match your expectations and the level of comfort you are used to.

  • Integrity & Sustainability: We operate with transparency, fairness and long term partnerships. As certified in sustainable travel, we prioritise responsible experiences and local partners who share our values, so that your holiday supports the destination you are enjoying.

  • Reliability & Transparency: You can expect clear communication, realistic options and no hidden surprises. From the first conversation to your return home, our team remains available, keeping you informed and supported at every step.
