Day 1 Wednesday 30th October

Make your way to London Heathrow for your flight to Helsinki where you'll be met by your tour host and taken straight to the beautiful Hilton Strand hotel which is located right on the waterfront with amazing sea views. After checking in we begin our trip with a 2-hour private city sightseeing tour. The tour will give you a fabulous overview of everything there is to see in the capital city. On our return we'll host a short welcome reception.

 

Day 2 Thursday 31st October

Today is our only free day, if you want a relaxing day then why not try one of the more than 3 million saunas in Finland (yep, its true!!). If you want to explore a little, then take a day trip (by ferry) over to Tallinn (in Estonia) where you'll see one of the World's most beautiful city's, with its Medieval architecture, stunning Eastern Orthodox Cathedral, cobblestone streets and lots of cafe's and shops. The evening is free.

 

Day 3 Friday 1st November

Don't forget to get up in time for the incredible buffet breakfast at the hotel (all included). We depart the hotel at 11.45am for the short drive over to the Olympic Stadium for a 1-hour tour. The largest stadium in Finland was originally built for the 1940 Olympics (which were cancelled due to WW2) and finally hosted the 1952 games. The highlight of the tour is a trip to the top of the tower which is 72m (236ft) tall and provides panoramic views over the city. Then we hit the road to Tampere for the first NHL Global Series game. When we arrive we head straight to our pre game hospitality venue where we've got all-inclusive food and drink as well as a meet and greet with a former NHL star who'll take photos with you, sign autographs and give you the inside scoop on the game. Then we walk over to the Nokia Arena ready for face-off between the Stars and Panthers.  We head back to Helsinki after the game.

 

Day 4 Saturday 2nd November

Day two of the Global Series, and mid-morning (after another incredible breakfast) we take the bus back to Tampere, this time we arrive a little early as we have a private tour of the Finnish Ice Hockey Hall of Fame. Then it’s on to our pregame hospitality venue where we're hosted by another NHL Legend with food and drinks all included. The Nokia Arena will be buzzing again as the Stars and Panthers do battle.

 

Day 5 Sunday 3rd November

After a good night's sleep and one final breakfast we head to the airport for the nonstop flight back to London.

 Travel Insurance

We always recommend you take out Travel Insurance and below we've listed just some of the reasons why:

  1. Life is unpredictable. Some trips need to be cancelled.
    With the right travel insurance, you won't have to pay for a trip you are unable to take.
  2. Most lost luggage takes five days to return to its owner.
    Travel insurance provides coverage to replace needed items right away.
  3. Lost or forgotten medication?
    Travel insurance will assist you in locating a pharmacy to purchase a new prescription.
  4. Travelers stateside and abroad can become ill or injured during their trip.
    Travel insurance can provide peace of mind – especially for travel outside the United States, where many hospitals request cash payments in the thousands before treatment can even begin.
  5. Health insurance may not go the distance.
    The majority of health insurance (including Medicare), worker’s compensation insurance, third-party and personal liability policies don’t cover international travel. In fact, a closer look at the inside of your passport will reveal that the government recommends travel insurance when traveling outside the United States.
  6. In the event of a natural disaster, airline strike or act of terrorism, airlines will not refund the cost of your ticket. Travel Insurance plans can cover the cost and help you get home quickly and safely.
  7. Credit card coverage, homeowners and auto insurance, none of these provide sufficient coverage for travel. Even combined, they may not offset the cost of a medical emergency overseas.
  8. In the unlikely case of supplier default. If a cruise line, airline or other travel provider ceases operations, travel insurance saves you from paying for a trip you'll really never get to take.
  9. We all experience tough economic times.
    The loss of a job or other income might mean a trip planned in advance may have to wait. Travel insurance puts cash back into your hands when you need it most.
