An established specialist provider of customised, unique travel experiences, the Baltic Travel Company, has recommended that families and couples hoping to head abroad to celebrate the festive season in 2025 take action now following unprecedented demand.
The travel consultants, who organise once-in-a-lifetime holidays to far-flung destinations across the Nordics, Scandinavia and the Baltics, have recorded a substantial increase in early bookings, much of which has been prompted by the superb Northern Lights viewing conditions forecast for this winter.
Growth in Advance Bookings for Christmas 2025 Holiday Packages
Leisure travel across the tourism market is set to soar this year, with industry reports showing that 42% of travellers, or four in ten, expect to enjoy more holidays during 2025, with considerable trends in both domestic, short-haul and international flights.
Another niche area that has seen enormous growth is adventure and activity holidays, with 67% of regular travellers looking to sample unusual cuisines and cultural experiences, try glacier or mountain hiking, or immerse themselves in local languages to make a holiday something refreshingly different from the norm.
These industry-wide trends are just part of the reason the Baltic Travel Company has recorded huge upticks in early winter 2025 bookings. Meteorologists and scientists have also forecasted the season ahead to be one of the best times in decades to see the Northern Lights.
Every 11 years, the sun's magnetic fields reach a maximum energy output level, generating brighter, more vivid light displays in the night sky. This is the pinnacle of the solar cycle, which is further augmented by the levels of solar activity detected.
The spectacle is best seen as far north within the Northern Hemisphere as possible and during the deepest of the winter months, leading to spikes in bookings for festive trips, Christmas holidays, adventurous cruises and excursions, and short breaks throughout Lapland and the surrounding regions where the Aurora presents its natural spectacle.
Tourism Professionals Explain the Advantages of Organising Christmas Travel Plans in Advance
Much of the draw of festive holidays relates to guaranteed snow, outdoor winter activities, landscapes, and experiences, from ice skating to festive celebrations, sports like tobogganing and skiing, or family-friend trips to see reindeer, huskies, and rare Arctic wildlife that simply don’t exist anywhere else in the world.
Factoring the Aurora Borealis into the equation and the appetite for cost-efficient and sustainable travel experiences, alongside a long, damp winter for many, has created a strong level of interest. This is coupled with concerns about leaving bookings too late when limitations around school and workplace holidays might mean a Christmas getaway isn't possible.
Birthe Nielsen, Managing Director of the Baltic Travel Company says, ‘It is never too early to get in touch! We often speak with repeat guests who book their travel at least a year ahead, without leaving anything to chance and ensuring they have the first access to packages, deals, convenient flights and special accommodation experiences that always reach full capacity months before winter sets in.’
Independent Advice on Selecting Festive Holidays for Winter 2025
Birthe explains, 'There has been a surge of excitement and anticipation about the striking Northern Lights displays expected this winter. While we always see healthy demand for holidays to destinations like Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland and Finland, the levels of enquiries have skyrocketed, with many looking to reserve their accommodation and flights before they sell out.
Advance booking is undoubtedly advisable since we have already seen some of the most popular tours, packages, and itineraries approaching full capacity. However, that doesn't mean there won't be a magical festive holiday experience that meets your criteria.
Our personalised service, provided by our friendly travel advisers, ensures we listen closely to your bucket-list experiences, the ages and interests of your party, the dates and airports you'd like to fly from, and what a dream holiday looks and feels like for you.
We can recommend and organise Christmas market holidays over a long weekend, Arctic exploration expeditions into the heart of the frozen North, lakeside Aurora holidays to relax and unwind with a loved one, and incredible family holidays with reindeer safaris, snowmobiling, husky sledding, and of course a visit from Santa Clause all included.
The best suggestion, if you want to beat the crowds and have the peace of mind that your preferred holiday has been reserved, is to get in touch or browse our packages online.
You'll find full inclusions and exclusions, available travel dates, pricing information, itineraries and optional extras such as day trips or stays in an Aurora cabin or glass igloo that you might wish to add to your schedule via the Baltic Travel Company’s website.’
