Happy Two Year
Happy New Year TWO you! If you’re a really big fan of the celebrations how about doing it twice on December 31?
And even better... it could be under the Northern Lights of Lapland. You’ll experience New Year first in Finland, then head to a frozen river in Sweden, which is one hour behind Finnish time, so you can welcome in 2019 all over again.
Guests on the trip will be based in Overkalix in Sweden with the New Year Twice event taking place on the frozen River Torne, 30 miles to the east, which straddles the border.
The setting will be illuminated by flaming torches and bonfires, and there will be ice bars, music, the inevitable sauna and activities such as a ride on a reindeer sled, ice swimming and curling.
Tour firm Off the Map Travel is offering a three-night full-board
itinerary from €1,445 per person including airport transfers, the double New Year experience and dog sledding. International flights are extra. offthemap.travel
If you’ve won the lottery and want to do it in exclusive style and at insane cost, how about greeting 2019 in both Sydney and Los Angeles?
Luxury firm Privatefly has an A-list itinerary using a super-fast Gulfstream G550 private jet packed with decadent treats that allows you to celebrate the countdown to Celebrations in Sweden and Sydney
midnight in Sydney, then fly eastwards for 13.5 hours to LA – 19 hours behind the Aussie city – to arrive in time to party again.
A spokesman said: “This unique flight experience is only possible by private jet, as the timings are so tight.”
The jet holds eight and that insane cost is... from $31,950 per person – and you’ll need to pay for flights to Sydney and from LA too.
But just think about the caviar, champagne, lobster, music, movies and lie-flat seats you get to enjoy for
