From Stockholm by ferry to Turku in Finland, and then by night train to Rovaniemi: the Santa Claus Express from Helsinki to northern Finnish Lapland. Night trains are a very common means of transport in Finland. In order to get to the north of Finland in Lapland's capital Rovaniemi, reporter Patrick Wira first takes a modern ferry from Stockholm to Finland. There is even a sauna on the ship! The journey goes across the Baltic Sea to Turku. From there the Santa Claus Express starts in the early evening to Lapland in the far north. Patrick meets Finnish workers, a Cornish train tourist and even an old school friend on his journey.
