Details
Get ready for an unforgettable hockey getaway in Helsinki, Finland, where the Carolina Hurricanes and Seattle Kraken will face off not once, but twice!
Spend five nights in the heart of Helsinki while experiencing the city’s history, culture, and incredible hockey atmosphere. Your adventure includes tickets to both Carolina vs. Seattle games on November 12 and November 14, plus a pregame IceGate Party with food, drinks, and entertainment before the first matchup.
But this trip goes far beyond the games. Explore Helsinki on a guided city tour, step inside the legendary Helsinki Olympic Stadium during a private tour, and take the ferry to the historic Suomenlinna Sea Fortress.

With accommodations, daily breakfast, game tickets, sightseeing, transfers, taxes and fees, and an on-site host included, all you have to do is arrive ready for an incredible week in Finland.
