#pehmeätkyydit for Your Pre-Christmas Party
The Party Starts on the Journey!
Gather your colleagues, association members, hobby group or friends and celebrate the festive season with Matka Mäkelä. When we take care of the transport, you can focus on what really matters – enjoying time together and getting into the party spirit from the moment you step on board.
You can book just the transport for your group, whether you’re heading to a Christmas dinner, concert or cruise. If you would like help planning the entire trip, including the schedule and route, our experienced team will be happy to help with that too. Simply tell us about your group and what you have in mind, and we’ll create a trip that suits you.
And when the festive season gets into full swing, our coaches get into the Christmas spirit too. The Christmas lights come on, and your shared experience begins before you’ve even reached your destination.
All you need to do is gather your group. We’ll take care of the comfortable and festive journey.
Give the Gift of Experiences and Time Together
The best gifts don’t always come in packages. Time spent together is a gift that is always appreciated – and one that creates lasting memories.
Give someone special a day trip together, a holiday to look forward to, a little break from everyday life or the promise of your next shared adventure.
You can choose a trip from our upcoming selection or give a Matka Mäkelä gift card, allowing the recipient to choose the trip that suits them best.
This Christmas, swap soft presents for the gift of travel – and give an experience to remember long after the presents have been opened. 🧡
