FAQ's

Can I see Northern Lights on a Norway cruise?

Yes, it’s possible to see the Northern Lights on a Norway cruise. Northern Lights cruises along the Norwegian coast are specifically designed to take passengers into the Arctic Circle, where the chances of witnessing this natural phenomenon are higher. 

These cruises navigate through areas with minimal light pollution and optimal atmospheric conditions, providing a unique opportunity to observe the Northern Lights' dazzling displays against the backdrop of Norway's stunning landscapes.

What are the chances of seeing the Northern Lights on a cruise?

The chances of seeing the Northern Lights on a cruise depend on several factors, including the time of year, weather conditions, and how far north the cruise travels. 

The best time to embark on Northern Lights cruises is between late September and late March, when the nights are the longest in the Arctic Circle, increasing your chances of witnessing the aurora borealis.

While no guarantee can be made due to nature's unpredictability, cruises that venture closer to the Arctic Circle along the Norwegian coast improve the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights. Choosing a cruise that offers multiple nights within the Arctic Circle further enhances your chances.

How long is a Northern Lights cruise?

Our Northern Lights Cruise offers an unforgettable 13-day journey departing from Southampton, crafted to bring you deep into the heart of the Arctic Circle. 

As you navigate along the stunning Norwegian coast, this cruise provides unparalleled opportunities to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights, one of nature's most spectacular displays. 

Beyond the celestial show, you'll experience the unique beauty of the Arctic landscape, rich in wildlife and dotted with picturesque villages, making this adventure a perfect blend of natural wonder and cultural exploration.
