Northern lights

Northern Lights Cruises

Set sail on one of our northern lights cruises in 2023 & 2024 and witness the mysterious spectacle of the Aurora Borealis – one of Earth’s greatest natural wonders.

With the first recorded sighting dating back to a 30,000-year-old cave painting in France, it's clear that this extraordinary natural phenomenon has been delighting humans for thousands of years. For the chance to enjoy this elusive light show, join one of our dedicated northern lights cruises that sail to Iceland or Norway in late autumn or early spring.

Cruise through the dramatic landscapes of the fjords and the far north, stepping ashore to explore remote towns by day and then returning to the ship to gaze skywards in search of the magical illuminations by night. Set sail on a northern lights cruise from the UK and discover glorious natural scenery, the fascinating culture of the Sami people, and waterside towns such as scenic Bergen, as well as vibrant cities such as Reykjavík and Tromsø. Some of our cruises include passages through the mighty fjords off the coast of Norway and Iceland, while longer voyages might journey even further north, to the stunning Lofoten Isles or way beyond the Arctic Circle to the very tip of Europe.
