In Search of the Northern Lights from Southampton

We’ve timed this winter adventure to give you the chance to capture the elusive Aurora Borealis – ethereal ribbons of light that dance across the skies – both ashore and from the comfort of Balmoral. With extended stays in Alta and Tromsø, you can discover rich Arctic culture as you connect with a local Sámi community, listening to their fascinating stories in a traditional lavvu tent. There will also be opportunities to explore picturesque landscapes, often blanketed in snow at this time of year, by embarking on a snowshoe hike or a thrilling husky sled or snowmobile ride. Delve into the science behind the mesmerising Northern Lights, unlocking the secrets of this celestial spectacle.
