NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: Tonight had partially cloudy skies, a kp of 3 and great ocean conditions with barely any waves or wind. At the start of the tour we had mostly cloud cover and some rain here and there, but the later the evening, the more they parted. We saw some big gaps revealing the night sky and stars overhead, but while those shone bright, the northern lights decided not to show themselves tonight. For this reason we handed out complimentary tickets to our passengers, giving them another chance at seeing nature's incredible lightshow.
