NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: The night was crispy cold, with partly cloudy skies as we sailed out on the northern lights hunt tonight. The forecast predicted low chances to see the auroras (of 2/9), but as we know the forecast is not always right, we of course still took our chance in the northern lights hunt. We were hopeful as we saw that the clouds were breaking apart, but even through our cameras we could not spot any northern lights activity. We were giving it time, our passengers warming up in-between with hot chocolates at our cafeteria, but no lights were forming in the sky. Suddenly, a very faint green hue could be seen in the horizon. Unfortunately it faded away fast and we had to turn back. Chasing natural phenomena such as Aurora Borealis sometimes requires a lot of persistence and we hope to see our passengers trying again on another cruise with us thanks to the complimentary tickets that were given out to our passengers valid for the next two years.
