NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: We sailed out with a good forecast, but unfortunately the only thing we saw was the beautiful skyline of Reykjavik. We tried to sail into the small gaps, that the clouds were giving us, but we could only spot one small little spot of green, only visible with the camera for a short time. After wishing one of our dear guests a happy birthday, we sailed back to the harbor and gave out complimentary tickets.

Few natural phenomena are as mesmerising as the aurora borealis. These shifting curtains of colour sweep across the polar skies, painting them in hues of green, pink, and violet. While their appearance may seem unpredictable, scientists have developed ways to understand when and where they might occur and by studying the activity levels, we can estimate the likelihood of seeing them.
