    • NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

    The sky was mostly clear as we headed out, first for a nice cruise around the islands to see if we can spot any aurora. The stars were shining, and with our cameras, we could spot a faint glow, but nothing with the naked eye. So we offered complimentary tickets to our guests for the chance to try again.

    We left the harbour with some wintry showers, but gaps started to appear in the clouds. After some time, a faint green haze was detected with our cameras, but difficult to see with the naked eye. We also spotted a humpback whale with the light of the full moon - a nice surprise! Since we didn't get a good show of the northern lights, we gave our passengers complimentary tickets for the chance to try again.

    Another calm and clear night, with a kp index forecast of 3/9. We headed out towards Esja, to find some shelter from the wind, and warmed up with hot chocolate as we waited for the northern lights. We had a very brief glimpse of them before they stopped again, and we decided to give our passengers complimentary tickets to try again for a better showing!

Unfortunately, they decided not to appear tonight, and we gave our passengers complimentary tickets so everyone can try their luck again.

    Today we went out expecting some gaps in the sky, and a Kp Index of 3/9. The tour started off with more cloud than expected, and some snow, then the clouds started to clear! We had the northern lights! It started with a big arc in the sky, and shortly after, a second arc followed. A beautiful evening at sea.

    As soon as we left the harbour, we could already see an arch across the sky. Sure enough, the northern lights were dancing above us, and "exploded" at one point, visible across the whole sky. A fantastic evening at sea!

    We sailed into the bay under a dark sky with the stars shining through the clouds. The northern lights appeared after a short while - at first a streak in the sky, before transforming into beautiful arches and curtains. A beautiful evening at sea!
