NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: This evening we had a gorgeous big low moon as we sailed out along with clear skies. The stars were bright and with hot chocolates in hand we just needed to wait to see what the sky would do. We sailed out past the islands and waited patiently. With no clouds in sight, we could see all the stars above us. A beautiful evening to spend at sea! Unfortunately though, the northern lights never showed up for us today so we offered everyone onboard complimentary tickets to come again for free to try again.

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.
