NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: This evening we had good luck on our side. As we went out, the cloud cover had some great gaps in it so we were able to see the stars. We could take some pictures of a faint green haze almost right from the beginning but little did we expect the Aurora to take off like it did later during the tour. First a bright green ribbon of northern lights across the sky, then out of a sudden, wonderful ribbons and dancing loops of purple and blue. The highlight was definitely a extending ring of bright purple and green that flashed across the sky right above us. A stunning and unforgettable evening out on the bay!
