NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00

Report fom Eldey: We went out under a thick cover of clouds heavy with snow. A beautiful sight of the lights of Reykjavik unfolded as the snow stopped and we got a gap of clear sky. While the full moon lit the clouds to our south we spotted the bright green glow of the Aurora behind the clouds. We hoped for the clouds to pass and a clear view on the Northern lights, but soon even thicker clouds covered the sky again. Even though it was a great night out at sea we offered complementary tickets to our guests to come on another tour with us to search for the Aurora.
