NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: Tonight we were expecting a Kp index of 2, which is already more than enough to see it in Iceland! Now, we just needed to wait for the clouds to move away so we could see some stars. Indeed, it started very cloudy, but as we drank our hot drinks and waited, we started seeing a few stars in the sky. Unfortunately, it did not get any better than that and so we handed out complimentary tickets to all our passengers to offer them another chance at an incredible northern lights experience
