We headed out to sea on our final northern lights cruise of the year, full of hope for the night ahead! We were excited to witness a proposal onboard soon into the tour, many congratulations to the happy couple! It was a lovely calm evening at sea, and we started to see some stars, but unfortunately we had no aurora borealis this time, so we gave our guests complimentary tickets to try another time.

Tonight we had partially cloudy skies, with fantastic ocean conditions, and we headed out to sea. More and more gaps in the clouds started to appear, and stars shone through them. We waited patiently, warming up with some hot chocolate, but unfortunately we were not lucky this time and gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again another evening.

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.
In Iceland, the Northern Lights are most commonly visible from September to mid-April, painting the night sky with dynamic shapes and vibrant colours under dark, cloudless nights. Explore this FAQ list to uncover everything you need to know about this breathtaking natural phenomenon!
