The Aurora Borealis is one of the most spectacular sights to be seen in nature. A Northern Lights cruise with Sea Trips Reykjavík offers an excellent opportunity to witness this unique celestial phenomenon in person – a real bucket-list experience.
Enjoy the eerie glow of this night-time kaleidoscope as solar flares are drawn to the Earth’s atmosphere by the magnetic fields of the Arctic, painting mesmerising displays of green, white, violet and red across the sky.
Aboard the vessel you will experience the hush and drama of night at sea: the dark horizon, crisp air and the slow rhythm of the waves heighten the impact of any sky displays. The trip is designed for people who want to savour the natural spectacle rather than rush through it, with ample opportunities to stand on deck, photograph the sky and share the moment with companions. The crew are experienced in night-time sailing and attentive to passenger comfort and safety, helping guests make the most of each outing. Whether you are a keen photographer, a nature lover or a first-time aurora chaser, the cruise provides a memorable way to connect with this extraordinary natural phenomenon. Read more
