Chasing the Northern Lights under Arctic skies. Few natural wonders are as captivating — or as elusive — as the Northern Lights, their shimmering ribbons of colour dancing across the dark sky. In March, longer nights and often clearer skies create excellent conditions for aurora sightings, while lighter days leave ample time for unforgettable adventures ashore.
Cross the Arctic Circle and settle on deck, wrapped in a blanket with a hot chocolate in hand, before stepping ashore for thrilling experiences such as husky sledding across snow-dusted landscapes or tobogganing over crisp, white slopes. Ride Narvik’s cable car for sweeping fjord views, and watch reindeer moving gracefully through the snowy wilderness.
After dark, join Go Stargazing astronomers on deck for guided tours of the Arctic night sky, where constellations sparkle above the aurora’s ethereal glow, creating a truly magical celestial experience.
The map plots the course of this cruise. As you travel away from light pollution, a breathtaking canvas of stars unfolds above. The sky becomes a sanctuary of twinkling constellations, captivating stargazers with its celestial wonders. Guided by a Go Stargazing astronomer, you'll learn to navigate the skies and immerse yourself in their beauty.
