Prime Viewing Location: Hurtigruten ships travel along Norway’s northern coastline, within the Arctic Circle, where aurora activity is most frequent and intense. This region offers some of the best chances to see the lights.
Away from City Lights: The open sea provides the perfect dark backdrop for the northern lights, free from city light pollution, which enhances aurora visibility and makes the colors appear more vibrant.
Aurora Alerts: Hurtigruten staff are attentive to aurora activity and will announce sightings on the ship, so passengers don’t miss a moment—even if they’re indoors or asleep.
Seasonal Northern Lights Cruises: Hurtigruten offers dedicated Northern Lights voyages from October to March, maximizing chances of viewing the auroras during peak season.
Comfortable Viewing: Unlike stationary viewing spots, the ship allows passengers to experience the northern lights from the comfort of an outdoor deck or a heated lounge with panoramic windows, making the experience both cozy and spectacular.
Aurora Borealis Promise: Hurtigruten guarantees aurora sightings on certain cruises during the winter months. If the lights don’t appear, eligible guests are offered a free future voyage to try again.
Cultural and Scenic Experiences: Alongside the northern lights, Hurtigruten cruises offer stops in charming Norwegian towns, fjord cruises, and cultural experiences, allowing passengers to enjoy the rich natural beauty and heritage of Norway.
