The most valuable experience, the Northern Lights
The real reason you decide to be on the cruise is the Northern Lights. As you already know, it takes a lot of time and patience to see aurora. Mostly you should spend three nights in the high north with very little to show for it. However, if you just stay with patience, you can see the evening’s show. This overwhelming natural phenomenon will give you unforgettable memories ever !
January is the great opportunity to see the northern lights in northern Norway. No one knows when the aurora might be shown, and how long it might last, but just go and experience this overwhelming and stunning Northern lights.
