🌌 Deal 3 of the northern lights series 🌌

Cruising will give you the best chance to see the northern lights for a couple of reasons:

1- your trip tends to be longer, in this case a 12 night cruise around Norway 🇳🇴 therefore, more nights to potentially see the lights compared to a weekend city break for example.

2- while you are cruising through the night, you are out at sea, where the light pollution is either zero or very low. This will give the optimum conditions for viewing the aurora.

3- if you have an ocean view stateroom or balcony stateroom you will be able to view the aurora from the comfort of your room or balcony.

4- you wake up somewhere new most days & visit new towns and cities. You can get up to plenty of excursions on port days, relax on the ship on days at sea. And have the added bonus of having the optimum conditions (other than unpredictable weather) for seeing the aurora.

There are multiple cruise lines which offer northern lights cruises. This means there is a cruise holiday to suit all groups of travellers whether that is solo, couple, family, friends or anything in between.

Please get in touch and I can help find a cruise that suits your needs the best.

🌃 Deal 1 in the Northern lights series is CITY BREAK **🌃

There is good reason many people have Reykjavik on their travel list. With breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls & beaches there is plenty of nature to explore 🌋

Or take a night trip to see the northern lights*, spend a day touring the golden circle or relax in the lagoons.

Reykjavik is a great hub to explore so many different parts of Iceland. And while you’re there, you get to explore what the capital has to offer too.

Get in touch and I can create a full itinerary bespoke to your liking. All you’ll have to do is get packing 🧳

* Remember seeing the northern lights is never a guarantee. Allow me to help you include other amazing outings so the aurora isn’t the sole focus of the trip

** price is correct at the time of posting, is subject to availability and change
