The Hurtigruten Experience

Discover Your Perfect Hurtigruten Trip
Northern Lights
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Seeing the Northern Lights dance across the Arctic sky is an unforgettable experience, and a Hurtigruten cruise offers a fantastic opportunity to witness this natural phenomenon. Sailing along Norway's coastline, often above the Arctic Circle, puts you in prime viewing territory. The ship's crew keeps a watchful eye on the skies, providing announcements when the aurora appears, so you don't miss a moment. With minimal light pollution from being at sea, the vibrant colors of the Northern Lights – from greens and purples to reds and pinks – are often even more spectacular. Hurtigruten even offers a "Northern Lights Promise" on select voyages, giving you a free cruise if you don't see the aurora.
