One of the best ways of experiencing the Northern Lights is on a Hurtigruten voyage during the winter season.
For 130 years, Hurtigruten has navigated Norway’s coast and witnessed every imaginable display of the aurora. Envision vibrant ribbons of pink and red weaving across the Arctic sky, rare coronas shimmering above fjords adorned with frozen waterfalls, and even an aurora shaped like a dragon.
For this unparalleled experience, Hurtigruten knows the best locations in Norway and Scandinavia to view the Northern Lights. The coastal cruise company is so confident in their ability to deliver this magical spectacle that they offer a remarkable guarantee: if your guests don’t see the Northern Lights during their voyage, Hurtigruten will give them another trip – on them, for free!
