Norway : Northern Lights Cruises - Voyage North
A Northern Lights Cruise through Norway’s Arctic North
Pass through the Viking heartland and cross North Cape on a journey into the Arctic Circle. On the way your ship calls at 34 ports to see sights that include the distinct architecture of Ålesund, the Saltstraumen whirlpool at Bodø and the Seven Sisters mountain range on Alsten. The advantage of taking a Northern Lights cruise along Norway’s Arctic coast is that the extremely low levels of light pollution make for spectacular sightings of the Aurora.
