Alta, Norway � known as the City of Northern Lights
The Northern Lights Experience
Arctic Nights. Open Skies. More Time to Look Up.
These voyages are designed to take you deep into northern Norway during the long Arctic nights. From an overnight stay in Alta to days spent above the Arctic Circle and hours at sea beneath wide-open skies, the journey gives you repeated opportunities to watch for one of nature's most unforgettable displays.

Keep Watching Even at Sea
Dark nights and open horizons mean the search does not end when the ship leaves port. Guests can even request a wake-up call if the Aurora Borealis is spotted during the night.
A little Northern Lights reality: The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon, so sightings can never be guaranteed. Weather, cloud cover and solar activity all play a role � which is why having multiple nights and locations to watch the sky is so valuable.
