Amazing experience to be in dark, on the boat, while it snows. Not that you except than you think of cruise, but it is really nice. Although we saw very small aurora, we still enjoyed it.

Tour guide was great, she constantly monitored the sky for the lights while the guest stayed warm inside. We were fortunate to have a chance to see them, even in harsh weather!

Family-Friendly and Comfortable Evening Cruise: Embark on a magical journey to the heart of the Arctic night sky aboard the veteran vessel MS Strønstad. Our Northern Lights cruise, running from October 17 to April 1, combines the search for the Aurora Borealis with a comfortable evening cruise on a classic ship, offering you a lifetime experience.
Key Highlights:
Guided Tour with Northern Lights Presentation: Before we set sail into the Arctic night, meet our experienced guide at the Full Steam Museum for a Northern Lights presentation in our multimedia room. The guide will also show you our sailing route on a map and review the KPI values for Northern Lights observations from the past 24 hours. Learn about the science, history, and cultural significance of this natural wonder while we keep our eyes on the sky in search of the Aurora Borealis. The guide will lead you to the ship that stays right outside the museum.
Family-Friendly Experience: Our cruise is designed to be family-friendly, with a shorter duration compared to competing products. This ensures that even our youngest travelers can enjoy and admire the Northern Lights in a comfortable and safe manner.

Visit the Captain in the Wheelhouse: Experience the excitement of visiting the bridge. This allows you and your family to have an interesting chat with the captain and gain insight into both modern and traditional navigation. Bridge visits are arranged upon request; contact our guide to schedule.
Additional Experience: To make your experience even more luxurious, you can book an hour in our jacuzzi or sauna during the cruise. These experiences include a towel and bathrobe, allowing you to relax in style while enjoying the Arctic landscape. This can be pre-booked or booked on board. Remember to bring swimwear. Space can only be guaranteed with advance booking.
