We have northern lights!! Despite the cloudy weather, this tour turned out to be an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Holly, was not only sweet but also very informative. The captain also did an amazing job of chasing the Aurora, using an app to try to find gaps in the sky, and we sailed for miles to try and catch glimpses of it. I believe those who give bad reviews were not lucky and missed the northern lights; however, before we boarded, the guides were honest about our chances of seeing the lights, giving us a 50% estimate and offering a full refund if we chose to get off the boat. We decided to take the risk, and we were so glad we did! While the boat was a bit old, that added to the charm of the adventure, and the close quarters allowed for great conversations with fellow travelers. The coffee, hot cocoa, and cookies were also perfect for keeping warm on that chilly night. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to chase the northern lights!

Comfortable boat and entertaining crew. we went out on a night-time fjord cruise, with complementary hot drinks and cookies on board. We were shown how to rod fish, and I caught my first ever fish- an Atlantic cod! The chef on board even prepared it for us and some of the other guests to have a taste. Unfortunately the 'green lady' did not smile on us, as it was quite a cloudy night, but this was well worth going on anyway. 5*
