Hadn’t even stopped and could see them with the naked eye! Absolutely amazing experience, very cold going out and back in, but the suits provided are so worth it and keep you as warm as possible! All people on board were amazing the tour guide Lukas was extremely kind and helpful, taught you anything you needed to know, helped with camera settings and also took photos for you so you could watch it in the moment! No complaints what so ever!

We barely saw the lights (at the end) but it was worth it and they gave us an extra 40 mins to stay in and watch what we could of them. Host/ crew was friendly and professional. I would just say: wrap up warm, and then some. And it would have been good if they could wipe down the seats which were wet (and therefore colder). I would also pay a bit more for a bar service to come to you rather than navigating downstairs in the difficult to maneuver outfit. Also- pee first! It’s hard to get out of the warm suit in the little Loos. But a really good night and would strongly recommend it!
