The two-part Christmas special on Channel 5 takes Susan on an exciting adventure onboard MS Maud as she goes in search of the magical Northern Lights. Sailing from Dover up into the Arctic circle, she experiences a truly Norwegian winter, from the snowcapped mountains and dog sledding to breaking ice in the heart of a frozen fjord topped and of course plenty of laughter as she explores this real-life winter wonderland.

Discover life onboard MS Maud

A name and ship steep in history, heritage and charm. MS Maud, previously MS Midnatsol, is named after one of the most famous polar vessels of all time, Roald Amundsen's 'Maud' from 1917. Today's MS Maud is equipped with advanced technology that makes her exceptionally well-suited for expedition cruising. Her bright interiors are appointed in a classic Art Deco style. Like all Hurtigruten Expeditions ships, MS Maud is an environmentally progressive vessel, with further plans to continue making improvements in an effort to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. Whether your ready to say hello to your inner scientist in our advanced Science Center, or indulge your inner foodie in one of three restaurants onboard. This floating basecamp will be your home away from home as you explore the world around you.
