Northern Lights Promise
Above the Arctic Circle in winter, the conditions are just right for the magical Northern Lights to appear. And if they don’t, we’ll give you a Future Cruise Credit.
Tick the Northern Lights off your bucket list
With a full seven days spent entirely above the Arctic Circle, and long winter nights with no light pollution, you’ll experience the perfect conditions to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights from the deck.
Our promise to you is that if there is no recorded sighting of the Northern Lights from the ship during your expedition cruise, we’ll give you a Future Cruise Credit worth up to $1,300 per person towards a new HX Hurtigruten Expeditions voyage.*

Why we can make this promise
Where we sail above the Arctic Circle is directly beneath the Auroral Zone, an area of consistently high Northern Lights activity. Our ship acts as a floating, mobile observatory, and moves between areas where there is a lot of cloud cover to places where there are clear skies and perfect conditions to see the aurora when it appears.
How we help you to see the aurora
All cabins and suites on our ships have a ‘Northern Lights alert’ whereby crew announce any sightings of the aurora, giving you the opportunity to look out of your window or head outside on deck to catch the phenomenon. These alerts could come at any time of the day or night, and you can switch the announcements on or off at will.
