A good season for the northern lights is approaching, these colorful lights that touch the Earth and are extremely difficult to see. The so-called “northern lights” are a unique spectacle due to the magic they convey and the legends that surround them.
While it is true that they can only be seen by traveling to northern countries such as Canada, Alaska, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, and Finnish Lapland. But this experience can be even better aboard the cruises organized by Hurtigruten along the Norwegian coast.
According to experts, the peak of the northern lights is underway. The 2024-2025 solar maximum will reach an unprecedented frequency and intensity, not recorded in the last ten years, and it will repeat again in 11 years.

Why are the northern lights better seen from a cruise?
A cruise journey is one of the most popular ways to see the northern lights, as by venturing into the waters of Norway, you move away from light pollution, providing a better view. One of the best cruises to embark on is the Coastal Express, which connects the coasts from Bergen to Kirkenes, heading south and round trip from Bergen.
Another option is the North Cape Express, which goes from Oslo to Honningsvag, ending the return journey in Bergen, or vice versa. On this trip, you can not only enjoy the northern lights but also the comforts offered by the ship.
Moreover, cruise passengers can take advantage of various excursions tailored to each visitor’s preferences, such as the night safari on snowmobiles, sleigh rides pulled by dogs through lakes, hills, and the dark sky, or workshops for photographing and recording this light show.
