There is no better way to experience the magical Northern Lights than by sailing through the sheltered coastal waters of Arctic Norway on an award-winning Hurtigruten Northern Lights Cruise. Relax on board, with the chance to see the magical Northern Lights set against a dark sky, free from artificial light. As you glide through the Arctic twilight, you become one with the peaceful atmosphere that descends around you. Clusters of houses glow like embers along the coast, small towns become welcoming refuges as you pull into harbour, and snow-clad mountains reflect the polar light to bathe you in eerie shades.

Nature offers some of the greatest opportunities to see wildlife along the Norwegian shores and there is an exciting selection of activities available, both on land and on board Hurtigruten ships. These include an exhilarating Husky Dog sledging adventure across the open plains, a unique King Crab safari, snowmobiling across the frozen lands and a visit to the Russian border.

Choose from a selection of Northern Lights Cruises on small ships which hug the spectacular coastline, taking you closer to the heart of Norwegian Arctic life providing unforgettable encounters with history and culture.
