Reykjavík Northern Lights Cruise

Step aboard this 1.5–2.5 hour winter cruise for an unforgettable journey into the darkness of Faxaflói Bay, where the mesmerizing Northern Lights may appear in waves of color, movement, and brilliance across the Arctic sky. As you sail away from Reykjavík’s city lights, you'll find yourself in the ideal environment to witness nature's most elusive and awe-inspiring phenomenon. Settle into the comfort of our heated indoor saloon, grab a hot drink from the onboard café, or head to the 360° viewing deck for an unobstructed panoramic experience. Our friendly and knowledgeable aurora guides will share fascinating facts about the science and stories behind the auroras and will be available to answer your questions throughout the journey. Warm overalls are provided for extra comfort, but we recommend bringing a hat and gloves to stay cozy while outdoors.

While sightings of the Aurora Borealis are never guaranteed due to their natural unpredictability, our experienced crew continuously monitors solar activity and cloud cover to give you the best possible chance of seeing the lights. Weather in Iceland can change quickly, but we are committed to operating whenever conditions make it possible. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned aurora chaser, this cruise offers a peaceful and magical setting to embrace Iceland’s winter beauty. For those looking to expand the adventure, consider pairing this tour with a daytime whale watching excursion or explore additional experiences from our selection of unforgettable sea-based adventures.
