Northern Lights - If the weather is compliant go by boat. The Northern Lights were clearly visible.! Hooray! One of the most exciting parts of our trip.

No Lights but still a good trip - Very talented crew - kept us entertained while trying to locate the Northern Lights. Given the warning about rough seas, we did not experience any issues at all. The fact that we are able to try again due to the Northern Lights being a bust s a huge plus!

Overall, very good - We were all very excited to take the ship out into to the bay to see Northern Lights, unfortunately it was not our time. Although the company offered to continue taking us out until we seen them, the only night that was perfectly clear, they chose not to show themselves. For that and that reason only, we were all pretty disappointed. We did know there was always that chance and we chose to take it :-( Because we never did see them, we were told our tickets are valid for the rest of our lives when we return to Iceland again. Patrick, the narrator, did an absolutely phenomenal job. He not only explained what and where we should focus our sights but he also interacted with the guests. He seemed to be very knowledgable on the scientific portion of what creates the Northern Lights. Would definitely recommend with keeping in mind, there's always the possibility of them not appearing.

Northern lights - It's fine, but i do not go again. It's to many people ( no spaces sit down). Not many spaces to stand up. I understand we need information about safety. But i think it's too much. And sometimes i couldn't hear about what talking guide ( about trip, about safety, so was not clearly). We didn't been lucky to see much of Northern lights, what it's understandable

Terrible - Bad experience, they canceled the tour and didn't even warned. They put a notice on the office door that the cruise was canceled and there was no one to speak to and we weren't even notified.

Northern Lights Cancelation - The Northern Lights Cruise was canceled due to weather conditions thru no fault of their own. However I recommend that you don’t travel in Feb since it’s the coldest & darkest month in the year. We had 4 out of 7 excursions cancelled due to weather and thinking we had a better chance of catching the Northern Lights during that time, we were completely wrong.
