Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Northern Lights

A couple of years ago we went on the Hurtigruten (Norwegian mailboat with passengers) in March. We saw the Northern lights on three nights whilst on the 12 day journey. Up until 10pm they broadcast sightings on the ship then after that you can patch the bridge through to your cabin where they will alert if they appear. During the show they use mainly running lights so being out at sea the skies are dark and perfect for watching. From Oct-March they guarantee a sighting & if not will pay for a trip one way the following year.
I can recommend - my idea of hell would be a "cruise" with 5,000 people with whom I have nothing in common. Hurtigruten ships are working ships taking a couple of hundred passengers some of whom are locals using it as a ferry. Food is great, cabins functional and clean and there are trips/excursions offered at various points. Also great value. I am not on commission!
