Northern Lights Cruises
Northern Lights
Head out directly on a Northern Lights cruise from Cork or take a fly cruise from Dublin and discover this incredible natural wonder. The other-worldly green lights of the Aurora Borealis is a bucket-list destination for many travellers and what better way to see them than by taking a cruise to the Arctic, Antarctica or Northern Norway. If you want to be truly blown away by this astonishing sight, the best time to go is between the months of September and April when the days are the longest. In addition, far away from the light pollution of towns and cities, there's no viewing platform more ideal than your cruise ship deck.
With Northern Lights cruises being so popular, it's recommended that you book in advance to avoid any disappointment. However with so many cruise lines offering this breathtaking voyage, the perfect ship is ready and waiting. Whether you choose P&O Cruises, Fred.Olsen, Cruise and Maritime Voyages or Hurtigruten, you're guaranteed a truly unique and memorable experience. What's more, a cruise to see the Northern Lights is more than just seeing the Aurora Borealis. Along the way you'll be treated to ports of call in stunning destinations including quaint fishing towns, the Norwegian Fjords and bigger cities, all of which will give you an insight into life in these more remote parts of the world.
In addition, for those looking for something a little more educational, cruises with a theme, such as 'In search of the Northern Lights', will provide you with the opportunity to learn about astronomy and the history of the area as well as lectures about the Northern Lights themselves. With an experienced and knowledgeable crew onboard every ship, a Northern Lights cruise is truly a holiday to remember.
