Description

Search for the northern lights from the sea on this yacht cruise from Reykjavik's Old Harbor, with three outdoor decks and a heated indoor lounge.

You check in at the Old Harbour House restaurant in Reykjavik's Old Harbor and board the yacht Amelia Rose. Its heavy hull is built for stability, though conditions at sea still affect the ride. Seasickness tablets are available on board for free.

The crew follows solar activity and weather forecasts to choose the best areas of Faxafloi Bay, away from the brightest city lights.

You can move between three outdoor observation decks to watch the sky, or warm up in the indoor lounge, with large windows and seating. Warm blankets are provided.

Clear skies and northern lights can't be guaranteed. If the cruise goes ahead but no aurora is seen, you get a free return ticket valid for three years.

Check availability by choosing a date.
