Why take this tour?

The Aurora Borealis is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles—a must-see phenomenon that belongs on every traveler’s bucket list. With Sea Trips Reykjavík, you have the chance to witness this celestial wonder from the open sea, away from the city lights, for an unforgettable Northern Lights cruise experience.

 As solar flares interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, they create a dazzling display of green, white, violet, and red hues dancing across the Arctic sky. From the deck of our comfortable yacht, you’ll have unobstructed panoramic views of this mesmerizing natural light show.

 For the best chance of seeing the aurora, we sail away from Reykjavík’s artificial lights, seeking the darkest, clearest skies. However, as the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, they don’t appear every night—so patience and a touch of luck are key!

 Join us for an enchanting evening at sea and chase the Northern Lights in style!
