As part of our Northern Lights cruises, our new programme of on board activities allows guests to discover real in-sights about the culture and nature of the places we are visiting, so you can arrive in each destination fully prepared to get the most out of of your visit.
Take a look at the below for a taste of the wonderful activities which may be available on each of our Northern Lights cruises:
Itinerary Insights
Our Journey Planners have carefully curated a programme of events throughout your cruise, with special guest speakers selected for their expertise and knowledge about local wildlife, culture and traditions, to give you a deeper understanding of each of the destinations we will be visiting. On all our Northern Lights cruises we will of course go in search of the elusive Aurora Borealis, and there will be plenty of opportunities to wrap up warm and join our team out on deck to hopefully catch a glimpse of Mother Nature's most imitable light show!
Scenic Discoveries
Our Scenic Discoveries are designed to allow you to enjoy seeing the world from a unique perspective of our ship. On your cruise, soak up the scenic sights on offer on your unique itinerary - this could be the majestic peaks of the Seven Sisters Mountains, the astonishing natural wonder of Torghatten Mountain, or joining in the fun and festivities of a traditional ceremony out on deck as we cross into the Arctic Circle.
Treats of the Region
As we explore your cruise itinerary together, you'll be able to sample various treats of the region in our on board restaurants - trying out local delicacies, with options for both lunch and dinner. Our talented Chefs and their teams will also provide cookery demonstrations throughout your cruise, where you will learn to recreate traditional dishes such as Lapskaus; a winter warming beef and vegetable stew, Kjøttkaker; famous Norwegian meatballs or even Serinakaker; a delicious butter cookie which is a staple in Norway at Christmas time.
The Sky at Sea
There's very little in the natural world more beautiful than a clear night sky, sunrise or sunset seen from sea. Take the opportunity to join our fitness team for a relaxing sunrise Yoga or Pilates class, or wrap up warm with a hot chocolate in hand and head out on deck for a chance to catch a glimpse of the famously elusive Northern Lights!
The Ship and Sea
We know a lot of our guests are curious about what it takes to operate a cruise, or find out what it's like to call our cruise ships 'Home', so join us for our Audience with... sessions and learn all about what life is like as a member of our Show Company team, or maybe a live Q&A session with the Captain himself!
