Things To Do On Northern Lights Cruises

A luxurious excursion on any Northern Lights cruise, a visit to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland is one of our top recommendations. This geothermal spa situated in a lava field in southern Iceland is a beautiful natural phenomenon famous for its mineral-rich water and soft mud, both of which have proven healing effects on the skin. It’s impossible to come away from this experience without feeling more relaxed and recharged, ready to resume the excitement of your Northern Lights Expedition.

Gullfoss, which translates to ‘Golden Falls’, is one of Iceland’s (and Northern Europe’s as a whole) most iconic waterfall systems, located in the Hvita canyon in southwest Iceland. The entire gorge is around 2km long and the waters create an amazing natural spectacle; hiking around this area will delight nature lovers and wildlife spotters. Visit in summer for lush green landscapes and rainbows created by the rushing waters, or check it out in winter to see it frozen and sparkling white.

Why not extend your Expedition Cruise with a romantic pre- or post-cruise stay in a glass dome under the stars? You’ll find these awesome ‘glamping’ experiences in various locations, from the rugged landscapes of Iceland to the fjords of northern Norway or the forested regions of Finland. Snuggle up under thick blankets as you’re surrounded by snow, ice, and the Milky Way above. This is yet another opportunity to catch sight of the incredible aurora borealis in all her glory.
