On Wednesday night (6 November), the Northbound voyage saw the best display of the Northern Lights yet. Just goes to show that patience always pays off! After five nights of a very slow start and lots of cloud cover, it looks like things are finally looking up!
On Wednesday, after leaving Kjøllefjord, peeking through the clouds, it appeared. Whilst the colours are hard to spot with the naked eye sometimes, the colours on the camera showed up brightly – green and purple streaking through the sky.

Then, on Thursday night, things got even better as the Aurora covered almost the entire sky. Another successful winter voyage! Let’s hope the sky continues to give all the ships such beautiful displays.
