What to expect

Join this ~2 hour evening Northern Lights & City Cruise in search of the enchanting Aurora Borealis as they dance across the night sky in a stunning display of colour and movement. As we sail into Faxaflói bay, enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s illuminated skyline and landmarks such as Harpa Concert Hall and Hallgrímskirkja church. When the Imagine Peace Tower is lit (October-December), we sail by to admire its radiant beam before turning our gaze to the northern skies.

Enjoy the scenery from one of the outdoor platforms or relax inside our heated indoor saloon, where you have access to free Wi-Fi, toilet facilities, and an onboard café serving hot drinks and snacks.

Our knowledgeable crew provide fascinating insights into our surroundings as well as this natural phenomenon throughout the tour.
