EXPERIENCE FRILUFTSLIV IN WINTERTIME
Throughout your Northern Lights cruise, you will have a number of opportunities to immerse yourself in the Arctic way of life. Meet with an indigenous Sámi community in Tromsø and learn about their unique culture as you gather around a fire in a traditional Sámi tent known as a lavvu to hear stories of their age-old traditions and daily life as reindeer herders in the harsh Arctic climate, and enjoy a performance of joik, their beautiful and haunting form of folk music. There are also opportunities to experience an exhilarating dog sledding journey across snow-covered terrain or try snowshoeing across the Arctic countryside.

SEEK OUT THE ELUSIVE NORTHERN LIGHTS
Your cruise aboard Borealis has been planned to take you to Northern Norway at the ideal time for you to witness the elusive Northern Lights. An overnight stay in Tromsø, located above the Arctic Circle, offers a unique opportunity to witness nature's stunning light show, with ribbons of green, pink, and purple flickering across the sky, as local guides will be on hand to take you to areas of minimal light pollution for the very best chance of seeing them. The Vesterålen archipelago, located beneath the Aurora Oval, offers fantastic views of the Northern Lights illuminating the skies above it's capital, Sortland's 'Blue Town', bathing it in an ethereal light. Join us on the decks of Borealis for unspoiled views of the Aurora, with a warming cup of hot chocolate, as you turn your eyes to the skies above.

GO STARGAZING
Join us out on the decks of Borealis as we learn more about our universe with experts and astronomers from Go Stargazing, who will take you on laser-guided tours of the night sky, help you identify planets and tell you tales of maritime folklore, giving you a unique perspective of the skies around us. On this cruise there may be increased activity of the Sun, meaning a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights if the skies are clear. You will, however, witness impressive night-time views and hear incredible facts and figures from astronomical distances to the sizes of stars from our knowledgeable and friendly astronomers.
