There is nothing more exciting than witnessing the Northern Lights shine bright across the Arctic sky. In the current solar maximum period of heightened solar activity, the auroras are projected to be brighter and more vibrant than they have been in years. Taking advantage of this discovery, Aurora Expeditions offers a collection of Arctic sailings designed to maximize guests’ chances of witnessing the display in some of the world’s most remote and stunning locations.

Arctic Golden Autumn & Northern Lights

Aug. 18–Sept. 3, travelers can join Aurora’s 17-day Arctic Golden Autumn & Northern Lights adventure from Reykjavik to Tromsø. The expedition centers around the spectacle of the Aurora Borealis in some of the most pristine polar skies. The journey then goes through Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard and Norway, which perfectly positions passengers to witness the natural phenomenon in its prime-viewing region. Each night offers travelers a rare glimpse at the Northern Lights surrounded by the Arctic wilderness and golden autumn light.

Northern Lights Explorer

The Northern Lights Explorer tour runs Sept. 2–19, and Aug. 25 to Sept. 9, 2027, taking travelers from Tromsø to Reykjavik. Passengers are immersed in the magic of the Aurora Borealis under dark Arctic skies; the itinerary also sails along the coasts of Norway, Iceland and Greenland.

Iceland & East Greenland – Under the Northern Lights

In 2027, from Sept. 8 to 18, guests are invited on an 11-day voyage for a rare chance to experience the Northern Lights in some of the most remote and untouched corners of the Arctic. In East Greenland’s vast fjord systems, the night sky comes alive with bright colors reflecting across the dark waters and drifting icebergs.
