    Did the cruise with my wife. Boat was clean, staff was super friendly. Got a bit seasick (take those pills if ur not used to boats!). We did see some faint green light, not the full-on show I hoped for, but the staff explained why. Still worth it for the stars and the vibe.

    Went with my uni friends and we had a BLAST. Layers and more layers are key. Crew gave us blankets and told us folklore while we waited. Northern lights totally delivered, and I got like a million blurry phone pics. Don’t expect professional shots unless ur a pro, lol.

    Saw the lights!!! I’ve wanted to see auroras since I was a kid. Was FREEZING on deck but I didn’t care. Staff gave out these massive overalls that made me look like a snowman, but I was warm. 10/10.

    No lights, just clouds. Boat was warm inside but too crowded. Crew tried their best.
