We saw the northern lights twice on our 12 night cruise to Canadian arctic and Greenland; once on August 26th and then again on our last night September 7th. Both times it was about 10:45 PM and somebody made an announcement ship wide. They turned off the high spotlight from the bow and some of the stern and running lights. They were like green fire at first low in the sky and then streaking brightly directly overhead. if you google Northern lights, Canada forecast there is a website the shows the northern light' doughnut shape over and around the Arctic circle. You can spot your location and see if the "ring"will be overhead that evening. It rates the probability and intensity of the lights over the coming couple of days. While it is accurate, if cloud cover moves in, you won't see the lights through the clouds. while in Aptock, I asked a teenage girl if people get excited when the display is extreme and she said it happens so frequently that it's hardly noticed.
