Just make sure to read the Terms and conditions before you get too excited. The promise is only valid for 11 days Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen voyage - you’ll get a new 6 or 7-day voyage in an inside cabin (includes all meals) but no additional travel (flights). A new trip must be ordered within one month of returning from your original trip. Also it’s very unlikely at a 11 days voyage not to see the lights at all. “The ship determines whether a Northern Lights event has occurred, regardless of weather conditions and actual visibility” - and time of the night. The Havila and Hurtigruten ‘promises’ are very similar.

I have seen Northernn Lights at land tours in Iceland and Norway - but still most northern lights when sailing - if a cruise is 5 to 6 days north of Lofoten Islands/ Bodø. Many Cruise Lines has overnight stops in Alta - possible land excursions. I think a cruise is a good way to see Northern Lights - I’m planning a Hurtigruten voyage from Bodø to Kirkenes with some days pre/post cruise in Bodø and Kirkenes - have done this before - did still have the best sights when sailing.
