tartangal Posted February 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2005 We are on the May 21 to June 4 Constellation Baltic cruise with stops in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Latvia, Lithuania, and Germany. Has anyone experienced the aurora borealis or seen puffins on a similar itinerary at that time of year? I know that the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights is in Autumn or Winter but it's one of my dreams (the other is to see puffins) and I'm hoping to hear there is a chance.

tartangal Posted February 11, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I'm envious. I know that's the best time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted February 12, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2005 May 21 to June 4Not much chance of the aurora, I don't think, unless you're a real night owl and you're lucky. This is mainly because it just isn't going to be dark for very much of the time. For example, in St Petersburg on 1 June, sunset is at 11:06 pm, and sunrise the next morning is at 4:48 am.
