moeferg Posted August 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Has anyone been on this trip before? Any chance seeing the northern lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted August 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You're really going to have to clarify who provides the tour, in what location, and the timeframe you're considering... it's always possible to see an aurora as long as it's dark enough, but depending where you are the plausible viewing time could be six days, six weeks or six months of the year! In general anywhere you're cruising in New England/Eastern Canada won't have much chance of seeing an aurora on any given night in cruise season. If it's a priority for you, consider a short winter break to Iceland - very affordable packages offered on Icelandair out of several US airports, and every tour company there offers a 'keep coming back until you see one' guarantee.

ellieanne Posted August 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2015 A couple of my Canada/New England cruises have been during the period when it could be possible to see the Northern Lights in the area, but every time the weather conditions were against me. I think it would be great to see them, but I've had no luck on my cruises. If it's really important to you, I agree with the previous poster and suggest a land vacation in Iceland or Norway.

Nitemare Posted August 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Visible last night just outside of Reykjavik. But I'm not in Reykjavik. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliot4 Posted September 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Visible in Houghton Michigan on the 24th. This is a peninsula in Lake Superior the point being if it is clear and there is decent solar activity you should see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
