Hi everyone

Just booked this and the previous Canary Islands cruises..first time overseas since the pandemic squashed our cruises! Hope they go ahead.

Hello,

 

I was on Aurora in February a couple of years ago to see the Northern Lights.

 

Any questions please ask away - ditto Canaries unless you have been before. One piece of advice I would give to start with is NOT to book the ship's night-time excursion to picture the lights as it's a rip-off. I took much better pictures from my cabin's balcony with my camera on a tripod with two remote controls whilst I stayed in the warm, drink in hand. One recommendation - do the Husky sledding - it's a little dear but worth every penny.

 

I'll be on Aurora in October/November 2023 to the Caribbean.

 

Regards,

Thanks Cublet..not surprised as to your comments re ship's excursions..we try and do private tours if we can and have also heard before that often you can see the lights easily from the ship.
