Northern Lights notification

[MacCruising2018]

 

Bit of an odd question, but important for us. We've booked the Euribia for a Scandinavian/fjords cruise this fall and really hoping to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Is there a way to get notified that they are active?  Don't want to sleep through them nor do I want to stay awake every night trying to see them.  Thanks.

Here's a great app for aurora forecasts

Also, on some ships they will notify passengers if/when the northern lights appear.  Sometimes you have to ask at customer service to have them call your cabin phone.  They are hesitant to make a ship wide announcement to all cabins since the lights often appear in the wee hours of the morning. I should add that I don't know if MSC does this.
