Northern Lights Astronomy Voyage 2012

Join this popular voyage to learn more about the Arctic night sky as well as the greatest lightshow on Earth, the Aurora Borealis.

Itinerary

We are delighted to offer one more date for our Astronomy Voyage in 2012 accompanied by Ian Ridpath of the Royal Astronomical Society and hopefully the Northern Lights.

Through a series of lectures and a guided tour of the night sky from the deck of the ship, your lecturer will bring the world of stars, planets and meteors closer whilst also exploring the numerous myths and legends linked to the constellations in our skies.

Your voyage will follow the path of Hurtigruten’s 12-day Classic Round Voyage allowing you to enjoy charming towns and breath-taking scenery by day, before watching the incredible colours of dusk on the coast and settling down for the excitement that Norway’s night skies can bring.
