Yes, you can witness the Northern Lights from a cruise, and one of the most renowned options is Hurtigruten.
Hurtigruten offers voyages along the stunning Norwegian coast, including the Lofoten region, providing a unique opportunity to catch glimpses of the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis while cruising on the Arctic waters. The dark, remote locations along the route, away from city lights, enhance the chances of experiencing this natural phenomenon in full splendor.
Lofoten in winter might not be the most suitable destination for families with children. From our perspective, there are limited activities explicitly catered to young ones during this season.The extended northern lights chases can be chilly and potentially uninteresting for small kids.
If you’re traveling with your family, we suggest considering Tromsø as an alternative. There, you’ll find a wider array of family-friendly activities, such as reindeer sledding, dog sledding, the opportunity to explore ice domes, and access to amenities like swimming pools and interactive museums, providing a more engaging experience for children.
