Reykjavik: Northern Lights Cruise

Step aboard for a 1.5–2.5 hour evening cruise where nature and the city create a breathtaking light show. As we sail into Faxaflói Bay, enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s illuminated shoreline, including Harpa Concert Hall, Hallgrímskirkja, and the city’s sparkling skyline reflected in the water. Then, turn your gaze to the northern skies in search of the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis.

When the Imagine Peace Tower is lit, we sail by to admire its powerful beam—a moment especially enjoyed by our guests. Leaving the city behind, we focus on the northern skies and the auroras dancing above the horizon. Each evening promises a unique experience as nature and city lights combine in a magical display.

Relax in our heated indoor saloon or step onto the open 360° viewing platform for uninterrupted views. Warm overalls are available to borrow, and the onboard café serves hot drinks and snacks to keep you cozy throughout the journey. Our experienced crew monitors weather and solar activity to maximize your chances of seeing the lights.

Whether it’s the natural wonder of the auroras, the glowing Imagine Peace Tower, or Reykjavík’s shimmering city lights, every evening offers its own kind of magic. Join us for an enchanting blend of nature and city nightscapes, where Reykjavík’s charm meets the northern lights at sea.
