Cruise Overview

15-day Northern Lights expedition cruise from Dover to Norway

Enjoy an exciting expedition cruise from London (Tilbury) to explore the Norwegian coast under the Northern Lights. 

Experience five magical nights above the Arctic Circle, visiting beautiful coastal destinations including Tromsø, Lofoten and Narvik along the way. 

See nature up close by taking part in activities like dog sledding, hiking, kayaking and snowshoeing with our Expedition Team. 

Aurora adventures 

Between October and March is the best time to see the Northern Lights. Spending five nights above the Arctic Circle offers even better odds of seeing one of nature’s most dazzling phenomena. It’s also the perfect time to enjoy a host of winter activities against the backdrop of Norway’s breathtaking scenery.

You'll cruise along enchanting Norwegian fjords visiting charming towns and cities, exploring up close and in comfort aboard MS Maud. Discover Norway's coastal communities and local culture with our Expedition Team.
