As I'm sure you know the Northern Lights for 2012 and 2013 are set to be at their best for decades and those that have been on a Northern Lights sailing this year have seen some spectacular sights.


This winter's cruise holidays all booked up really early and when we advertised a special Cruise.co.uk group for January this year we were inundated with enquiries.

Hurtigruten are the leaders in the Northern Lights sailings and they have announced that the January to March 2013 programme is going on sale on the 10th April. Whilst we don't know the full details as yet they will be offfering a choice of short 5 and 6 day trips or the full 12 day round trip. They are expecting the demand to be so high that they have significantly increased the number of flights that they are offering to the UK market.



It is best to book early for these as Hurtigruten have a fleet of ships which travel up and down the coast of Norway and some of the ships are newer than others. If you book when they go on sale you will get the better choice of ships available.

If you don't know much about Hurtigruten they are working ships that service the small towns and villages and also take tourists on board to see the amazing scenery of the Arctic Circle. As well as the Aurora Borealis that are free they offer a whole range of excursions from snowmobiling to husky rides to midnight choir concerts.


My parents did this trip earlier this year and would definitely recommend it.
