No Aurora Borealis...
Although there was a great expectation of seeing the Northern Lights on this trip......after all.....
"Hunting the Light" is their catch phrase at this time of the year on the Hurtigruten Ships. When you go to sleep at night, you can set your telephone to intercom - if the Aurora appears at night - they announce it and you can get up and see it. Every night I had the intercom button on, the volume turned up, and went to sleep in hopes that the Aurora would appear.
It wasn't to be unfortunately.......it was early in "the season" and the weather was uncommonly mild for this time of year......
So while we didn't see the Northern Lights, we did see some spectacular sights...
While I totally understand that this trip wouldn't be for everyone....
WE LOVED IT! It was just our cup of tea and we're glad we went, even though we didn't see the Northern Lights.....maybe next time!
