Northern Lights by Boat from Reykjavik

Northern Lights Hunt: The Arctic Rose Experience

Escape the city lights and take to the sea for a serene, high-probability Aurora hunt. Hunting the Northern Lights on the North Atlantic is a transformative experience—the silence of the ocean, the silhouette of snow-capped mountains, and the city lights of Reykjavík receding in the distance create the perfect stage for nature’s greatest show.

Why Choose the Arctic Rose?

The Arctic Rose is a sturdy, traditional vessel designed for stability and comfort in the North Atlantic. It provides the ideal platform for photographers and stargazers alike.

• Heated Indoor Cabin: Stay warm and cozy in our climate-controlled indoor saloon. It’s the perfect place to relax with a drink while our crew monitors the sky for activity.
• 360° Observation Decks: When the lights appear, step out onto our spacious decks for an unobstructed view of the Aurora dancing above the mountains.
• Boutique Onboard Bar: Enhance your evening with a selection of hot beverages, local beers, or spirits available for purchase at our onboard bar.
• Expert Commentary: Our guides are passionate about the science and folklore of the Aurora. They will help you understand the phenomenon and even assist with camera settings to ensure you capture the perfect shot.

“Watching the green ribbons of the Aurora reflect off the dark Atlantic waters is a perspective you simply can’t get from a bus. It’s quiet, it’s magical, and it’s authentically Icelandic.”
