Hurtigruten has prolonged its distinct Northern Lights Promise until September, allowing travelers a lengthier opportunity to witness one of nature's most remarkable phenomena.

Renowned for showcasing the splendors of Norway's natural landscape, Hurtigruten is dedicated to maximizing guests' chances of encountering the Aurora Borealis. The extension of the Northern Lights Promise from mid-September onwards underscores the company's commitment to ensuring travelers can experience this awe-inspiring spectacle.

This policy expansion aims to instill confidence among numerous guests seeking to cross witnessing the Northern Lights off their bucket lists, reaffirming Norway as the premier destination for this captivating natural display.

With over a century of navigation along Norway's coastline, Hurtigruten's expertise in showcasing Norway's wonders is unparalleled. The extension of its acclaimed Northern Lights Promise, the first of its kind in the cruise industry, underscores Hurtigruten's dedication to providing exceptional experiences. This policy guarantees guests a second opportunity to witness the Northern Lights if they are not visible during an 11-day voyage or longer.

Hedda Felin, CEO of Hurtigruten, emphasized the company's conviction that Norway offers the optimal setting for experiencing the Northern Lights, particularly through its coastal cruises. Felin expressed enthusiasm for extending the Northern Lights Promise sailing period, asserting Hurtigruten's commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences to its guests.

In addition to prolonging the sailing period, Hurtigruten will continue to offer select astronomer-hosted voyages during the upcoming seasons. Introduced last year with success, these Astronomy Voyages provide guests with exclusive opportunities to sail alongside renowned astronomers, attend lectures, and partake in Northern Lights viewings onboard, enhancing the voyage's allure and creating unforgettable memories.
