It must get a bit frustrating getting that 4am phone bridge phone call saying its your last chance to see the lights … or no refund.oldbluefox wrote: 19 Dec 2020, 12:01You are correct David.............david63 wrote: 19 Dec 2020, 11:12Don't Hurtigruten guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights and if not you some (all?) of your money back

I’m presuming between theses dates there must be a pretty good chance of seeing them… nevertheless quite reassuring for those who have booked.
Btw Foxy, I’m using Spel checher now.

They do, but it comes with conditions. They have to be seen from the bridge. Doesn't say how bright they have to be, how long or what the time of day or night. Might be 1 minute at 3am through the Third Officer's best binoculars!oldbluefox wrote: 19 Dec 2020, 12:01You are correct David.............david63 wrote: 19 Dec 2020, 11:12Don't Hurtigruten guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights and if not you some (all?) of your money back

But if it happens it must be amazing to see.

I know this will sound a bit farfetched but when I was a kid, I remember seeing what I believe were the Northern lights in my village which is situated just north of Stratford upon Avon….it was beautiful!!

Re: Brand new cruiser - Victoria advice
We did a similar Christmas Riverboat Cruise to JM, our cruise included the Bank Holidays but note that the market venues are frequently deconstructed on the 22nd. We therefore saw zilch in Cologne but some of the other places did remain open to accomodate our visit
Also did pre Christmas on Aurora and thought that Luneburg, Germany, was tops.

I had a look at the excursions on Hurtigruten. If you think P&O are expensive theirs were eye watering. It could turn out a very expensive cruise.
