That is brave Gill. We'd love to see the Northern Lights and have looked at those cruises but worry that the NL are not guaranteed and it's a long cold and potentially choppy way to go if there's nothing there. I think we might do a shorter NL trip by air one year.

A mate of mine did the northern lights on C&M the year before last and although they were lucky enough to see them, he described the cruise as 'eventful' and a 'bit choppy'
I got his drift
Empty vessels .. and all that

Re: Cruising in 2018
After our Oceana cruise in February, when a window in the dining room cracked and subsequently shattered after a freak wave, I'm fully prepared for 'eventful'!
We've acknowledged that when we are at sea we won't be outside that much and will load our Kindles up accordingly.
But it's one of those things I've dreamed about, to see the Northern Lights, so we are hoping for the best. Also, hope we can do the dog sledding excursion
Also, my birthday falls during this cruise and we'll be in Tromso that day, which will be a bit different to my birthday in 2017, when we'll be in Fiji
