More information

In winter, this already impressive area takes on an extra dimension - the Northern Lights, one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena on earth. Aurora Borealis, as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are also known, are truly unique and fascinating with their green, purple and blue colors. With the Antigua, we specifically look for places and harbors that are free of light pollution to give you the best possible view of the Northern Lights in their full splendor. During the voyage, you will discover the beauty of the untouched nature reserve in the Arctic Ocean. With a bit of luck, you may even spot a whale on this trip.

Unforgettable experience that you will remember forever!

Note: Wind and weather can significantly affect the trip. If necessary due to unforeseen circumstances, changes may be made to the route.

Luggage list

You should consider the "onion-skin principle". This means that you wear layers of clothing that you can put on or take off as required (We recommend woollen clothing.) On board and when going ashore, it is best to wear casual clothing. It is important to choose windproof and waterproof clothing to keep you dry and warm and to protect you from rain and splashing water in heavy seas. Weatherproof shoes are essential, and comfortable shoes with non-slip soles, such as trainers or all-terrain boots (hiking boots), are recommended for standing safely on deck and, if you wish, for finding your footing in the rigging. Waterproof boots are necessary to going ashore. Remember to bring several layers of clothing so that you can adapt to the changing weather. This includes a second set of rain or foul weather clothing. Don't forget to pack socks, warm underwear and sleeping clothes.

Tips

Good to know: We have two types of cabins on the Antigua: the standard cabins with bunk beds, shower and toilet and the spacious comfort cabins with separate single beds, shower and toilet. There are therefore two different cabin prices on the Antigua. Would you like to travel alone and not share a cabin? Then you can book a single supplement, which corresponds to the normal cruise price + 50%.

TIP: Try the stockfish, because in winter or spring, you can't miss one thing here in the north: the stockfish. It dries outdoors on the coast of northern Norway from February to May. On the Lofoten Islands, for example, one wooden rack follows the next and is used for this traditional fish production. Even the Vikings dried fish in this way.
