Reykjavík Northern Lights Cruise without pickup

Experience the magic of the Northern Lights and the glittering cityscape of Reykjavík from the sea - a unique winter adventure that sails whenever conditions allow.
Full description

Step aboard for a 1,5-2,5 hour evening cruise where nature and the city meet in a breathtaking light show. As we sail into Faxaflói bay, enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s illuminated shoreline, including Harpa Concert Hall, Hallgrímskirkja, and the city’s sparkling skyline reflected in the water, before turning our gaze to the northern skies in search of the mesmerising Aurora Borealis.

When the Imagine Peace Tower is lit, we sail by to admire its powerful beam - a moment our guests especially enjoy. Then, as we leave the city behind, our attention turns to the northern skies in search of the mesmerising auroras dancing above the horizon.

Relax in our heated indoor saloon or step onto the open 360° viewing platform for uninterrupted views. Warm overalls are available to borrow, and our onboard café serves hot drinks and snacks to keep you cosy throughout the journey.

Our experienced crew continuously monitor the weather and solar activity to maximise your chances of witnessing the lights, and we sail as long as conditions at sea are favourable. Whether it’s the natural wonder of the auroras, the glowing Imagine Peace Tower, or Reykjavík’s shimmering city lights, every evening offers its own kind of magic.

Join us for an enchanting blend of nature and city nightscapes, where Reykjavík’s charm meets the northern lights at sea.
