Reykjavík Northern Lights Cruise without pickup

Search for Aurora Borealis away from the city lights on this thrilling winter cruise, where dark, clear skies create the perfect backdrop for witnessing the magical northern lights from September through April. As the lights shift in intensity, colour, and movement across the vast starry sky, the experience becomes truly unforgettable. The cruise lasts 1.5 to 2.5 hours and offers maximum comfort with heated indoor areas, an onboard café, and 360° viewing platforms. Our expert aurora guides provide fascinating insights and help with photography, even capturing images you can request later. Warm overalls are available to borrow—just remember to bring a hat and gloves. Begin at our ticket office by Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and visit our unique Visitor Centre housed in a converted fishing vessel, before setting sail into Faxaflói Bay, far from city lights. While sightings can't be guaranteed, our experienced team is committed to giving every tour a real shot, even in uncertain forecasts, as conditions can shift rapidly. Unlike many operators, we don't cancel unless absolutely necessary, maximising your chances. If you don’t see the lights, we’ll offer you unlimited retries within two years at no extra cost. This tour can also be combined with whale watching or other adventures. Please note that all sailings are weather-dependent and may be cancelled at short notice for safety.
