whehn Posted March 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Looking for an Alaska small ship cruise itinerary for Northern Lights viewing. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Unless you are on the Alaska Marine Highway ferries I doubt any small ship will be sailing late enough in the season to see them. Best ask on the Alaska board under ports of call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 6, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It is pretty rare to see Northern Lights on Alaaka cruises, no matter the size of the ship. You would likely to need to sail late is September, and as far north as possible. Otherwise it's too light most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEtue Posted March 6, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I guess I have been very fortunate then to see them between Sitka and Icy Strait when sailing the last few days of August into the first week in September. Early August trips yielded no sightings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted March 7, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2021 You can find cruises to Norway during Octoberish. Probably better chance there. A friend did see some faint Northern Lights in September one night. Very lucky and rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
