Unbelievable sky show - First and foremost, the northern lights show. The guide kept everyone informed about what was taking place and where to look for the light show. As we were about to head in, the light show started and yacht was stopped so we could enjoy the show. What a spectacular site to witness.

Yacht perfect way to see Northern lights - Loved getting out on the water to see the Northern Lights. Lead guide was excellent in helping get camera settings right to take pictures. Yacht offered warm places between lightshows. If warming up, guide always invited us of the cabins when lights were forming. Highly recommend.

Great way to see the Northern Lights - The crew on the Amelia Rose were welcoming and competent. The vessel had plenty of seating (indoors and out) and lots of deck space to view the lights. We had a spectacular show!

Aurora danced the night away! - By the grace of God we had the clearest night. We arrived at the boat and walked around to check everything out. The yacht was clean and comfy. Once we set sail we had activity! The lights put on a show for us. We had reds, yellows, blues and of course green. I saw a shooting star and all. None of this was guaranteed but it was everything we imagined! Learn how to adjust your camera. If not the crew does a marvelous job of going around and helping out. This tour was magic! Our tour guide was Rebecca and she was a stellar host! Book now! Bundle up!

Great guide but no northern lights - The guide was very knowledgable and friendly. Such a nice woman. However because of the weather, hardly saw any of the northern lights which couldn’t be helped. We were told that we could come back to a future showing because of this. However, the next two nights we were there, it was cancelled. Felt a bit cheated as those customers got a refund and we didn’t. As I said it can’t be helped but we did pay quite a bit for this,
