NORWEGIAN cruising specialist Hurtigruten
is urging cruisers who are considering a 2012
Arctic cruise to get in quick, as NASA has
predicted that next year will see the strongest
Northern Lights activity in 50 years.
Generally a “solar maximum” peak happens
every 11 to 12 years, however 2012 will be
stronger than any peak in the last half century.
The best time for spotting the Northern
Lights is in late autumn and winter, and seven
of Hurtigruten’s ships sail to these areas on a
daily basis, offering voyages ranging in length
from four to 12-days.
Earlybird specials are currently available on
selected departures, see your travel agent or
call 1800 623 267 for more information.
