The aurora activity, specially arranged in this itinerary, will last approximately 2-3 hours.

The aurora viewing season in Russia is from October to April of the following year. The appearance of the aurora is affected by many factors, and the timing cannot be accurately predicted in advance. Therefore, it may be impossible to see the aurora or the view may be unsatisfactory. We ask for your understanding, and complaints and refunds based on this reason will not be accepted.

**Please note:** Cruises departing on December 20, 2025, will enter through St. Petersburg and exit through Moscow.

Outfit suggestions: A thick, windproof down jacket, waterproof and snow-resistant ski boots, wool socks with foot warmers, a fleece hat, a scarf, and touch gloves (essential for photography); wear a close-fitting quick-drying shirt underneath, a fleece mid-layer, and a windproof outer layer to prevent heat loss from sweating. Aurora viewing tips: Carry a power bank (batteries drain easily in low temperatures), high-energy snacks (chocolate/nuts), and hand warmers to prevent your phone from shutting down. Shooting preparation: Camera with a tripod! Use professional mode on your phone, carry multiple batteries for the lens (keep them warm in a close-fitting pocket), and wipe with a fogging cloth frequently.

Important note: Chasing the stars is highly dependent on luck, so keep a calm mind! Even if you don't see them, experiencing the starry sky over the Arctic Circle snowfields and visiting the Sami village reindeer are unique memories.
