Sail to the Northern Lights with Sir Ranulph Fiennes
SAILING t he dramatic Norwegian fjords in winter not only gives you the chance to admire rugged mountains and majestic waterfalls, but also – once darkness falls – to see the magical Northern Lights. And there is no better way to see nature’s light show for yourself than on our unforgettable 12-day cruise.
As well as enjoying one of the most beautiful and unspoilt places on Earth, you will have the chance to meet legendary explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who has completed recordbreaking missions to both Poles and Mount Everest, and conquered the North Face of the Eiger.
Sir Ranulph will give two talks and host a question-and-answer session during your trip, and will also join you on an excursion to see the spectacular North Cape, the most northerly point of Europe.
Our first Northern Lights sailing with Sir Ranulph, along Norway’s coastline at the end of last year, was hugely popular with readers, so book your place now to avoid missing out.
