See the Northern Lights with Sir Ranulph Fiennes
WITH their dramatic mountains, towering cliffs and majestic waterfalls, the Norwegian fjords are among the most beautiful and unspoilt places on Earth.
A winter cruise is the best way to see them – and once darkness falls there’s also the chance to witness one of nature’s most bewitching spectacles: the Northern Lights.
On our memorable 12-day cruise, you will have the opportunity to meet legendary explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who has completed record-breaking missions to both North and South Poles and Mount Everest, and conquered the North Face of the Eiger.
Sir Ranulph will give two talks and a Q&A during your trip and will join you on an included excursion to see the breathtaking North Cape, Europe’s most northerly point.
Our first Northern Lights cruise with Sir Ranulph, which sailed along the Norwegian coastline at the end of last year, was hugely popular with readers – so book your place now to avoid missing out.
