Creator's Key Takeaways

The crew were absolutely phenomenal. The fact they remember your names within a day.

It was a beautiful site, but I loved seeing some of my group members and their reactions. The first time seeing the northern lights.

Borealis handled it beautifully. We had a lot of rolling, a bit of pitching. We had waves going over the top of us and it was all inspiring.

The best thing was watching this large group of people form bonds, relationships, friendships over the course of the 10 nights.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for late nights when seeking northern lights.
Research daylight hours for your destination.
