Winter cruises in the Great North

The coast of Norway in winter, its ports and the wait of the Northern Lights: two Cunard routes depart from Southampton and reach Tromsø, in the north of the country.

You can choose Queen Elizabeth, from 28 February to 12 March, or Queen Mary 2, from 14 to 26 March 2027. Both proposals last twelve nights, with possibility of accommodation in the inner cabin or with balcony.

Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon: its observation depends on the conditions of the sky and solar activity and is not guaranteed.
