Booked this for the first night of our trip. Unfortunately did not see the northern lights. Tried to re book but was full which was disappointing given the guarantee they offer. Was some confusion over who we contact, whether it be Viator or the tour company.

Excellent trip, crew, ship, but… did’t see any northern lights at all. No complaints, was offered another trip for free.
