Step aboard a luxury yacht and drift into the darkness of Faxaflói Bay, where the night sky becomes your canvas. This intimate 1.5 to 2.5 hour voyage carries you beyond the city lights of Reykjavík, into waters where the aurora borealis dances in ribbons of green, red and violet above the North Atlantic horizon.

As your experienced crew navigates toward optimal viewing conditions, the coastline reveals its treasures from an entirely new perspective. Watch the crystalline architecture of Harpa Concert Hall shimmer against the harbour. Glide past the iconic Sun Voyager sculpture, that steel dreamboat forever pointing toward the unknown. Pass the historic Höfði House, where world leaders once gathered to end the Cold War in 1986.

Beyond the small islands scattered through the bay lies Viðey, home to Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower, a column of light that illuminates the winter sky from October 9th through December 8th. Between aurora sightings, lose yourself in the star filled expanse overhead, breathing in the crisp ocean air of the subarctic night.

When the chill settles in, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and retreat to the refined interior, where educational multimedia deepens your understanding of this celestial phenomenon. Hot beverages and light refreshments await at the onboard café. Whether aboard the newly refitted Harpa or the charming Amelia Rose, panoramic views and smaller group sizes ensure an unhurried, immersive experience beneath the Arctic lights.
