Why You Need to Cruise Norway with My Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line Each year, thousands of adventurers journey to the northernmost stretches of the globe in hopes of witnessing the shimmering, kaleidoscopic show of the northern lights. But did you know that a cruise holiday offers some of the best chances of spotting the aurora borealis in its full brilliance?

Tick the northern lights off your bucket list on this exclusive Norway sailing, specially curated

by My Cruises in partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line. Here’s everything you need to know about this once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

Exclusively Designed Itinerary A land of deep blue fjords, fairytale towns and snow-capped peaks, a cruise to Norway is a holiday you’re unlikely to forget. My Cruises has worked exclusively with Norwegian Cruise Line to design a unique cruise itinerary, perfect for those who dream of ticking the Northern Lights off their bucket list. That’s right, this Norwegian Cruise Line sailing cannot be booked anywhere else.

Like every good European adventure, this dream holiday begins in London.

A two-night pre-cruise hotel stay ensures plenty of time to wander along the River Thames, catch a show on the West End, tuck into a traditional pub meal and hit up London icons, like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

You’ll then spend 12 nights exploring Norway’s most enchanting ports of call onboard the recently refurbished Norwegian Star. Expect to soak in misty mountain vistas in Bergen, trace Viking history in Haugesund, sail along majestic fjords in Stavanger and sample fresh seafood delicacies in Alesund. Meanwhile, late-night stays 04

in the Arctic cities of Tromso and Alta offer a chance to spot the celestial hues of the northern lights.

Prime Viewing Opportunities Chasing the northern lights from the comfort of a cruise ship has its perks.

After all, being out at sea helps avoid artificial light on land, which can dull the colours and vibrancy of the polar lights. Plus, your ship can take you to remote areas perfect for viewing the northern lights, that other modes of transport simply cannot reach.

You can also trust that My Cruises has timed this journey to ensure your best chance at glimpsing the aurora borealis in all their mystical glory.

This sailing departs in early October, considered one of the best times for a northern lights sighting, thanks to clearer skies and darker nights.

Another bonus to cruising in October is that there’s still plenty of sunlight during the day to enjoy outdoor activities and admire the crisp tones of Norway’s autumnal foliage.

Better yet, the chances of seeing the northern lights will be at an all-time high next October. This is because 2025 marks a solar maximum, a time when auroral displays are at their most active and vibrant. While the aurora borealis is known for its elusiveness, this sailing may just be your best shot at catching the lights until the next solar maximum, which won’t occur for another 11 years.

Experience Freedom at Sea You’ll be setting sail onboard Norwegian Star, the perfect ship from which to explore Norway.

With a maximum capacity of 2,348 passengers, this fully refurbished ship never feels crowded, yet there’s still plenty to keep you occupied onboard.

Days at sea are spent pampering at the world-class Mandara Spa, being wowed by Broadway-style entertainment and sipping cocktails at the adults-only Spice H20 beach club.

Dining options are also aplenty, with flavours from Italy, Brazil, France and Japan all on offer.

Plus, when booking your Norwegian Cruise Line sailing with My Cruises, you’ll gain exclusive access to the Free at Sea benefits. Savour unlimited cocktails with your onboard beverage package, treat yourself to an extraspecial meal with your specialty dining package, tick off bucket list moments with your shore excursion credit and share your wow-worthy northern lights photos with your loved ones back home with onboard wifi.

Cruising has never felt more free.

Exclusively sold by My Cruises, a Northern Lights sailing like this doesn’t come around often.

Call our Cruise Experts on 1300 924 585 to secure your cabin on this limited time offer.

Make 2024 the year you journey across the ditch to New Zealand, a country of dramatic mountain peaks, delectable fine wine and sacred Maori culture.

Prepare to bask on idyllic beaches, sample seafood fresh from the sea and uncover ancient myths on a voyage to Greece. Explore the archaeological treasures of Athens before setting sail to those oh-so-dreamy islands, where powder-white buildings and bougainvillea blooms pop against the surrounding cobalt waters. Talk about postcard-perfect!

Home to lush emerald forests, turquoise ocean waters and fiery volcanoes, the Hawaiian Islands define tropical paradise.

Immersing yourself in the spirit of Aloha is made easy on a cruise holiday, as you can explore multiple islands while only having to unpack once.

If your kind of holiday involves surf, sand and sea, a Hawaiian cruise is a must-do.

DISCOVER MORE ON AN OCEAN AND RIVER COMBO It’s no secret that cruising is one of the best ways to explore Europe. After all, a cruise holiday lets you hit many of the region’s most sought-after destinations on a single trip, without having to navigate multiple hotel bookings and transportation between cities.

You’ll quickly find that the hardest part of planning a European voyage is deciding whether to embark on an ocean or river cruise. Our opinion? Do both.

02 01

VISIT EUROPE’S ICONIC CITIES

Whether you’re interested in visiting historic cities across the Mediterranean or the colourful capitals of Scandinavia, many of Europe’s most iconic destinations are located along the coast. Embark on an ocean cruise to sip Bellinis in Italy one day and uncover ancient ruins in Greece the next.

GET OFF THE TOURIST TRAIL

Meanwhile, river cruising allows you to experience the cultural heart of Europe. Discover bucket list cities, along with charming villages that appear straight out of a storybook.

Spend more time exploring these destinations with overnight stays and complimentary shore excursions, such as walking tours and cooking classes.

Find your every craving satisfied when choosing an ocean and river cruise combo. Enjoy endless dining options onboard your ocean ship, from decadent buffets to specialty steakhouses. On the other hand, a river cruise will tempt your tastebuds with regionally-inspired dishes, accompanied by local wine and beer.

BE WOWED

BY EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT Enjoy an impressive line-up of nightly entertainment onboard both your ocean and river ship.

While ocean cruises are famous for glitzy casinos and Broadway-style shows, river cruise lines often bring local musicians, singers and dancers onboard for a more intimate evening of entertainment.

NEXT LEVEL

Luxury

CRUISING Consider gin and tonic at sunset, a marble bathroom in your spacious suite, and a level of butler service that anticipates your every need. This is only the icing on the world’s most luxurious cruise ships. High net-worth travellers value more immersive, experiential, and meaningful travel than ever before. They don’t just want to be pampered, they want to have a memory and a story to tell beyond their travels.

When you’re ready to splurge on luxury, cruise lines are now incorporating never-before-seen luxury elements into their journeys that take your experience to the next level.

Bespoke Experiences

Hard-to-Reach Destinations

Escaping the every day, Cunard’s Shore Experiences Team is creating enriching, tailored, transformative bespoke experiences that tailor your time onshore. Expect once-in-alifetime moments like lobster fishing in the Atlantic, brunching in a French chateau, exploring Copenhagen by canal, or Portuguese tile painting in Lisbon. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, a tailor-made tour, or a privately guided experience, Cunard crafts onshore immersion on your unique itinerary, resulting in a customised voyage that’s perfect for you.

Luxury is also about being able to access hard-to-reach destinations or providing VIP access to places, structures, and areas not widely available. Think private access and intimate explorations. Luxury vessels travel beyond the beaten path, allowing you to discover more than most would in overnight stays and land excursions. It’s about ticking off the bucket list whilst also venturing beyond your wildest imagination to places untouched, undiscovered, or unknown. The intimate size of Regent Seven Seas’ ships means they can reach ports of call larger ships could only dream of.

GET ONBOARD Ready to indulge in luxury sailing?

SEASON 2024 | 2025

CULINARY EXCELLENCE With menus crafted by some of the world’s most revered chefs, discover selections to suit every taste, from plantbased meals to perfectly aged steaks and everything in between. Regent Seven Seas experiences invite you to glean wisdom from masters in the culinary arts with hands-on cooking classes, speaker series, vineyard tours, market visits, and Sommelier tastings. Oceania’s cruise ships are also known to have The Finest Cuisine at Sea with their popular Dom Perignon Experience, while Silversea’s S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) is designed by culinary experts to integrate food, culture, and destinations.

BUTLER SERVICE Silversea Cruises and Crystal Cruises are the only cruise lines in the world to offer 24/7 personalised butler service in every suite. Polite and attentive butlers will cater to any request, whether that’s unpacking your suitcase, restocking your tailored in-suite mini bar, or making dinner reservations. When a staff member recalls your name, the experience is not only customised, but also friendly, warm, and memorable.

Step aboard one of Seabourn’s luxurious vessels and you’ll feel as though you’re stepping aboard your own private yacht. Oceania and Regent Seven Seas also provides luxury 24-hour butler service for exclusive suites.

SPACIOUS SUITES To us, luxury means space to sprawl out on your plush bed, relax on a lounge with an excellent read, or order undisturbed in-room dining at your own table with a view.

Onboard Silversea, each ship boasts all-suite, all-ocean view accommodation with 85% of the rooms offering private verandas. Over on Regent Seven Seas, get that never-crowded feeling at the most luxe hotel at sea, where you’ll experience the freedom of lavish, personal space and supreme comfort, allowing you to see the world from beautiful, airy, calming spaces.

SLOWING DOWN For some, luxury is about being able to truly switch off from everyday life. The slower pace of life is a luxury for most in today’s busy always-on world. Many are taking cruise holidays to escape the demands of technology, break mobile phone habits, and enhance mindfulness. A cruise can liberate you from the barrage of news cycles, emails, and social feeds.

When cruising with Oceania, you’ll soften into a relaxing pace that makes the experience that much more enjoyable – and there’s never any need to rush or worry about crowds or wait in long lines. Avalon Waterways offers intimate cruise spaces with immersive, local itineraries and a mindful approach to travel. Expect uninterrupted quality time and true relaxation – pure luxury.
