Join us as we explore Alta, Norway—known as the City of Northern Lights—on our Viking Northern Lights cruise. During our two winter days in Alta, we experienced some truly memorable Arctic excursions, including reindeer sledding with Sámi herders, dog sledding through a snowy landscape, and an included city tour featuring the Cathedral of the Northern Lights and the Alta Museum. In this video, we share what these excursions are really like, how physically demanding they are, and helpful tips to decide if they’re right for you. We’ll also talk about tendering in Alta and a small mistake we made—so you can avoid it on your own cruise. If you’re planning a Northern Lights cruise or considering excursions in Alta, we hope this helps you make the most of your visit. 👍 If you found this video helpful, please like and subscribe to support our channel. 💬 We’d love to hear from you—would you try reindeer sledding or dog sledding? 🎥 Welcome to Next Act Cruising! 🛳️ We’re part-time retired, recharged, and ready to explore the world—one cruise at a time.
