Thank you so much for your replies. I would love to see a (good!) aurora but it sounds like the odds of that aren’t great… Thank you all for your advice! Have a wonderful vacation, donaldsc!!

I’m planning on taking an Alaskan cruise from Seattle up to Skagway in October. I would really love to see the northern lights and was wondering how much luck others have had in spotting them on similar trips? This year is supposed to be a peak year for solar activity and it looks like the moon should be under the horizon for much of the night, although I know that does not help with light the ship puts out. Anyways, do you guys have any tips or tricks for seeing them from a cruise ship? Thanks in advance!
