Norway’s coast is already one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, and now we’ve appointed Tom Kerss as the world’s first Chief Aurora Chaser to help make your experience even more unforgettable. But what exactly does a Chief Aurora Chaser do?
In the first episode of Spotlight Aurora – our Northern Lights in Norway webinar series – Jess Ellis, our Global Social Media Lead, quizzes Tom about his exciting new job.
In short, Tom is here to maximise your chances of seeing the aurora borealis and to answer all your Northern Lights questions when you sail with us.
Find out how he forecasts the Northern Lights and what he loves most about his role. Clue: when night falls, anything can happen! Tom also tells us what surprises people the most when they see the Northern Lights for the first time.
