    ideas for getting to see northern lights

    I noticed that Clarion and Radisson were the usual 2 hotels - I stayed in Radisson, others on the ferry stayed in Clarion. No one expressed any issues. I thought that the Clarion may be rated a little higher than Radisson, as those that flew business class seemed to be booked at Clarion
