Northern Lights recommendations

My DH and I are looking to book to guarantee to see the Northen lights next year some time. We're open to a hotel stay, cruise, UK, abroad....
We're just wondering if anyone has any particularly amazing recommendations to suggest, including the time of year to help us as there seems to be so many options. We obviously understand that there are no guarantees so the hotel/cruise needs to be lovely just in case (to fill the hole of disappointment 🙄😁). Thank you

Cruises are a good option for northern lights viewings because there’s minimal light pollution at sea. Hurtigruten is so confident of sightings on cruises along the Norwegian coast that it offers a second cruise free if there’s no recorded occurrence of the lights. Most cruises offer an aurora alarm (a wake-up call that alerts you when they’re visible).
Check the calendar to avoid the full moon period.
The early autumn and early spring are statistically the best times.

Good Luck!
